And it's not a particularly happy one, although it will hopefully be okay in the end.

In a nutshell, we adopted an adorable kitten about a month ago. He fit into the family almost immediately, but what we didn't realize is that the stress of the little menace new family member caused a flare up of a condition we didn't know existed in both of the ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting at the computer, headphones on, tunes cranked, writing, when I hear a yelp and a growl and another yelp from the living room. I drop everything and run out to see what's wrong, only to find Spots curled up on one end of the couch and Minie sprawled out along the entire length of the rest of it. As I watch, she puts a paw on Spots ( Read more... )

Off work today (Columbus Day + government job = \o/), so I should get some writing done. I'm still writing at least 500 words a day, so there's that. Hopefully, I'll get the Jesse fic finished this week so it won't be hanging over my head as a WIP any longer. :P The Hunger Games monster (which I guess I could say is a Catching Fire monster, ( Read more... )

A statement and a question:

I am so frakking lucky Minie doesn't have thumbs. O_O

I want to help but I have very little money to donate myself (I am going to see if there are any offerings I can afford, though). I've gone through my backlog and ( Read more... )

So, I got voted out of the first round of fanvideo_las with the very first challenge. Go, me? I should be able to post the vid for general consumption tonight or tomorrow, depending on whether or not I get some time away from the puppy, and you can decide for yourself if it sucks. (PUPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!)

Speaking of...

( Minie pics under the cut )

Little Minie is such a good girl! She had an accident in the house first thing. Oops. But that was the only time. Every time I took her outside, she did her business and was ready to come in. And she slept in her crate through the night without bothering us once, not even a whimper ( Read more... )

The husband and I went to "Mingle With Our Mutts" at a localish animal shelter Sunday and we put in an application for a little girl. Sadly, we're the second in line for her adoption, but if the family who asked for her first doesn't claim her by 7:00 pm today, then she's ours.

ohpleaseohpleaseohplease...

I got home from work tonight and, instead of coming from the living room, where she usually spends her time during the day, Spots came running (a bit belatedly) to greet me from the direction of my bedroom. Didn't really think anything of it ( Read more... )
