Saving Hahamongna - Hands Across the Dam

Hands Across the Dam is happening this Saturday at 11am. You can get more info at Petrea Burchard's blog, Living Vicuriously.


You really ought to come. If you're lucky you'll get to hold Tommy's paw.

Tommy and the Peacocks - that'd be a good name for a band, wouldn't it?

Tommy Against Monsanto




"Please don't make me put my head through that hole."
Don't think I didn't think of it...

We're All Still Here

Thankfully, the windows at the back of the house are covered in wicker shades, so Frieda had something to grab onto when she clawed her way to safety on the roof.

I’d carelessly left the back door open and Frieda had slipped out, when Tommy, who'd been sunning himself on the back patio, charged at her, plowing right past me, though I'd flung myself across his stout body, tearing my jeans and scraping my knee.

Frieda & Louise

Phew! That was a close call. I shudder to think what would’ve happened had Frieda attempted to scratch her way up glass.

I put Tommy in the house while Frieda’s yowl echoed through the neighborhood. I couldn’t see her but I followed the sound of her cries across the roof to my neighbor’s tree. I went inside for a tall stool (note to self: must buy ladder), and by the time I’d returned she stood at the foot of the back door, meowing to get inside.

Louise & Ramona

I feel bad that Louise gets to roam the living room and bedrooms, while Tommy is barricaded in the kitchen and garage, but I'd feel worse if I ended up with a dead cat.

Louise & Ramona

And really, Tommy's life isn't that bad.

He Who Needs No Introduction, but just in case you're new here, meet Tommy.

I've Become One of Those People...

 ... who dresses up her dogs.


In my defense, we've had some real weather the past few weeks. It's been cold.


And you may think the pitties are tough, but they have delicate sensibilities.


They easily catch a chill.


We've had rain too.

And Tommy hates the rain.


Hates it even more than wearing his yellow rain coat.


Happy New Year! From my pack to yours...
