Corset Choice, Amanita
With 38.1% of the vote, the winner is Violet Silk Brocade! I’ve sent in my measurements and fabric choice and all that and if I’m lucky I’ll get the corset by the time we go on vacation; if not by then, maybe by the Mr. DC Eagle contest. Poor Amanita had to go to the … Continue reading
Out from Under…
Well, that’s an experience I don’t care to repeat. Specifically, dragging a very scared and confused Maine Coon out from under a deck that hasn’t ever heard the word “clean” in its life. Somehow, the cat got out.
She is Gone
Toadstool is gone. It was a long time in coming; she almost died in January and then again in May. We were living on borrowed time for a long time, and her quality of life had gone sharply downhill. In the end, we decided to stop giving her water; she was drinking it willingly but … Continue reading
Party in Connecticut
Stray Kitty in Connecticut, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. This is a stray kitty that hangs around the home of our friend in Connecticut. She’s very tiny, doesn’t weigh a thing, and is awfully affectionate for a stray cat. I want to take her home! We just came back from dinner at Bugaboo Creek, land of … Continue reading
A Maine Coon in the House Again
Princess Yum Yum, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. We have a Maine Coon in the house again. This is Princess Yum Yum, my in-laws’ kitty. They are going away on vacation for the entire month of July, so we are taking care of the kitty…at our house. Yum Yum came from the same breeder as Wu, … Continue reading
A Couple of Videos
I had promised kgola a little video with a couple of signs, and quarterling seemed interested too (?), so I made this video blog. It also gets into the new Gallaudet president a little bit, and at the end is an introduction of Amanita. :MK:, my sister-in-law, walks by in the background! I still had … Continue reading
Toadstool on Flickr
Do you think having 73 pictures of Toadstool is overkill? I can’t help it. She’s an old lady, and she’s had some close calls recently. In January she wasn’t eating or drinking and got so dehydrated she had to stay at the vet’s overnight (this was a couple of days after Wu left us). Since … Continue reading
Mischa Goes to the Vet
Tonight :A: and I had to take MK&R’s cat Mischa to the vet. He’s been overlicking a couple of spots lately and they’ve turned into bad sores, so we wanted to get him taken care of. We brought him to the vet and she pronounced him…well, neurotic. She announced that immediately after we explained that … Continue reading
Wu’s Tattoo
I think I’m going to get another tattoo. I got my current one (SFW, NSFW) in December 1999 and I screamed bloody murder the whole time, so I never got it touched up. I have been considering another tattoo for a while now, but I promised I would get the original touched up before getting … Continue reading
