As I mentioned on Monday, our orange tabby cat, Joe, passed away a week ago. Friends have been asking us whether our standard poodle, Kirby, is missing his little buddy.

A tribute to Joe

My orange tabby cat, Joe, died on Friday. I know that when we bring pets into our lives part of the bargain is that they’ll probably die before us. And it will feel way too soon. But that knowledge doesn’t make losing them any easier.

Rebooting the day

19 July 2012 | Comments [0] »

So it’s only 7:23 a.m. as I write this and I already feel like rebooting my day. Why?

Got pet hair?

7 December 2009 | Comments [2] »

I have a product recommendation for those of you with pets who shed. I have two standard poodles, who don’t shed, thank goodness. But I also have Joe, an adorable orange tabby cat, who is a shedding machine. How a 12-pound short-haired animal can leave so much hair around is beyond me. Seems like he should be bald by now.

Each morning when I’m writing my blog post one of the biggest impediments to my actually accomplishing that task is Joe, my orange tabby cat.
