Adrianna has an active imagination. She enjoys pretending to be dogs and cats, among other things. Yesterday, she was being a cat. She told me, “I’m being a kitty. My name is Petey.” Playing along, I said, “Hi, Petey. How are you?” She replied, “I am going to have to die pretty soon. That is […]

Scurvy Pirates
Adrianna was humming the tune to What Do We Do with a Drunken Sailor when she suddenly lit up and told me that she wanted to watch the show with the “scurby pirates”. I am not sure what show she is talking about. Perhaps Backyardigans; I think they did a show where they were imagining […]
Teddy’s Kitty
Tonight as Adrianna were sharing a quiet moment together before her bedtime: Adrianna: Mommy, Teddy’s sick. Me: He’s sick? Adrianna: Yeah. He’s sad. Me: Why is Teddy sad? Adrianna: His kitty is sick. He can’t move. Me: Oh? What happened to his kitty? Adrianna: He died. He is with Jesus now. Me: Well, that’s a […]
Grieving
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, phone calls, and messages. They are much appreciated. I am having a really hard time dealing with what happened to Petey. Even though we are now on a fun mini-vacation, Petey and the circumstances of his death are never far from my mind, and it has been really […]
Petey
Our kitty, Petey (aka Dr Peter Jones), was killed last night. Greg awoke to a commotion on our porch at about 3:00 a.m. He ran downstairs to investigate and opened the door to find two dogs attacking Petey. Greg scared the dogs away and brought Petey inside. Poor Petey was in very bad shape. We […]
901 Posts
I noticed that this will be my 901st post. Wow! Yeah, me!! And that doesn’t even include the posts Greg and I made prior to July 2004 when I started this WordPress blog. We started blogging back in April 2000, back before I had even heard the term ‘blog’. Does that make us blogging pioneers? […]
Everybody Loves Big Bear
Petey cuddled up to him for quite awhile last night.
Petey:0, Garage Door: 2
Petey got caught under the garage door again. Darn cat. He will wait until the last possible moment and then try to dash in. He waits so long and crouches so close to the ground so the motion sensor doesn’t catch him. Last time it squeezed the pee right out of him. This time that […]
Need Dog Food
Our dogs ate the last of their food tonight. Petey runs out of his kitty food in a week or so. With all the recalls on pet food and the many pets who have died recently because of contaminated food, I am scared to go to the store and buy them more. But of course […]
Our Memorial Day in Pictures
The weather today was beautiful. It was overcast and in the lower 70’s all day. Adrianna explored our front yard. Adrianna tasted some bark, even though Mommy warned her not to. Shoulda listened to Mommy. Spent some time with Petey. Adrianna spent some time cuddling with Mommy (in the glider chair that smells like chocolate) […]
