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…

Warm-up art: Creamsicle

Posted on December 29, 2009 by BrassyDel

I did some traditional inking today, mostly trying to get back into practice. Today’s offering is my (adorable) perpetual kitten, Creamsicle. Before you wonder what the heck is going on with those paws, I’ll mention that he’s polydactyly. This real-life cat has 7 toes on each front paw, and 5 on each back paw (for a grand total of 6…

Creamsicle: soft, cuddly, toe-riffic. And evil.

Puppy Progress

Posted on April 14, 2009 by BrassyDel

The bed retraining seems to be pretty much complete. It went a lot easier than I feared, with only the first few nights of actively removing doggies from the bed. I think part of the success has been Tank’s “new bed” though. We’re moving some furniture around to set up the baby’s room, and the extra bed is now going…

Make a Joyful Noise

Posted on April 11, 2009 by BrassyDel

It’s late at night. The “puppies” are in their own beds. Kitten is off causing trouble somewhere, probably harassing Damien. Willis is lightly snoring by our heads. The house is quiet and I’m drifting off to sleep. Thbbbbbbbbbbppppppt! Yup. Into every peaceful night a little dog butt must pass. Gas. Having dogs is a lot like having a husband, actually….

No More Puppies Sleepin’ on the Bed!

Posted on April 7, 2009 by BrassyDel

Feel free to sing the title to yourself to the tune of “No More Monkies Jumpin’ on the Bed!” A little less than a week ago we agreed to retrain the dogs to sleep on their own beds. It all started on night, around 5 in the morning, when I absolutely could not sleep. Hubby was on his side of…

My Little Miracle is Sitting on My Bladder

Posted on March 29, 2009 by BrassyDel

Being pregnant means a lot of changes and new experiences. At 7 months now, I’m feeling rather… ungainly. For example, walking both dogs at once is certainly not as easy as it used to be. Tank weighs about 75 pounds and is a certified Muscle-Butt. Matti is pushing 80 pounds these days, and he’s not as strong as Tank but…

Kitty Clocks

Posted on March 9, 2009 by BrassyDel

Sunday we had to “spring forward” and change the clocks, but don’t ask me if that makes it standard time now or daylight savings time. The interesting thing is that even though there was an overnight shift between what the sun says and what the clock says, the cats have not missed a beat. Either cats can read the clock,…
