Pip has a few favorite things. Soft blankets, belly rubs, his house, and toys. He spends many evenings cuddled under a blanket on the couch (even during the summer). Pip loves his toys. His house is full of toys which have been relocated from the toy box. While the balls generally get destroyed as fast […]

Calming Dogs In Storms
Storms can be scary things and I don’t blame my dogs when they are a bit uneasy with all the noises happening outside. I have never been a fan of storms, especially thunderstorms. I still have memories of trying to sleep during a 3 hours car ride while going through intense thunderstorms and then finding […]
5 Reasons Cats Own Us – And Why We’re OK With It
Pixel and Pico have been part of our lives for many years. When we headed to the shelter to bring them home, the volunteers mentioned that the cats will pick you, rather than you picking the cat, and it is definitely true. Over my lifetime I’ve had many different cats, each with their own personality; […]

Life Hack – Containing Cat Food Messes
I love my crazy, furry animals. They definitely keep our life entertaining with their various personalities. Pico is definitely peculiar, he only likes fresh water (anything older than 2 minutes requires replacement), isn’t quite sure how to walk properly, and makes a huge mess with his food bowl upstairs. We free-feed our cats, they come […]
DIY Waterproof Pet Water Dish Mat
We moved our pets’ water dish to the kitchen a few years ago. This is convenient for refilling (especially since Pico is like the kid in Signs who always has to have new water, even if it was filled 5 minutes earlier); however, there are problems having it in the kitchen because it will accidentally […]
Beef-Up Your Summer with Pup-Peroni
Summer has been having an on-again, off-again relationship with Seattle so far this year. We’ve had many pockets of summer-like weather, and then June-uary struck again this year, reminding us that summer doesn’t REALLY start in Seattle until July 5th. Pip & Princess absolutely love when the warm weather returns and they get to spend […]
