  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 69)

    Murray seems to be healing nicely. The Pepcid and prescription “belly coater” he was given seems to be working wonders for his appetite. The vomiting has stopped entirely. Things are good in Murrayville. (Thank goodness.) But we’re not in the clear just yet. After his belly heals, we have to then take him back to…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 68)

    Murray threw up a couple of weeks ago. That’s not normal for him. It was alarming because it really shot out. I made a few phone calls and decided to keep a close eye on him before bringing him to the vet. I regret that decision now. One of the things I tried was giving…

    I was trying to write a story about what you see below but I feel the picture does a much better job. This was taken right before lunchtime last week. P.S. I’m having trouble focusing these days (lots going on, more on that later) but will hopefully have my act together soon.

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 66)

    Many of you have asked me to get a video of Em feeding Murray. You see, usually Em feeds Murray on the fly, without my noticing. Both parties make out under this arrangement: Em gets to appear as though he’s eaten everything on his plate, and Murray gets fatter and fatter and fatter. Last week,…

    I thought I’d take this opportunity and give an update on Murray’s diet. P.S. Murray signed up for a twitter account today.

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 64)

    Murray enjoys Em’s sloppy bubble bath seconds, which Em finds fascinating. (A few things about the video: Murray’s nickname is Myrtle. I have no idea why or how that came to be. The bubble bath is harmless for both baby and cat. See California Baby if you’re interested. Lastly, the blow-up protective covering seen in…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 63)

    When we lived in Washington, DC. I took pottery classes at a studio in Adam’s Morgan. I studied with Jill Hinckley and threw pottery like this, this and this. I wasn’t great at it, but I loved doing it and while there I met some of the greatest people. One of the people I met…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 62)

    Murray is fat. And for the longest time we’ve tried to ignore the fact that we may have had anything to do with It. I’ve suggested that he’s overweight because he steals food from us. I’ve blamed the baby for sneaking food to him. I’ve even suggested that Murray is overweight because of being bottle-fed.…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 61)

    We purchased a new toy for Em. It’s this crazy ball-shooting machine that plays music every time you press its big red button. It’s nuts. To be honest, I’m a little surprised that he even likes this thing. Had we been in a toy store, it probably would have been one of the last items…

  • Tuesday Without Me.

    To humanever it may concern, I regret to inform you that my friend, feeder, and feline keeper forgot it was Tuesday. She didn’t forget about me—she will never forget about me. I won’t let her. I drool on her, stand on her fat rolls, and steal her food. She has promised me that she will…
