Risks

January 7, 2011

My cat likes taking risks as to when I will let her sit on the table or shoo her away. Last night, I caught her in my kitchen sink when I got up to get a drink of water. She jumped down as soon as the light came on. She knew she was busted! She [...]

Ha! I love cats. Emmie is meowing from my bedroom for me to chase her. We play every night chasing each other from the kitchen to our bedroom to the living room. She loves our game of chase after the kids are in bed.

Le Soleil

March 26, 2010

Emmie Cat had been enjoying the beautiful sun for about a week. Emmie stretched and slept in the sun most of last week from her chair. One of three that she claims as her own. Today, it rained and it snowed. I am sure that even Emmie is missing the sun and is ready for [...]

Spring is in the air

March 17, 2010

Even my cat can smell it! She is acting even more what I like to call “cat crazy” this week! She runs, bounces off furniture and meows…All the time. She is adorable. I opened up our windows to let in the fresh air like I do every single day at least twice a day. Emmie [...]

March 3, 2010

Emmie Cat loves to jump up on top of the kitchen cabinets to sleep, watch us or escape from the kids. She was up there today as I was preparing lunch. I was making spaghetti bolognese. Chopping up the onions made me cry. Those onions were strong! I glanced up at Emmie between my tears [...]

A cat’s life

Emmie loves to sit or lay on the back of this chair and watch the birds outside. She is my girl. Just look at those eyes. Oh, and do you see that plant on the floor in the background? She LOVES digging the dirt out of it every night and shooting clumps of it all [...]

My six year old daughter and five year old daughter lost a tooth tonight. First my five year old and later my six year old. I was honored that they trusted me enough to help them pull out their teeth without any tears or fear. It is the sixth for my six year old and [...]

Swiss Jack O’ Lantern

October 16, 2009

Seen in Tavannes, Switzerland this past weekend. ********** Emmie Cat had her first check up since her surgery. The vet said she is doing very good. The blood in her urine (only the first day after she came home) was fine since her bladder was fused to her uterus. This was the complication that [...]

Missing our girl

October 9, 2009

This is the second night that Emmie is not here. We miss her. Her surgery was this morning. The lump was easily removed. It was when the vet went in to sterilize Emmie that complications arose. The vet said it was “not pretty” in there. The rest of the explanation was a bit complicated for [...]

Update on my Emmie Cat

October 4, 2009

We took her to an animal clinic in Delémont and the staff was just perfect. It was all very quick, professional and thorough. She was given two shots to ease the inflammation (if that is what she has) in one of her nipples. I am to give her pills that do the same thing in [...]

Our cat is in heat…Since Sunday. I am exhausted. She starts at four in the morning with her cat calls and kitty porn star behavior. In order to get her to stop howling I have to pet her which only excites her more (very disturbing) or throw her out on the balcony with the shutter [...]

Eight years ago, I stood with a nervous happiness as I faced you with my hands in yours. Eight years ago, I said I do. Eight years ago, I became your wife. Eight years ago, we started our life as a family. Eight years ago, our love was so fresh and delicate like the flowers [...]
