Sometimes it’s the little things that let us know God is always there, always providing. As you might know, my one and a half year old kitty Bentley has issues because he was hit by a car as a tiny kitten. We do squirty medicine every morning and night with a syringe. His newest bottle…

40:40 Day 29
So I have a curse when it comes to cats. My first cat, Tony ( short for Antonio Banderas), came home from Richmond Animal League at five months old and died a little over a year later of a freak blood clot that left both of his back legs suddenly paralyzed. The doctor said he…
40:40 Day 5
GSU My parent’s dumb cat Harriet went missing while they were in Florida. Aunt Mary was going over to the house to feed her and make sure she was in at night, but three days in she went over at dusk and there was no sign of H. Harriet would often roam the wooded hills…
New Year’s, Poop, and Limousines
I never thought a cat dropping a deuce could bring me so much joy, yet here I sit, watching intensely as Bentley enters the ring..um..litter box. He strains, he shudders, and…the eagle has landed! The crowd goes wild! Well, by the crowd I mean me, obviously. These past ten days have been eventful. I had…
The Cutest Stowaway
As I pulled up to the stop light, I became aware of a noise. It was almost like a bird, but no..maybe it was kids playing somewhere near the gas station? Weird. I turned left as the light changed and heard the sound yet again. It was coming from inside my car. I tried not…
Angela and the Ashleys’ European Vacation: Part Three
Sunday, August 14. I’ve seldom had a stranger day. We woke early to another impossibly gorgeous morning in Portugal and? packed for our day in Arrabida. According to travel articles, Arrabida had two amazing hiking trails with scenic viewpoints, cafes, wineries, windmills, and beaches. We threw on swimsuits under our hiking clothes, slapped together chicken…
Struggle Buses and Cat Pee
Note to self: Wine Tour Party Buses are not your friend. Happy Birthday, Ashley! Moving on. Do you ever have times where your life motto could be “If it ain’t broke it will be tomorrow”? I just came back in from attempting to mow the lawn. I filled the little gas tank, revved the engine,…
Christmas Jones
I shared a joke with a homeless man yesterday. My window was open (can you believe this weather?) as I pulled up next to the bus stop by the sketchy McDonald’s. There are always homeless people at this intersection, so it’s easy to just pass them by because if I gave them money every day…
Lost Cats, Car-Jackers, and Angels from Michigan
Two weeks ago my little cat was curled up next to me in bed. I was depressed because AshCap had moved to Tanzania. I looked down at Sebastian and said, “Well, at least I still have you.” Famous last words. That mofo disappeared a week later and I haven’t seen him since last Tuesday. So,…
A Tail of Two Kitties
This is Sebastian. I brought him home December 5th of last year. Three days earlier, my little tabby cat Tony (short for Antonio Banderas) had run out the front door when my roommate Sarah came home. I didn’t like to let him out front because of all the cars, but sometimes he got out that…
