A Finished Product
Saturday, November 8th, 2008

While normally I’m pretty good about finishing projects that I start, my knitting projects seem to suffer the most from lack of sustaining enthusiasm.  This sweater took me 8 months or so to complete, but I would argue that no one can be expected to knit wool sweaters in the summer so those months don’t [...]

Cat in a box

Cheddar likes the Gap, Inc. brands too.

The Battle of Vera Bradley
Thursday, July 17th, 2008

This video is sort of long and sort of boring, but it’s a good sample of what Cheddar and Sushi do all day long. On this day they were fighting over who got to sit inside my Vera Bradley duffel bag (which for some reason, they both love).

Keeping Me Company
Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Cheddar likes to sleep on my desk and keep me company when I’m sitting here reading blogs, listening to music, and writing this blog (which apparently, I don’t really do much anymore).

Welcome

Introducing the newest member of the Cloudman clan, Cheddar. He is approximately four months old, and so far enjoys: pouncing on my head at four AM, clawing at my new FLOR tiles, and purring nonstop. I decided being the only vet in New York City without a pet was starting to seem like [...]

Cats and Dogs
Friday, March 9th, 2007

I’ve never had a pet of my own. My family’s had two Golden Retrievers who were, obviously, the best dogs ever. When my roommate told me she had cats a few months before we were due to move in I was skeptical. Cats? They seem so stand-offish. And they can [...]

Stylish Golden
Sunday, August 6th, 2006

I signed on to JCrew.com with no intention of buying anything at all and I was happy I did because this is what greeted me on the front page. So nice.
I really do have a Golden Retriever bias. But is that a bad thing?? I think I’ll get one circa 2011.

Pet-less and Fancy Free
Sunday, February 19th, 2006

I don’t have any pets, but if I had a cat, I would definitely get this cocoon for it.
I’m one of the few members of my veterinary class who has managed to stay pet-free for all of veterinary school. While about 75% of my classmates started school four years ago with at least one [...]

All Dogs Go to Heaven
Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

My dog Raleigh was euthanized today. It’s never easy to say goodbye particularly to such a great dog.
Westmont’s Raleigh of Darien (his official AKC title) was named after the city in North Carolina, loved to roll around in the grass, and despite his breed didn’t learn to swim until he was seven years [...]
