The vet gave them all an oral antibiotic and eye drops. … Continue reading Tucker feels so much better!

Mean old grouchy cat
Daisy hates the kittens. She wanted to steal them (and often tried) when they were younger, but now that they're bigger, she just hates them. Look at that face! If looks could kill....LOL

I’m making myself take 30 minutes in the afternoon to cook myself a healthy lunch everyday (today was a Portobello mushroom, ½ red onion, and … Continue reading I’m doing it!!!
