Seeing these chickens at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair on Saturday made me very sad. I’m pretty much immune to the gelatinous blobs that go to the fair, the rude and obnoxious people that ride transit and other every day crap, but this really bummed me out. Like being a chicken at a traveling petting […]

Good night, fair ratty
By Caitlin Jane in kittyI always scream when I almost step on a dead animal. It happens more often than you’d think, in a big city. Last week it was a tiny finch on the sidewalk, this week a junior rat. I came upon her very near the red squirrel I found over a year ago. The restaurant on […]

Poor fishie
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, kittyThe pet store near work…sucks. In the sense that ALL pet stores suck, they sell kitties that you could get free from a neighbour (or adopt at a shelter), puppies bred at puppy mills and lizards from who knows where. Not to mention exotic birds that have no business being in Canada (or a cage) […]

Brr.
By Caitlin Jane in kittyAs I already told Laura, I am having an all-choked-up sort of day and these 2 fellows patiently waiting their master inside the grocery store really captured my mood. The lighter coloured dog has a funny sort of lumpy head that at first I thought was snow piling up. It’s -6C here, pretty chilly. They […]

Happy family
By Caitlin Jane in kitty, loveI love that I got all three of the girls in one picture. They were all chilling out together last night and the camera flash didn’t seem to bother them at all. Unlike the red laser pointer that makes them all go crazy. Sorry about that. I told the women at my (last) quilting class […]

The winter blechs
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, Griping, kittyDog owners. You know, the main reason I don’t have a dog is because there’s no way in HELL I would ever pick up dog crap. I know that somehow it would get on me, under my nails or a skid down my sleeve that would go unnoticed. And I think that a lot of […]

Phone
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, kitty, Old crapI got a new phone the other day. My old, crappy phone was no longer holding a charge so it felt like time to trade up for something half decent. Half decent, she says? Ok, I got an iphone. And guess what! I LOVE IT!!! It takes great pictures on top of everything. And while […]

Whatever the opposite of gorgeousness is
By Caitlin Jane in kittyShannon and Ari were watching some documentary about animals on the verge (as in, the last one in the world) of exctinction and paused it at this screen shot. Lord. I stared at this for half an hour while he made dinner. Never has the name Turdy been more appropriate. It’s not a caption, it’s […]

Salmon=Success
By Caitlin Jane in food, kittyThe gravlax I mentioned the other day was unwrapped, rinsed, sliced and eaten. Not entirely, no, that would be crazy, but we ate about a quarter of it. A lot. The only thing I would do differently-next time I make it and there will be a next time-is to use actual Kosher salt rather than […]
