  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 39)

    This post is dedicated to Jen and Mike who had to say goodbye to someone very special last week. I have a bad habit of not realizing how much I’m going to miss a part of my life until it passes me by. I get nostalgic over everything even “bad” times, depressing times. For example,…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 38)

    If somebody from Animal Planet contacted you about taking part in a reality TV show about pet weight-loss (Biggest Loser for pets) would you consider it? Murray’s so fat! Speaking of Murray… TobyJoe and I have talked about how Murray will most likely be considered Emory’s first childhood pet. Tucker and Pookum are much older…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 37)

    It takes anywhere from five to 15 minutes for Murray to take a poop. It’s never an easy, in ‘n out kind of deal. I think he plans for it, actually, like a vacation or a picnic in the park. I’m usually in bed or watching something REALLY IMPORTANT on the television whenever he decides…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 36)

    I was going to write a story to go along with this photo, but I think the photo speaks for itself. Murray does this every single time we bathe Emory. Even after Emory begins to flap his arms and fling water everywhere, Murray remains. Someday when Emory’s older and he and his friend Jim Brown…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 35)

    As of March 1, 2008, Murray is one year old. March 1 may or may not be his real birthday since he was orphaned, found and rescued. March 1st is a guestimate, one we’re sticking with. Unfortunately, we were out of town and thus unable to celebrate his first birthday with him. I feel terrible…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 34)

    Murray received his first ever gift yesterday from one of his adoring fans. We’re calling him Mister Snuggles for now, although, he’s new so that name will most likely change. He’s full of catnip. Murray is both stoned and pleased. Mister Snuggles is awesome and so is his maker. (Whom, as soon as she writes…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 33)

    Murray has made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t want us having anymore kids. He doesn’t outwardly dislike Emory. As a matter of fact, he and Emory have teamed up a few times to ransack the place. I don’t think he’s particularly upset with Emory on a personal level. I think he’s just really annoyed…

  • Emory

    The single most awesome photograph ever. OK, well, maybe not ever, but definitely of Emory. Edited to add: OK, so tonight Emory decided to pick a fight with The Economist. Emory won with Murray’s help, of course. So, this shot comes in close second to the one above.

  • Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 32)

    A few weeks ago, I wrote a post entitled Waging War Against Bisphenol A. It’s in reference to how TobyJoe and I are cutting down on the amount of plastic we use. It led us to purchase these pacifiers from Zoe B. Emory enjoys a good pacifier every now and again. I didn’t expect Emory…

  • Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 31)

    Putting the Super in Tuesday. (Poster was originally designed by this person. I think.)
