Please don't make your dog a vegan
So apparently Ellen Degeneres is for some reason delving into pet food. Now based on what little I know about her from media, it seems like she is someone who has a genuine love and concern for animals, but I obviously don't know her personally. Even so, I'd be happy to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she is making a big mistake developing a vegan based pet food.
Please read this very informative article about why feeding your carnivorous pet a plant-based diet is a bad idea.
It seems quite obvious to me. It is not mean or bad of dogs and cats to eat meat. It is what they are supposed to do. It is natural. If you personally want to abstain from meat or even from all animal products, I don't agree with your logic, but you can go right ahead, it doesn't hurt you as long as you get the nutrients you need from your diet. Your pet, however, needs meat.
If the article is too long or hard for you to read, how about just watching this short clip form Futurama? It pretty much gets right to the point.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm right about everything. If you disagree, I don't care.
What's going on right now
I swear, someday we will be done fixing things and moving in. Maybe before our 2 year anniversary of moving in, which will be December 31, 2011. For pete's sake. I hope so. I made a Homeownership category on this blog but it is woefully out of date. I will try to keep it current, though. The process of fixing things and putting things where they belong continues.
We adopted two kitties from the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the fall of 2010. Molly is a sweet black and white/piebald kitty who was found on the streets as a stray. Katie is a torbie/Maine Coon who was confiscated in a hoarding case where there were 98 cats total. Both are great in their own way. Hopefully at some point they will realize that about each other. Every once in a while I catch them grooming each other nicely but usually they are tackling each other. Or, rather, Katie is tackling Molly and Molly is hissing and smacking the hell out of her. Katie is not quite a year old so she has to outgrow some kitten tendencies. Hopefully as she mellows they can become better friends.
In Memory of Billy the dog
Best.Dog.Ever. 1995-2009.
Many of you knew or knew of Billy. We miss him a lot but his memory lives on, especially thanks to this blog.
Here are some favorites:

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
