    I kept thinking about this post, wondering how I’d get everyone to believe me when I told them that he put himself in this position—that I had nothing to do with it. I wasn’t sure people would believe me when I told them that this clumsy creature climbed on top of a wooden chest and…

    After Em was born, I was up every couple of hours feeding him. Every night, I made several, bleary-eyed treks through our railroad apartment in search of pumped milk. Along my journey, I’d encounter famished felines, they would zigzag between my feet, sometimes causing me to stumble. Couple a feline obstacle course with bone crushing…

    We put my mother’s 16-year-old cat, Hazel, to sleep on Saturday. It was rough. We’re going to miss her.  The emotions I have had since range from a deep guttural sadness to a quiet desperation.  Moments before we put Hazel down, I caught sight of one of the many “cutesy” signs the vet had hanging in the waiting…

    I thought it might be time for a video of my two boys. I hope you enjoy! P.S. I know it may seem like Murray is ready to scratch Em, but I assure you, that’s not the case. Murray is very gentle especially with Em.

    I am so worried about Murray. He continues to consume things he’s not supposed to. Last week, right after I wrote about his recent chewing fiasco, I came to discover he’d eaten the straw off Emory’s drinking cup. It was out of my site for about 15 minutes. And he’d never touched it before.  I…

    I visited our local pet store recently to get Murray some vitamins. My hopes are to stifle whatever is that’s making him consume weird and dangerous plastic things. The owner there knows all about Murray. This last visit, she stopped me midway through my purchase and said, “I was thinking about you recently. I was…

    “Murray is small. We’re pretty sure he’s going to be tiny all his life”   It’s a good thing we don’t gamble. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 85 weeks! Granted, they haven’t been 85 consecutive weeks. I think I missed the Tuesday whenever I was giving birth. And I think I forgot…

    Here’s an old school GIF animation for you. You dream of having this view, admit it.

    We have a talking Elmo doll. In theory a talking Elmo doll is a great idea—like car alarms, scones and Communism—but if you apply a talking Elmo doll to everyday life, it quickly loses its greatness. Talking Elmo talks a lot. He tells stories, laughs and dances whenever you press one of his buttons and there…

    It’s been over a week since Murray’s second surgery. He seems to be doing well, but he’s still doing his fair share of weird things. For some reason he keeps licking the inside of our skillets. And sometimes I’ll catch him in the kitchen sink licking the concrete right where it connects to the metal…
