I love to read hero dog stories. You know, the ones about dogs who pull babies from burning buildings or save kittens from freezing in the snow and such. And prior to last Tuesday, after reading one I'd look over at Darby and say, "No worries that we'll every put fingers-to-keyboard on your behalf for something nearly so heroic, dude. You may be a wonderful pup and all, but you're no hero dog." To be fair, I've never expected my dog to be a hero. When it comes to saving me and mine, my only...Shift work

"I'm Brin, the cool one." You know how you read those stories about men having two different families in two different places at the same time? I'm starting to feel a little like one of them. Bob and Brin (aka "The Strabies") have definitely settled into the ebb and flow of life at Casa de PPCT, especially as it relates to their getting fed and being on the receiving-end of some scritches from the suckers humans. They know we tend to pull our "primary" cats inside when it's getting dark and...Probably not the review they were looking for

I'm standing in the kitchen near the sink when my husband decides to come over and give me a little kiss on the back of my head. Given that we've been married since back in the days when computers came equipped with floppy disk drives, it's kind of nice that we still do things like exchange little kisses for no particular reason. Him: "Hey, you're hair smells really nice." Me: "Thanks. I used the cat detangling spray on it." Him: "Yeah, right. Sure you did." Me: "No, I really did." Him: "Why...Back from posting oblivion

It's been even longer than I thought since I last posted --- hope there are still some folks left on the other side of this blog :) I hadn't planned to take a break, but September proved to be my most challenging month of this challenging year, or at least that's what I'm clinging to until something else happens. Now that I'm beyond it (because, trust me when I say I'm well-past over it), I have the beginnings of a plan in place to move forward in my life and can get back some of that...Rescue Profile: No Paws Left Behind Rescue & Transport

Did you know that you can go to Zazzle and make a customized cell phone case featuring your pet? O.K., maybe you did know. It was news to me, though, which means I spent way too much time checking out these these cool cases. Not sure I'd ever put my phone down if I was looking into these eyes: via Or this one: via Love this one, too! via How about one with your pet's photo on it? via Or use your phone to deliver a message just by placing it on the table: via Or bring out your pup's inner...C-A-T-P-O-O-P, Part Two

"Worried? Do I look worried to you?""O.K., I'm back now. Sorry about that, but I already live with three(!) cats, plus mom gives noms to Bob and Brin, so when I see a cat, I figure the least they can let me do is give it a chase, right? But, back to my story. There I was, hanging out on the bed with Mom when she reached behind her and got her scissors. Now, I get the scissors a lot - to keep the hair out of my eyes, to get rid of super pesty mats and for when I get into the bad weeds that get..."Trouble is spelled C-A-T-P-O-O-P"

As I mentioned on Facebook the other day, Darby found himself some cat poop the other day... *tap tap tap* "Uh, Mom, you said I could tell the story and you'd type what I said." O.K., Darby. I'll let you tell it. "Cool!" "Well, I was out for morning patrol and I found me a great pile of cat poop, fresh and everything, like a gift, almost. No way I was letting that go to waste so *bam*, in I jumped, sliding and smushing it all over me. And I did great! I had poop and grass pieces from the...
