Losing a Pet
Sorry it's been such a long time since my last post... Recently, our pet Robo Dwarf hamster, Dale, passed away. While this type of hamster usually lives for only 1-2 years, Dale was a part of our little family for 2 years and seven months! We feel very fortunate and honored to have had him in our lives.
It was very hard to accept that he was gone at first. No longer did we hear him rustling his bedding as he was waking up or the sound of his wheel spinning as fast as he could make that blue cylinder go. The room he occupied now felt empty. You might be saying, "why all the fuss over a hamster?" Well, Dale was one of our first pets (besides our goldfishes) that have been with us since college. My boyfriend and I attended separate colleges and had joint custody over him which meant, I would have him one month and my boyfriend would have him the next, etc. Dale was over at our parents houses after we graduated and was our room mate at our new apartment... We had a lot of history with that little guy.

Two Cats Are Better Than One
How could you bear to separate them? |
My friend gave me the following list that she found at the local Petsmart. Thought I'd share some great reasons on why you should adopt two cats instead of one. ALL cats listed are up for adoption and you can find more at Humanimal Connection =^_^=
-
- Having two or more cats enables you to enjoy the true social nature of cats and their relationships with each other.
- Cats who have a playmate tend to be more socially well-adjusted and avoid behavior problems like shyness, biting, hissing, being frightened and hiding in the company of people they don't know.

Humane Society of Silicon Valley Oohs and Awes
Whew! It has a been a busy few weeks, and more to come with Thanksgiving & Christmas! I hope you will all forgive us for not being able to keep up.
On that note, we attempted to start our Christmas shopping last weekend in Los Altos. We visited a European Lifestyle store called Maria's. The store is filled with fun antiques, dinnerware, bedding from France, England & Italy. We did not end up purchasing anything but did speak with the wonderful owner. Her two dogs, a Terrier and a white dog (perhaps a Maltese) were barking in Italian, greeting all who approached them as they guarded the cash register.
