  • Vincent’s “maintenance” plan

    Everything’s been fine with Vincent since his surgery. Apart from the 5 days of sneezing (it has stopped now), he’s as well as can be and is totally back to his old ways. This includes sentry duty at the gate and being “super-manja” to all visitors. His confidence is also back, 100%. Ginger is back…

  • BARF news: Detox or coincidental?

    I’m not sure if it’s a detoxing effect or it was just coincidental, but three of our cats had sneezing episodes recently. I did learn from the supplier, Coco&Joe, that BARF can sometimes initiate detoxification in the animals. It started with Vincent – he began sneezing, but not badly. But then again, Vincent had his…

  • A baby owl for a baby girl

    It’s owl season, folks! Here’s another owl order and this time it’s for a baby girl. For this owl, I used pink flannel. Handsewn, with help. Do you see Daffodil? She supervises.
