Mark your calendars everyone – there’s a special new day planned!

As we all know from the world of blogging, there are numerous special events dedicated to particular days, weeks, and months of the year for our pets. Two of them – World Pet Memorial Day (June 9) and National Pet Memorial Day (the second Sunday in September) – are days to memorialize pets we have lost in our lives. But after writing Purr Prints of the Heart,  a book I wrote in tribute to the loss of my beloved cat, Mr. Jazz,  as a means to help people who had also lost pets and were struggling with the grieving process, I realized I wanted something more. Something that focused on two words I see on nearly a daily basis via blogging and social media – Rainbow Bridge. Read more

Thanks Rafflecopter… Not…

My Rafflecopter Doesn’t Work and There’s a Stray Cat in My Guest Bedroom – isn’t that what any respectable blogger would say the day she had an important post scheduled and was on her way to work? It all started Wednesday morning – the day I had a really important PAID sponsored post scheduled that included a giveaway, hence my need to use a Rafflecopter widget for entry purposes. Read more

I rarely do product reviews (paid or not) for an item my cats have not personally tested out, as I don’t want to be misleading about something I am not familiar with. There are times, however, when I absolutely know my gang of seven will like something without even seeing it, allowing me to feel comfortable sharing information.

Well, here it is, another weekend upon us! Time to put up my feet and just relax after a hard week of work. Well, that is, after the yard work, laundry, vacuuming, grocery shopping, cleaning, running errands, getting caught up on emails, blog posts, and bookkeeping. What? It’s Sunday evening already… but wait, I didn’t have any fun yet! Oh well, at least I know the cats will be having a good weekend. What kind of plans do they have? Napping, eating, and, of course, playing with toys. I already shared some napping pictures earlier this week, so today I thought I’d concentrate on the toys… Read more

Tell me about it…

When I came home from work on Monday, I was already longing for the weekend. By Tuesday, I was ready to crawl into a hole. Don’t get me wrong – everything is okay, it’s just that I’ve had to do an intense amount of data entry lately and my head is literally spinning. It’s truly amazing just how exhausting typing numbers all day long for weeks and months on end can be. To top it off, at night Dan and I have been catching up on watching Game of Thrones (we just finished season 4) and I think I am probably the only person on earth that literally finds Game of Thrones to be one giant sleeping pill.
