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. Anyway, we’re at the height of hurricane season (not to be confused with Hurricanes Season, which will get underway in a few weeks). In fact, we already had Hurricane Dorian hit North Carolina a week ago. Thankful that...

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! Uno’s goofball brothers, Dos and Tres, are still available for adoption, as are many other sweet cats. And, of course, no Cat Day celebration is complete without honoring my best boys! Happy National Cat Day!...

The Raleigh World: Month Eight

Sorry it’s a little late, fam. Had a bit of a situation over here. An unwelcome visitor, so to speak. I’m just glad it didn’t completely trash my place. As I was starting to think of what to write about my eighth month in Raleigh, a swirl of clouds appeared off the coast of Africa. Over the next 10 days,...

The Raleigh World: Month Seven

My, how time flies! It seems like I just wrote the six-month po…oh yeah. I was a bit late on that one, wasn’t I? Well, here’s to not letting another update languish in my Drafts folder for three weeks! So I did some stuff in my seventh month in North Carolina. I’m still working hard as a freelancer. That’s the...

The Raleigh World: Six Months, Give Or Take

It’s not that I had forgotten about my monthly update. Things are launching in some areas and others seem stuck on the launch pad and I’ve been working and nudging as seems appropriate. It sort of seems impossible that it’s already been six months since Dos Gatos Locos and I spent our first nights here in Raleigh. I was excited,...

I Know It’s Not Caturday, But…

I’m really trying to avoid turning this into a Cat Blog, but dangit, these boys of mine are so gorgeous! Also, it’s Adopt A Shelter Cat Month, so if you were thinking of adding some FLOOF to your life (highly recommended), check out your local shelters and rescue groups!

How To Survive A Cross-Country Drive With Cats

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 out how to get my...

#AdoptDontShop 🐾 On May 5th

A house is not a home without a pet hair roller on every table. This weekend you have the opportunity to make your house into a home: the Bissell1 Pet Foundation is holding an Empty The Shelters event nationwide on Saturday, May 5th. If you were thinking of adding a FLOOF to your home, this is a great weekend to...

The Raleigh World: Month Three

Soooooo… Pollen Season is a thing here. The stuff that turns everything yellow is pine pollen: it flies through the air like snow, though in daylight you don’t really notice it until it accumulates on a surface (usually within a few minutes). Though it looks like I should be scratching my face off, the pine pollen doesn’t seem to trigger...
