I want to see this movie.

Must Have: ModKat Litter Box

I know Cheddar wants this litter box. The only question is… which color?

A Finished Product

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 really count.

At any rate, Rufus’ mom is a Princeton grad and her birthday was just before Halloween so I finished this up for a well-timed and coordinated gift. Apparently it’s getting rave reviews at the office.

Cheddar likes the Gap, Inc. brands too.

The Battle of Vera Bradley

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

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 that hairdresser with a bad haircut…. you just had to wonder.

Cats and Dogs

Anne — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:04:00 +0000

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 be mean. And they destroy things.

Then I met Chloe and Zoe. Zoe just hides under Sara’s bed (and occasionally poops on mine). Chloe, though, is pretty much the best cat ever. She talks, she purrs, she makes this endearing mrmrmrmrmrmrrrr noise. She stands on the back of our kitchen chairs and paws at you to give her food. While she definitely wants her dinner, she not too annoying about it. She loves to be held, never bites or scratches, plays with toys and smells good.

So now, having experienced the fantastic Chloe-monster (as I call her), I’m tempted to get a cat. But then… what if it wasn’t like Chloe?

Stylish Golden

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.
