Kitty Pong

E and the cats found a new game today. They named it Kitty Pong. They were animated and vocal about something (probably all the chaos in the house, today). E decided that after one meowed, he’d walk to the other one until she meowed. He did this back and forth with them a few times […]

Turtleor Finally Fully Named

As some of you know, we all have four names. As of today, Turtleor has earned the last piece that makes her name complete. Turtleor Testudines Houdini Luza She’s become quite the little escape artist—and those nose dives from the kitchen window to the sink can’t be fun!—so we are seeking a larger space for […]

Purrrrrl Is a Smart Kitty

Lately, E has been having football withdrawl, so he’s been playing his Madden game at the computer. Because he anticipated that the noise would be bothersome while I’m working, he’s been wearing his headphones. (Yes, he really is that considerate….but most of you knew that, already.) Purrrrrl has figured out that the headphones means he […]

Turtleor Has Lunch

We adopted this Red-eared Slider at our annual Luza Family Easter Camping Trip. For the first few days, he was too freaked out to eat (as far as we could tell, anyway). Yesterday, I got to see him eat for the first time. Today, he’s had both breakfast and lunch while I try to figure […]

Sosta’s Eye

We have to say goodbye….

We have had to say goodbye today to our middle kitty, Mitad. (This comes just two days after a friend of our’s had to do the same thing.) This is very sudden as E only took her to the vet this morning. It’s also a surprise for both us and the vet as Mitad is […]

Holiday Tech for Pets

This collection of pet gadgets cracks me UP. My favorite: ” Digital camera for dogs Now, even the baby has his own digital camera, so the only member of the family without one is the dog. And what dog lover isn’t curious about how the world looks from their dog’s point of view? This .35 […]

Indigo’s new home

Thanks to Michelle of True Blue animal rescue, Indigo found a new home with her friend Christina and her son Matthew. We met them at the dog park last night. We talked about Indi’s habits and quirks. Matthew played with Indi and saw him interact with other dogs. After a while, they felt they could […]
