Pedro
Pedro, another RAL foster, came to our home towards the end of February 2024. He was pulled from an area shelter and already had a microchip! It turns out he’d been adopted as a kitten, went missing shortly after, and the old owners didn’t want him back. That’s a shame because Pedro is an awesome…

Sparks, Ginny, & Velvet
I’ve been slacking on this update. These three cuties joined our home on December 1, 2023. All 3 were pretty shy, but Velvet was straight terrified of humans.

I did this a few years ago (in 2018) and it was a lot of fun to reflect on the year we’d had by listing things out. So without further ado, here’s a list of things we did/accomplished/ experienced in 2023 in absolutely no sensical order.

Meet Liberty, Skye, and Everest – all named after female members of the Paw Patrol, of course! These were the first photos I took of them upon intake: Clearly it did not…

A Quick Trip to National Harbor, MD
After being home for nearly a month, clearly I was itching for another trip (this is sarcasm) so in mid-August I packed my brand new suitcase and headed up to the Washington DC area for WordCamp US. If you’re not familiar, WordCamps happen all over the globe and you can learn a lot about what…

Spidey, Ghost Spider, & Spin
After my trip to Pittsburgh mid-summer, I was home for a day or so before RAL contacted me about a small litter of kittens needing a place to crash for a few weeks. The best thing about fostering is that it works around my travel schedule which this year… has been quite a lot! There…

Picklefest (and my team meetup) in Pittsburgh
My team at work, Grogu, went on our annual meetup – to Pittsburgh! We spent a majority of our week together in the South Side Flats which is just South the Monongahela River and current home to Fred Rogers Productions nostalgia. Although we spent a lot of the week working together in-person, a rare thing for…
