Portia recently had a surgical procedure to remove her kitten-making equipment. I back up my cats nightly, so I don’t need her making additional backups. She’s recovering nicely though. Here she is recuperating while Little E watches cartoons.
And here’s how she craftily avoids the cat equivalent of hospital food. … Read more
Everyone, say hi to the new meat. I don’t know what her name is yet. Perdita? Peaseblossom? Portia?
We had to spend an unnervingly large amount of my wife’s paycheck on a vet visit for Xena the other day. She hasn’t been the same since the weather got nice again and we let her go back outside – well, it’s more like we had to push her outside.
And therein lies the problem. … Read more
My pasture, let me show you it. These pictures were taken in 2007, a few weeks before Evan was born.
It’s Puck Day! A year ago today, my new kitty literally came and found me at work.
I wasn’t completely satisfied with the still shots I got from the Oklahoma Aquarium video earlier today, so I re-ripped the DVD that I dumped the raw video onto. I think there’s a slight improvement.
Last year for little E’s birthday, I took him to the Tulsa Zoo. They had monkeys and elephants there, so he was happy, but I found the place kind of underwhelming. Funny story: this time a year ago, the Crapquest, erm, sorry, Mapquest directions to the Tulsa Zoo were so horribly and amazingly and utterly wrong that we got seriously lost and accidentally found our way to the Oklahoma Aquarium. If I had only known how hard the OK Aquarium rocks compared to the Tulsa Zoo, we would’ve stayed lost and gone there instead. So this year, the whole family went to hang out with the fishies.
Dinner is cooking in the dashboard oven. Seriously.
Why build up excess heat in the house and run up the electric bill? It’ll take a bit more time than the oven would, but it’ll get the job done by the time I need to go get the little guy from daycare.
Or maybe you’d like a hot dog instead?
(Don’t worry, Xena’s doing just fine. Also note nice new window on the front of the house, replacing the one I accidentally blasted a hole through with a projectile thrown by the lawn mower…)… Read more
Meet the latest addition to the pantheon of critters hanging around my house. This one is a first though – we have a new semi-regular who has no paws, but does have wings. We haven’t had one of those before. But this one’s kinda pretty – and potentially very useful on the earning-one’s-keep scale. … Read more
