The Zoo

Maybe I should have these guys over to teach our cats how to use their cat door!

As anyone who read my blogs know, I love my cats but they are evil and they make me crazy with all the crazy things they get into!! So, I decided that life with them would be a lot easier if we could: Give them a place to hang out that is outside of the house. Have a place where …

A few days ago someone asked me when we would be seeing more of Sherman on my blog, so this morning I got out the camera and snapped a few photos. All was quiet in Shermanville.  The ‘sun’ had just come up and Sherman was nowhere to be seen.  It usually takes him a while to come out from wherever …

A snippet from my Spats section: Dogs Balls – Repeated Since Bailey turned six months old Xander and I have had an ongoing argument about his balls. I want to get him fixed, Xander doesn’t. Now I understand it’s just male instinct to want to preserve all testicles on the planet, but there must be limits. Where I come from …

Ever since I’ve gone back to work, one of the hardest things to deal with has been leaving Bailey home alone.   He’s my baby!  Leave me alone, I know it’s sad!  For the past five years he’s had me by his side all the time and suddenly he’s being left all alone.  Look at that face, doesn’t it break your …

Ok not quite jaws, but still…   Chip is looking mighty stalker-like in this photo.   If you’ve ever wondered what guppies look like when they are babies, well that’s it… and that poor little fry had no idea that Chip was sizing him/her up for lunch. He never did catch it, mind you.  At least not that I know of…

Harley was out to play for a while yesterday after I cleaned his cage.   He isn’t out very often in the day so I took advantage and got some pics.  Check out those little teeth!  That’s one of the cutest things about hedgies, they all look like bucktooth little nerdballs. He’s all ‘Please get me from my good side’ in …

OHMYFREAKINGOD!  I don’t know whether to laugh or cry… I was just sitting here wondering what photo to use for this week’s them, when I heard a big kerfluffle from the other end of the room.  I looked over just in time to see Spencer the devil cat sailing through the air and landing in one of my turtle tanks!   …

It’s now been almost a year since we took Stelo home and lost Cupid.   When Cupid died I was really worried about Stelo but he really did seem a lot stronger from the beginning.   This is Stelo today!  Click on the photo to view it larger (looks better that way!) He has really grown!  He’s strong and healthy, eats like …

Sometimes my cats are well and truly evil, at those times I ask around and try to pawn them off onto friends because I’m convinced I just can’t live with them anymore.   Like this photo I took of Spencer drinking out of the toilet years ago when I was living in Prince Edward Island. Then there was the time I …

That sounds so glamorous doesn’t it?   You’d never think it means that I spent new years day playing in the dirt!  Did you really think it meant I was off getting a facial or something?  Eish, you don’t know me at all! I spent most of the day yesterday washing out 25 kilos (55 pounds) of sand for my 360 …
