There are a lot of different types of marmots. The yellow bellied marmot, the hoary marmot, the long tailed marmot, the severely endangered Vancouver Island Marmot, and everybody’s favorite Johnny Marmot. But little is known about this elusive rodent, the lesser red velvet marmot. What is known is that it was originally in Hastings-Sunrise, but [...]

Inspired by Cici, I decided it was time to do another amusing looksee at my search referrals. I was not disappointed. sweater puppies: wow, you are totally in the wrong place. My sweater puppies are more like sweater… hamsters. Baby hamsters. Stupid hamsters. worst wedding songs ever: I’m still interested in this. Today, I think [...]

This is my mother. Are we surprised? Honestly, this is where I get it from. Today is my mother’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom! I hope it’s amazing. Of course, she got back from Hawaii on Sunday, so I’m not sure how the actual birth *day* can beat that, but still. Today is the day, and [...]

It’s January 25th, only 11 months til Christmas! What? ok, ok, no, I’m still recovering from last Christmas. No, really. We finally got rid of our tree yesterday. YESTERDAY. January 24th! This has been, of course, a saga of ridiculousness. I wanted to get it returned 3 weeks ago, when there were “dump your tree [...]

If you only watch one 90 second video this year, let it be this one: Battle on, Jasper. Battle on, Justice.

I’m not a fan of the “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” motto, because then I’d never be able to talk. What? Sometimes I’m nasty, and I’m okay with that. But holy crap, I encountered possibly the most horrid person on the planet today. So I was on the bus [...]

Usual Disclaimer: I’m body image positive. I don’t think fat people are ugly or inhuman or less deserving of love, unless they’re assholes. But that applies to skinny assholes, too. For me, I feel better at my preferred weight, and so I aim for it. I am petite, and none of this applies to other [...]

I have to do a quick shoutout (look at me, using the kids lingo) to my extraordinary boyfriend. In the last few days, Nick has: – been bitten on the lip – been peed on by a puppy – been woken up in the middle of the night by pathetic cries (er, Jasper, not me) [...]

So far today, we are indoor-pee free! Aside from a drop or two when opening the crate anyway, and I’ll let that go. I may have discovered the secret: Carrying him outside for his first walk. It’s bloody tricky getting the collar on him one handed, especially since other hand is full of wriggly excited [...]

Poor Justice. I think she’s getting a little fed up with this interloper. Every time she has something nice, Jasper wants it. And since he’s a pushy little guy, he comes up and takes it. And because Justice is evidently a giant suck, she lets him, and then looks sad for a while, and goes [...]
