New Years Eve and Fireworks - A Need For Change in NL?

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook or have followed me on Twitter, you’re fully aware that my anxiety levels were through the roof this year during the holidays.  Mainly between Christmas and New Years.
Why?  - Because of the firecrackers, bangers, fireworks and everything else that went off causing my dogs to spin [...]

Catzilla!

It was just a few days ago I was telling Xander how happy I was that I could actually have things around without cats knocking them down or breaking them.   Spencer has been so good since he’s been here without Salem and I’ve noticed he’s a lot more careful about walking around things for some [...]

Princess Pixel

Pixel is slowly coming around to her old self.   She can now jump onto the sofa, run around looking for treats and torment Bailey now and then.   We do try to stop the playing though as her incision has not fully healed yet.
She spent the first two days acting like a little drama queen, and [...]

Awww… Zielig!

Well today was the big day for Pixel.  Now six months old it was time to have her sterilized.  The poor little thing!   It was so heartbreaking for me to have this done to her now but I know it is the best thing for her.   We learned our lesson by putting it off too [...]

Cheap Pedicure

Three Musketeers

Did you ever get the feeling you are being watched?
Can you tell it’s dinner time?  I was getting the stare down by the three of them wondering when they were getting fed.   Xander doesn’t usually do it but I think he figured if it works for the dogs…
Pixel turned five months old today.  She’s growing [...]

Bedroom Reno Part 1 – Camping Out!

The time has come to tackle our bedroom and get it up to date with the rest of our house.   It has been a long time coming!  We’ve been living in this flat for about 8 years and we’ve not done a single thing to it since we moved in.   When we bought the flat [...]

Pixel – Four Months Old

Pixel is now 4 months old and has been living with us for 2 months.  We are madly in love with her!  Bailey is as well, thankfully.   The housebreaking thing is going ok, the mistakes are fewer than in previous weeks, although she is still getting out for a walk every 2.5 hours or so.  [...]
