The Weekend at Cosmo in Review
May 27, 2009
I know dog parks. I've sampled so many across the country, including California's Dog Beach, which I dream of taking Ollie and Honey Pie to. When I bought my first home, I searched the area within a one-mile radius of my favorite (at that time) dog park here in Arizona and landed …Read more »
Cat's Favorite Things
May 27, 2009
There's a lot of talk around here about the things we love as Pet Parents, what with the Favorite Things Sale going on in PetSmart stores right now. The event has had me pondering my own favorite things;asking myself, if I had to choose, which of those small ingenuities are so important …Read more »
A Brat Pack Update--in Bullet Format
May 27, 2009
It's random update Thursday! * Ollie's birthday party exceeded all of my expectations. We had about 20 four-legged friends show up. We had one puker and one fight real signs of a good party in my book. * The coupler was an interesting experiment. My final conclusion is that it's …Read more »
So I'm at the Doctor's Office Getting a Flu Shot...
May 27, 2009
Really, it's not the start of a bad joke, it's a true story, that involves The Pack. Sorta. There I sat, perched atop my physician's exam room table, sleeve rolled up to my shoulder, nurse poised and ready to inject my shoulder with anti-flu goodness when I turned and asked how she was …Read more »
Tales of a Failed Foster
May 27, 2009
Four weeks ago, at the close of a PetSmart adoption event, I arrived to pick up my latest foster dog. The rescue group's foster coordinator motioned toward a cowering little red and white dog with the face of a Jack Russell and the body of a Bassett. "Oh gosh," I said. "That's …Read more »
A Sad Day for The Pack
May 27, 2009
One lesser known, but no less important member of The Pack is my teddy bear hamster, Butternut Squash. Of all my pets, I probably spent the most time with Butternut, who lived in my cubicle for the past two years. Until last Friday. See, I'd recently begun to notice that Butternut's …Read more »
Battle of the Bulge
May 27, 2009
When I adopted Honey Pie, I had no idea how much she loved food. From what I could tell, her nutritional intake was dead on. Granted, she'd lived at animal control most of her life where her food was probably strictly regulated - I'm sure she got just the proper amount for …Read more »
Happy Birthday Honey Pie
May 27, 2009
Last weekend hosted two big events for The Pack - attending The Blessing of the Animals and celebrating Honey Pie's birthday (which is actually the anniversary of the day she entered my life). I can't believe it was only a year ago that I took Ollie be blessed (an event that also …Read more »
The Cat of the Brat Pack Heads South of the Border
May 27, 2009
I'm planning a vacation trip to Mexico and by "planning a trip to Mexico" I mean, "thinking constantly about what it will mean to leave the dogs while I float down the sea of Cortez and wave to Ceviche peddlers dotting the beach.: Ceviche / leaving the dogs behind / Ceviche / leaving the dogs …Read more »
Some days it's easier than others to put one paw in front of the other
May 27, 2009
I arrived at work today to find a coupler sitting on my desk. You know, a coupler - those funny looking nylon extenders that attach to your leashes and are supposed to empower you with the sudden ability to easily walk two dogs at once. The coupler was left there by a …Read more »
