I have a hard time admitting to reality sometimes. But eventually, it catches up with us all. So here is the story of what has happened over the last week. On Tuesday of last week, I took Mitsy and Pablo to the vets. They have been losing weight, which they desperately needed to do, but [...]

Reasons I don’t live in New England
This tree bloomed at the end of January. Since then, I have been spending Saturday afternoons in the backyard with Mitsy and Perl. Perl chases squirrels. I read the newspaper or a book. And Mitsy? Well, Mitsy paces and stops occasionally to sniff something. Truth is, I don’t know what she is doing. But Perl [...]

New hiding spot
In an effort to quell any need I have to move after being in the same spot for nearing four years, I have been redecorating. Out with the old, in with the new. Including a new pet bed. I’d call it a dog bed except Perl has yet to be allowed to use it. Mitsy [...]

Update on the kill
It seems that what Mitsy killed was indeed a gopher. I wasn’t really sure since I haven’t seen one up close before, but now that I’ve had a chance to check out some images online, I can confirm that this one will not be digging any more holes. Okay, that is a lie, I’ve seen [...]

Thanks but you shouldn’t have

Seems that everything is back to normal. As normal as my life is. My new vacuum cleaner sucks—and that’s a good thing. My cats are sitting with me, watching the moth I accidentally let inside my now clean condo. Everyone seems healthy and happy and all is good with the world.

Home again
I managed to get into San Francisco. The flight was delayed by an hour because of bad weather in Boston, but I didn’t care because I’m already late getting home and I ran into my friend, Ken (thanks for getting that stupid Barbie song stuck in my head), who also happened to be on my [...]

Pablo still at the specialist
But I’m getting on a plane. I had to decide to be worried here or with my family. The vet told me to go. Mitsy and I did go visit him today, and he does seem better. His temperature still isn’t normal, hanging out at 104, but he actually responded to my touch, he ate [...]

$1k later…
It looks like Pablo has inhalation pneumonia, meaning he inhaled something and it started an infection in his lungs. The doctor is sending the xrays to the cardiologist to confirm. Supposedly this is fairly rare, but so was Mitsy's brain fungus two years ago. Atleast Pablo won't need an MRI like Mitsy got. I wonder [...]
