The Pet Door
February 16, 2010
It took us three years and the impetus of having a baby, but we’ve finally installed a pet door. The kitchen door leads to the basement, which we’ve always left ajar for the cats. We had thought about cutting a hole when we initially moved in, but we were hesitant because we didn’t want to mar a 100 year old door. Recently though, I’ve become less afraid of ‘ruining’ our house in the pursuit of making it work for our family. Paint the woodwork? Yes, please. Cut a hole in the door? Don’t mind if I do. […]

All Three Cats
November 8, 2009
This is a very rarely photographed occurrence! The last time I was able to get a photo of all three together was over three years ago. Violet was still a kitten, and we were still living in our apartment. Every so often, all of us are in a room at the same time. Me, Brandon, Eleanor, our dog Murray, and our cats, Violet, Mabel, and Kili. I get pretty excited whenever it happens and I announce it. “We’re all in the same room! We’re all in the same room!”

White Elephant
April 16, 2009
This is why stopping at garage sales can be dangerous. I’ve been looking for a ceramic garden stool to go next to my egg chair as a little side table, but I haven’t had much luck finding a good inexpensive one. Now I have a bizarre little elephant to set my drinks on instead. Murray’s a [...]

Murray is Recovering
March 12, 2009
He had surgery* on Tuesday to correct his dislocated kneecap (luxating patella, grade 3). He’s resting a lot, and he whimpers and makes moaning sounds every so often. He’s getting around well on three legs for now though, and we’re looking forward to seeing him get back to his normal self. * I did take a [...]
