Duncan's been immortalized AGAIN

You guys are NOT going to believe this. Remember two years ago when Duncan was immortalized in a piece of street art by Elmaks? Well, it’s happened again. This time he’s in a novel. I’m not kidding. I was reading a book, when suddenly, completely out of the blue, right there on page 37, there […]

Why does Duncan do this?

Duncan under the zoom blanket

It’s been awhile since we talked about Duncan. He’s in good spirits and I think he lost two pounds. GC gave him a toy for Christmas which hooks over a door handle and has a mouse on an elastic for him to play with. He plays with it every day, […]

Duncan's been sleeping on the job

I’m a little concerned about Duncan.

There’s irrefutable evidence of a mouse in the house, but Duncan seems either oblivious or indifferent to it. The mouse is running roughshod all over the basement, which Duncan visits several times a day, since his litter box is down there. The mouse even destroyed a gorgeous […]

Happy Birthday Duncan!

The date almost slipped by unnoticed, but I suddenly remembered…It was two years ago today that Duncan and I adopted each other. We met on January 3rd, I went back for him on the 4th, and he got his name on the 5th.

Here he is today, doing what he does best.

I’ve loved a […]

Blah blah blog

Whining Advisory: The following paragraphs contain whining. Lots of it.

Lately I’ve been feeling a little down. It’s like I haven’t got enough energy to feel good. You know how sometimes you take the stairs two at a time without even noticing, and other times you’re acutely aware of your own gravity as you trudge up […]

Instead of sleeping

GC thought it would be a good idea for us to get up at 4 o’clock in the morning and drive to the Gatineaus to watch the Leonid meteor shower. In some odd twist of logic, we stayed up late since we had to get up early. Then GC read a few pages of Flashforward […]

I have a secret!

A sunbeam for Duncan

My house is full of sunshine today! Even the rooms that don’t usually get sunshine are sunny. Duncan’s in his bliss – sunbeams everywhere. Nothing he likes more than a snooze in a ‘beam.

The novel continues to surprise me. Duncan has found a spot for himself in it, and he […]

Duncan's increasingly sophisticated palate

Duncan dining on Tuesday

If I were to be reincarnated, I might consider coming back as a housecat, if it weren’t for the diet. Every morning, Duncan eats some cold stinky canned meat by-products. Throughout the day he snacks on crunchy pellets made of dry meat by-products and filler. All he ever drinks is water. […]

A big orange softie, red jello, and a pink button

Did you know that if you cry in front of Duncan he will use his big fat paws to mop the tears off your cheeks and then he will lick your eyes until you start giggling and then he will try to chew your hospital bracelet off your wrist?

I don’t know why I was crying. […]

Road trip: Mountains and rivers and knitting

Pre-Breakfast!

I’ve been so busy the last few days! I know the freelance job is just a few days a month, but it’s these few days this month, and they just happened to coincide with our road trip to Lindsay to visit my sister and brother-in-law at their trailer. (We had a lovely time talking […]
