I’d written recently of my loss of Afer E Granny, my “heart”.
When it rains, it pours – I lost Omaha, my “soul”, last night. Perhaps they were meant to make this journey together. Perhaps the powers-that-be just felt as long as I was grieving, best dump everything on me at once. I don’t know, but [...]

I love all my cats, past and present. I have to admit, though, two of them are a bit special to me. I don’t love them any more than the others, but there’s just this particular feeling about those two. I suspect it’s because I didn’t adopt these two cats because they needed me (unlike [...]

We had a ton of storms yesterday. Lots of rain, thunder, and lightening. For once, I got lucky and I actually landed up commuting when it wasn’t horrible out and got home pretty dry. I was nearly done with evening ”cat chores” when the radio announced there were three of four tornadoes sited. One was destined [...]

It’s been one of those weeks… or months.
It’s been CRAZY busy at work. We have a huge project going on that I’m immersed in and we’re under the gun. So, I’ve been putting in extra hours, staying late, and doing some work from home in the evenings and on weekends.
I had the brilliant idea to [...]

My friend Heather has inspired me to make some small steps toward being more eco-friendly. I started with some easy things. Rather than scooping the litter boxes and putting the “nasties” in an empty (used for cat food) plastic freezer bag, I’d use paper bags. Hopefully, even though they’re still going to landfills they’ll eventually [...]

I planned an “early night” last night. I was plenty tired, because of the time change, and thought it’d be a good opportunity to catch up on some sleep. It was a disappointment.
It took me a while to fall asleep – then I woke up around 2:00 because my legs hurt – so I rubbed [...]
Omaha

Omaha goes by many names: Omie, Omie da Great, Omie da Terrible, Omie overalls, Ohama bin Peein, even Bubba.
I thought Omaha was adorable, although a bit intimidating at over 20 pounds, from the minute I met him when I began volunteering at Tree House Animal Foundation in June 2002. Because of my initial fear, I [...]
