RIP Squeaker
Pets (0)
My cat Squeaker died sometime last night. She was 13, so it wasn't a total surprise but she hadn't been sick or anything and was acting really normal before bed so it was a shock this morning when I woke up. Squeaker was a real sweetheart of a cat. She loved to eat and she loved to sit in her basket next to the food bowl. She died right next to both, which seemed sort of fitting. I had always felt that if Squeaker had been a person, she would have been a member of my board. She was an ...

Hearty Low Carb Chili for a Cold Day!
Pets, Recipes (2)
I just uploaded a video recipe for low carb Hearty Chicken Chili. It's getting colder out so it seemed like the perfect meal for today. I hate cold weather. I bought a big poofy coat today! For some reason, I always get hungrier in colder weather so I need meals that are heartier. If you're looking for more recipes (not necessarily low carb), check out http://www.recipesbymike.com. Mike's got a blog with recipes and cooking tips. He's also been nice enough to put my videos and a cookbook promo on his site, so go show him some love! In other news, my dog ...

R.I.P. Nermal
Pets (8)
Well, it finally happened. I came home from work and noticed Nermal didn't come into the kitchen to wait for me to give her food. As I walked down the hall, I was telling myself - be prepared, be prepared - because I knew it probably wouldn't be good. I found her in my bedroom laying with her mouth open. I first I thought she had died, but as I got closer I saw she was kind of gasping. That freaked me out. As soon as I started talking to her, she started convulsing. I wasn't prepared for that. I ...

Just a quick post
Pets (3)
I posted a new recipe video on the web site yesterday so check it out if you haven't already. Nermal hasn't been doing so well the past few days. Her energy is super low. She's still eating good but her tumor is huge now. She doesn't seem to be in pain but she just isn't getting around as well. I'm not sure how much longer she's going to last. It's been pretty upsetting coming to terms with this. So I'm around...just not very chatty at the moment.

Happy Howl-O-Ween!
Pets (1)
I just got back from the costume party thing at Petsmart. Chiquita did soooo good. She was a great peacock! There were so many cute costumes! There was a dachshund dressed like K-Fed in boxers and a wifebeater shirt and chains. There was an adorable lobster that made Chiquita very nervous. It was about her size so the lobster was really curious about Chiquita but Chiquita kept looking at me like why is this weird thing following me! There was even a cat dressed as Super Cat! Here's a picture of Chiquita and I. Their digital camera was having battery ...

Sad news
Pets (9)
I just found out my 11 year old cat Nermal has cancer and has about a month to live. She has two masses in her stomach and it's untreatable. She's acting pretty normal right now but she's lost a lot of weight already. She got a steroid shot today that is may shrink the mass a bit and give her a little more time but it's only a 50% chance of really helping and even then, it's not a cure, it just gives her a little more time. My vet said unless she shows a dramatic improvement, it's not really ...

Eating Low with Pets!
Pets (7)
Someone asked to see pics of all the animals so here they are - all 6 of them!This is Chiquita. She's currently on a prescription diet from the vet. Her starting weight was 10 lbs and her goal weight (according to the vet) is 6 lbs. She looooves the cats although she's very jealous (like most chihuahuas!). This is Mr. Kitty. He is always in charge. He tries to keep everyone and everything is line! He likes to supervise stuff. When the floor guy came to do an estimate on getting wood floors put in, Mr. Kitty sat in the ...
