A Puppy & Spasian

Let’s start off with this site. I know it’s been a while but life has been busy throwing bullshit at me and I haven’t had time to breathe. I know that I got rid of my social media a long time ago. However, I’m still on Instagram (you have to request to follow me). I also brought back my LinkedIn. Then I made a TikTok for my dogs.

Yes, I said dogs. Meet Butch Odin Adams. As of today, he’s 20 lbs. of adorable.

On the ride home from the breeder.

Giving Cammie puppy dog eyes – we’re all suckers for it.

One of many weird expressions on his face while he sleeps.

The puppy dog eyes – again.

He’s also like Carter who prefers to be carried around everywhere.

The cutest blep.

The best part…he and Carter are best of friends.

Having 2 dogs have been nothing but pure joy. It’s double the reason to leave the house and enjoy them. Butch has also gotten potty training down. He is such a sweetheart but he’s also not scared of anything.

I can’t wait to watch both of them grow up together. My heart still feels empty from losing Ginger but I know that she would want me to be happy.

Hubert

I’m not trying to replace Bob. But it’s always been 2 cats for me. A week or so after Bob passed away, I started looking for cats in rescue. I didn’t have any luck with them because they never got back to me or they were too far away.

So I searched. And searched. And applied. Applied some more. I figured why not go straight to the shelter’s website and see what I might find.

I saw a black kitty that I wanted named Leo. I applied for him and within 48 hours, I was asked to submit some paperwork. I submitted the paperwork then they scheduled me to meet Leo at the shelter for Sunday, March 21. I took Cammie with me because well…she likes cats, too. So we got to the shelter and the coordinator introduced us to Leo. He was hiding under some blankets and just looked so confused. He didn’t want to come out and didn’t care too much for Cammie and me. Meanwhile, another cat was meowing his little heart out around the corner. He had been meowing since we walked in.

So we visited the cat around the corner and he was trying to escape his cage. It hit me right there that he was meant to be my cat. The coordinator opened his cage door and he walked right up to me to be petted. Even though I was there for a different cat, another cat chose me.

Everyone, meet Hubert. Hubs or Bertie for short.

He’s around 4 years old and according to the vet, a bit chunky.

They Definitely Come In Threes

Months passed by after Ginger died. Then on August of 2020, my friend Felicia died. Later on, Bob would pass away.

Felicia’s death was a surprise as she was only 39 years old. She would’ve been 40 on September 3rd. She had suffered some kind of brain bleeding. She was recovering until she suffered a heart attack which killed her. I met Felicia at an old job and we hit it off right away. I considered her as one of my best friends. She was really a joy to be around. Felicia was always smiling and she always had a positive attitude about things. It’s unfortunate that the good die young because the world could use a lot more good nowadays.

Fast forward to Carter’s 1st birthday…on January 18, 2021. It was a good day. I even dressed up the dog in a birthday bandana and a party hat. Unbeknownst to me that my old man cat passed away upstairs under my bed. When I found him, I was hysterical. Bob was around 12-13 years old when he died. We had a good 10 years together. So yeah, my cat died. We buried him in the backyard. He was a good cat…very clingy. But he showed me every day how much he loved me.

I haven’t yet found another cat. I still have Suki who is doing great. But it doesn’t feel right to just have one cat because as far as I can remember, I’ve always had 2 cats. I did apply for a male black kitty at the shelter and I submitted the required items so I’m just waiting to hear back from the shelter. His name is Leo but I plan on changing his name if I do end up taking him home.

I know I haven’t posted since last year but even though we’ve surpassed one year of the lockdown, work has gotten busier (which is a good thing). I will try to post more since I got a new MacBook Pro. And it’s beautiful (yay stimulus money).

I will also be open for freelancing again. I just need to find new clients.
