Freaky Frugalite

My lovely blogging friend Karen at Karen & Gerard Zemek has a neat post about pets. Their dog, Abby Dabby Doo (don’t you just LOVE that name!) was featured in their local Ohio newspaper. So Karen decided to give every pet the chance to be famous with her Pet Blog Hop. It looked like fun [...]

I saw this at Sparkle’s blog: In Celebration of the Outstretched Paw. Wow! I’m glad Sparkle is so knowledgeable about all the holidays for cats; I had no idea there was such an endless stream of holidays and celebrations for my favorite animal! I thought my Cat, Livvy, would want to participate in today’s meme. [...]

I staggered in to the kitchen this morning, my nose following the delicious scent of coffee that The Hubs had got going (he IS a doll). He was up before me, so Livvy (our cat) jumped out of bed and followed him down the stairs to the cat food area. By the time I crawled [...]

I’d once heard it said that Siamese cats are very smart, smarter than “the other” cats. I never really knew if this was *scientifically* true, or if it was just some old wives’ tale or some such. But Livvy is an extraordinarily smart kitty. And I’m not biased when I say that, either! :shades: Maybe [...]

My pal Carole at Carole’s Thoughtful Spot (I love that blog name) sometimes writes blog posts titled “Thoughts Too Short for a Blog Post.” They are bite-sized blg snippets of musings, opinions, events, or, well, thoughts too short for blog posts! I find them always very interesting, and through them, I get to know Carole [...]

Instant clean house! Voila! Sorry I haven’t visited your blogs much the past few days. Boy, it’s been crazy. Daisy the beagle is better, albeit moving a lot slower than she was. But she’s able to go outside, and that makes her very happy, as the SUN is out today, and temps are rising. Yay! [...]

In case you didn’t know, WAHM is an acronym for Work At Home Mom. I love– just love– working at home. I never ever thought it possible, but here it is! I hope it lasts forever, because I just love my jobs (pro-blogging and writing freelance). The work is sometimes a little overwhelming, but I [...]

I’ve been seeing on some of the cat blogs this new thing (new to me, anyway): cat wheatgrass. I must have missed something in all my 35 years of cat ownership…. do cats really need to eat grass?! I always thought it was bad for cats to eat grass, because they… well…. because they barfed [...]

When she sits like that, she reminds me of the Sphinx. She’s been in a funk lately. May be the weather. I’m tired of gray skies and cold, too. She’s developed a yukky habit of licking my computer LCD screen. BLEECKKK! I have to cover it when I leave the desk. It’s a very nice [...]

Ever wonder what polydactyl kitty paw prints look like in the snow? Wonder no longer: I took the Snow Queen outside today. Got sick and tired of her sniveling at the doors and windows! That’s her paw print to the left, partially on top of one of our other “normal” cat’s paw print. I love [...]
