the littlest tiger

So much more to come from my weekend in Iowa but first, a photo of the littlest tiger I’ve ever gotten to play with … almost too cute for words 🙂 To my delight, there was a litter of 4 teeny-tiny itty-bitty kittens that I got to play with last weekend. I really don’t...

summer kitties

     Boy oh boy, did it get steamy today. The girls and I are stowed away in the bedroom with the AC, some Netflix and a ton of cat toys. It’s funny to see a cat chase a ball quite violently around a 12ft by 12ft room. ha! Happy 4th of July! Stay cool,...

zeus + sigmund … best friends

When Angela contacted me a few weeks back and told me about Zeus and Sigmund and how they were cat and dog but best friends, I got super excited. As you’ve no doubt been able to tell, I’m a cat girl. I love LOVE dogs and really enjoy working with them because they...

a golden beauty named Shelby

Rice Family!

I posted a few weeks ago about a lovely, lovely 1 year old guy who was just a ham at a recent photo shoot. Even though his parents said he was more crabby than usual, I wouldn’t have guessed that! Yes, I could tell he had a bit of a cold and was teething but he was...

1 year anniversary!

It was a year ago this weekend that I was fortunate enough to bring two lil girls into my life … Nope – not kids. But sometimes they whine like them! They are my kitties. They have brought a lot of things to my life … excessive cat hair AND under furniture...

friday, at last!

While this week flew by and I can’t believe the weekend is already here, I also can’t say I’m bummed about that. I was suuuper busy this week (which was fun!!) but holy buckets – I’m pooped!! Just in time for a weekend of R&R… well, not so much. Lots-o-fun...
