be a better cat owner (read all 2 entries…)

Luther was watching Blazer (the dog) very carefully this weekend, so I had Blazer do the “up up!” command, where he rears up on his hind legs with his front paws off the ground. I had Luther sit, then tempted him with a treat and said, “Up up!” And up he went! Thanks to Blazer for being a good dog and helping to train his feline counterpart.

On the other hand, Luther is getting quite the belly (he’s a very, very long cat—my girlfriend says he could “play linebacker in kitty football.”) I’ve already put him on reduced-fat food, but it might make sense to scale back the quantity as well.

Doin’ well here. There has been extended-family drama since last week, and I’ve stayed level and tried to help my mom through it. Joe Cool would be proud (although I lack the snazzy sunglasses).



take better care of my teeth (read all 2 entries…)

Still strong on this one. Mouthwash and floss are regular actors in the toothbrushing tableau, and I’m drinking less coffee so hopefully there will be less stains as well. Yay!
