My Way or the Highway… to the Shelter

Posted on May 23, 2011 by BrassyDel

Matti is a very simple dog. He is shy but excitable, obedient but stupid. While he is occasionally a trouble maker, primarily as an instigator, he’s not a particularly difficult dog to live with. In a word, dude is one easy pooch. Tank, dear friends, is not like Matti. Tank is a Tank. Tank is a bulldozer. Tank is eternally…

Air Purr-ifiers

Posted on March 18, 2011 by BrassyDel

I am one of those idiotic people who grew up allergic to cats, yet as an adult adopted a cat. In my defense, Damien was so low dander that he didn’t seem to cause me any issues, and my cat allergy in general is very mild (according to the doctor’s office test I had years later, which pinpointed that I…

On The Catwalk

Posted on January 20, 2011 by BrassyDel

Yesterday we got only a small amount of snow, but the weather conditions were just perfect for Mother Nature to issue a big, laughing, one-finger gesture to all of the rush hour drivers in Boulder (which included The Hubbles). He stayed at a friend’s house, who lives about 5 minutes from The Hub’s work, and yet it still took over…

The Mysterious Meowing Lump

Posted on January 19, 2011 by BrassyDel

According to Clinton Kelly in his book Freaking Fabulous, Fabulous People make their beds every day. So, in my humble, ongoing efforts to not be a complete slob be fabulous, I’ve been trying to remember to make the bed. Well, it also theoretically helps reduce the amount of cat fur on my pillow. You may notice in the photo below…

Stop and Smell the Roses, Then Pee on Them

Posted on November 16, 2010 by BrassyDel

Having two dogs really puts their quirks in high contrast. Today we’re going to indulge in a little anthropomorphization of my dogs and compare their walking habits to, of course, forum posts. It’s pretty common knowledge that when dogs pee they’re also marking, so I figure it’s sort of like a post to all of the other doggies on the…

November Flurries

Posted on November 11, 2010 by BrassyDel

A couple days ago, we finally got our first snow of the season. Not that I would have minded waiting much longer for it, rather it’s just an oddity. Sometimes we get snowfall as early as September! Tuesday’s snow was basically a dusting, followed by more dusting today. It’s been snowing off and on since sometime last night, but the…

Tank’s Very Best Play Date EVAR

Posted on March 22, 2010 by BrassyDel

The Hubbles was out of town earlier this month, so Tank and Matti were invited up for a playdate with their Golden Retriever pal, Loki. I packed up the baby and both dogs, and off we went! My brother-in-law recently received a second hand playset and is in the process of putting it up. Currently, the slide is resting on…

Damien: the Feline Retrospective

Posted on January 12, 2010 by BrassyDel

August 9th, 2001: My boyfriend and I walked into the Human Society of Boulder Valley. Shortly thereafter, we left with a cardboard box containing what we would soon learn was the Best Cat Ever. Sure, he had a tooth rotting in his mouth and was unable to eat dry food, but that was quickly remedied at the Vet’s. When we…

More Fun than Texting

Posted on December 18, 2009 by BrassyDel

I’m a big fan of lolcats and loldogs, being a bit of a nerd. One of today’s grammatically-impaired, constitutively-adorable pooches is thus: I think the girl on the left might actually be fiddling with a camera, as opposed to texting, but the message is wonderful regardless. Many of us, in the US at least, do spend a lot of time…

I Think You Misplaced These, Mom. Here, Let Me Help You.

Posted on November 23, 2009 by BrassyDel

So the other day I was straightening up in our basement. I sought out every random, displaced throw blanket, folded them all up, and stacked them neatly on the corner of the couch. Shortly thereafter, I turned around and was greeted with this: Apparently, they were in his spot. He does look awfully comfy though, doesn’t he?
