Bye, Bob

Friday, April 30th, 2004

Today was Bob Edward’s last day as the host of NPR’s “Morning Show.” He has been the host for 24 years. Since my clock radio is set to my local NPR station, I’ve woken up to Mr. Edward’s voice for more years than I can remember. I was watching Bill …

Laser pointer + kitten = way too much fun.

War and Peace

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

Yesterday, World War III was declared in my house. It was non-stop cat combat. Just a few minutes ago? Mishka and Freya were grooming each other.

Ear Mites

Good thing I took Mishka to the vet. Turns out he has horrid ear mites and I have to give him some nasty ear drops once a week for the next month. I hope Freya doesn’t get them as well.

Mishka

Okay, the kitty’s official name is….Mishka. It’s Russian for “little bear.”

Preemie

I seem to have a new cat a few days early! I went to visit him and they talked me into taking him home. He has a cold and they said it would only get worse there. My goodness he’s a bundle of energy! He’s a leeper and a climber. …

Uh-Oh
