That's her war cries. That's also her, "I just finished peeing" cries (I've asked and the vet says no crystals. Must just be her thing.) And sometimes she'll cry like that in the afternoon while staring out the window. She knows when I'm home. So more often than not, I just let her sing her...

I don't expect drowned mice are safe to dry and re-use. In any case, I pay a dollar or two for these and always have a few in reserve in the toy bin. I would frequently bring new ones home for Krista. And she would pitch them under the stove or the fridge. I don't remember buying the crab. But...

We had a mouse drowning the other night. While looking for another in my toy bin, I found a crab. If she’s going to drown her toys, they had better be able to swim. 🦀😻

She pretty much knows the drill now. I grab the scale and the bag of treats. That’s usually enough. But if I need extra summoning skills, I punch a few buttons on the microwave. She has leaned that I set a timer and then have that much time to fuss her over until I have to do the next cooking...

9.82. On the one paw, she lost weight. On the other paw, she had weight to lose. She didn’t eat much yesterday. But she made up for it this morning. I think she turned the corner.

Ooof! She just had another poop. 💩 She's also pawing at her food again. I don't know if that means she has mouth pain or nausea or she's still backed up. Or if she's simply pacing herself being aware of the morning and afternoon she's had. We had a good post-medicine spoon on the daybed...

I came home to a half eaten lunch and a couple of hairballs. To be honest, I thought the first one may have been an overlooked Bissell hairball since it got a lot of use today. Then I saw the second one that had food and some unchewed kibble. At least the first hairball picked right up with no...

Just remembered a detail for Sheddy Betty’s Barf Blog. Like Taylor Swift’s new album, Betty dropped a bonus 💩 a few hours after her first this morning. I didn’t think much of it at the time other than, “didnt I just scoop a poop the last time I woke up?” I didn’t pick through either (for...

Just watched a video of a guy using a power station to power his vacuum. It took 900W. Scrap that idea! I was looking at a 250W station for backpack use. A 1000W station is 1) as expensive as the vacuum itself, and 2) coming in at 22 lbs, it's heavier than the vacuum itself. I think my beef...

Twitter was too toxic for me before Musk took it over. I was never tempted to sign up for Twitter. Now I'm even more determined never to give my personal information to a Musk run company if I can help it. (I even told my financial advisors to never buy me stock in Musk-run companies--"I don't...

Yes! One is a Miele. I'm just beginning my research since both options are $$$. The other is also German and a SEBO. The head to head review is here. Same guy also reviewed the Lupe which was the endlessly serviceable one. But after watching his review, I think I would be disappointed by its...

Yes. Betty gets a second dinner between 9 and 10 pm. Some nights she finishes it between nine and ten (like last night.) But many nights she leaves some and comes back for the rest before morning. Then I'm up at quarter to five every morning to get her medicine in her. She usually doesn't eat...

I think I like Dyson's air purifiers better than I like their vacuums. My upright still works alright. But I just hate dealing with the cord and moving it from one plug to the next. My Bissell Bolt cordless is bunk. I keep it because it's better than not having one at all. But it really...

She seems to be doing okay. She occasionally has a silent chirp for me if I stop petting her for too long. (That belly has more padding than it did last summer. 🤦🏼‍♂️)
