its a love hate relationship

This photo pretty much sums up how Tina and Zoey's relationship started out. Tina was not a fan of our new addition.

Over the last few weeks, Tina has been coming around. One minute they might be fighting, but then they will be sleeping together the next minute.

Tina is for sure the queen of the house. She is also super sweet too. We are not sure of her exact age, but we are saying she is five years old and her birthday is....okay we haven't decided that yet. (we adopted her when she was a few years old)

Zoey is getting so big! She has grown quite a bit in the last few weeks, she now weighs in at 2lbs 14oz. If you look closely you might notice that she has a bit of a cross eye. lol Her nickname has become Little One, which we find ourselves calling her that more than Zoey.

meet zoey.

I would like to formally introduce you to the newest member of our family, Zoey. You might remember her from here.

She has come a long way since that fateful day she came to our doorstep and she has definitely warmed our hearts. She is a Siamese cross and as of yesterday she weighed in at a hefty 1lb and 1oz.

Zoey loves to talk . . .

. . . and find unique places to cuddle up.

She is not a fan of baths.

She has met Jack . . .

. . . and they became fast friends and playmates.

We are so happy to have this new addition and we hope some day Tina will be happy too.

funny kitten can't jump

One of my daily reads, written by Naomi, posted a funny animal video today. It reminded me of a video that I saw a little while back posted by Joanna. I thought it was so cute and I want to share it so you can enjoy it with me.

jack (and otis)

Today in the paper I read about a cute pet photo contest that would be starting next week. I instantly knew that I had to enter Jack. I mean, I have the cutest dog so it would only be natural for me to enter his photo. And don't worry, I am not a stage mom. I will only do this if he wants it too (which of course he does). The contest will be on Chattapets.com and I will be sure to remind you to vote once the contest starts :)

When I got home from work, I took Jack outside and figured this would be a great time to do his first photo shoot. He got a little bit restless and didn't want to stay still the whole time. I think I still got some adorable shots though. As an added bonus, Otis decided to peak out the window and join the photo shoot.

there are never enough days in a weekend

My cat Otis cracks me up. He will find the most random places to curl up and take a nap. Here he is on our towel shelf in our closet (which I should mention that our closet is supposed to be a no animal zone, but still they always seem to sneak in there). I totally felt like this today after work. I felt like I could have fallen asleep anywhere. I have been so exhausted from the mix of a busy week and being sick. I have not gotten much sleep the last couple of nights due to my constant need to blow my nose and cough, ugh.

So I would like to wish you all a wonderful and relaxing weekend! I hope I can hurry up and get over this bug so I can enjoy my weekend too.

printer's letter stand from anthropologie

I am forever looking for fun and different looking decor for my house (like here). I would love to eventually start some DIY projects, but until then I will depend on others to make things for me to buy :) When I saw this "C" stand at anthropologie, I was instantly attracted to it. I walked around the store for a little while before I told Jason that I just had to have it for our house. I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to put it, but once we got home, it found the perfect place on our mantel. I have already gotten compliments on it and even Tina approves. I just love this new addition.

cat nap

Tina taking a snooze on the couch

If there is one quality of a cat that I wish I had; it would be their ability to cat nap. They can get comfortable in almost any location and in almost any position - it's like an art! Cats have the ability to become refreshed after a short 5-10 minute nap, it doesn't really seem fair does it??

Lately, okay more than lately, it seems that I have just been so exhausted and could take a nap almost everyday. However, lately my naps are few and far between. It's crazy really because when we are kids and our parents force us to take a nap, it seems like the worst thing in the world, and now that I am grown I would give almost anything for someone to force me to take a nap. I think most often I would be good with a 20 minute power nap, but if I actually am able to get comfortable and fall asleep in the middle of the day (on the weekend, of course), three hours later I am awake and half my afternoon is gone. I can't win.

Does anybody else feel this way??
