November 14 is a very special day in our household. It’s the day that Clancy came home to us. It was roughly six weeks after Charlie and I had lost our beloved Simon Sebastien. Simon was my soul kitty and Charlie absolutely worshipped his big brother from the moment they met. When we lost Simon…

Pets Are Family: Include Them In Your Emergency Plan
Well hello there! It’s been a minute since I’ve been here. The freelance hustle is non-stop and, well, this became fallow land.

It’s ALWAYS Cat Day Around Here 😸
Today is National Cat Day. I thought I’d celebrate some of the sweet kitties from Best Friend Pet Adoption. First, let’s celebrate some recent adoptions!

The Raleigh World: Month Five
Let’s just jump right into the #WeatherReportByVicster, shall we? So in Month Five I learned that the temperature and the dew point like to be twinsies and no matter what I pull out of my closet I’m basically going to be wearing the air for the foreseeable future. Also bugs. Big, nasty bugs. A couple…

In 2017 I made a life-changing decision to leave the San Francisco Bay Area and move across the country to Raleigh, North Carolina. There is so much that goes into planning a cross-country move, from finding a place to live to figuring out how to get you and your stuff from coast to coast. Figuring…
