A New Role for Hissy Fit Jones
Hissy Fit Jones is struggling to find his new role in the family. He was always the outlier. The instigator. The “I like you, but not that much,” kinda guy. Now he is finding the annoying little brother role is no longer working for him. To be sure, he still bugs the piss out of … Continue reading
It’s Rumpy’s Birthday Month But I’m Not Celebrating
This morning I woke the same way I have for the past few days: clutching one of Rumpy’s old stuffed toys. October is Rumpy’s Gotcha month. He’s been gone for 6 months, but the hurt is as acute as the day he died. In some ways things have improved. Now that I no longer care … Continue reading
Life Goes On…
Bubba is home. He had stopped eating and was back to hiding in the bathroom closet sleeping all day. He was in a lot of pain. My sweet boy. I have taken his death particularly hard. Or maybe it’s the grieving the loss of four companions within the past 16 months. I feel incredibly guilty, and … Continue reading
Rest In Peace Bubba
I have just said goodbye to Bubba. I can’t talk about it now. I will offer my eulogy when I am able.

So what does that mean? Well, we’re not sure. The vet is concerned. When she removed those teeth, he had … Continue reading
So Ya Wanna Help Those in South Texas…

The sad reality, though, is that while your pockets are deep today, you’ll soon move on to the disaster du jour and Texas will be forgotten, not unlike the … Continue reading

Weruva BFF OMG! ‘People Food for Cats.’ September is Happy Healthy Cat Month, so Weruva asked me to review their Oh My Gravy! cat food, which they bill as people food for cats. Here’s some of the copy I was … Continue reading
The Bubba Saga Continues…
The Bubba Saga continues. Taking care of Bubba is a full-time job. Fortunately I have been doing a lot of working from home lately so I could be here to take care of him. There was a flea issue. I had applied Revolution to each cat. But the vet found fleas on Bubba two weeks … Continue reading
A Tale of Two Doctors
Bubba wasn’t eating. Again. So this morning I loaded him up and back to the vet we go. Dr. M. looked him over, then checked his teeth. Yes, he had a bad one. So she did a blood panel to make sure he was OK for surgery, then I left him there for her … Continue reading
