My fellow mom friends would always remind me to enjoy every second of my pregnancy, even at the end when you feel like a whale, you’re super uncomfortable, and it feels like you’re dropping everything; dreading having to bend over and pick it up.

Snug as a Bug

I furr one, love this time of year! Unlike you silly humans, who get all excited about sweater weather, I look forward to snuggling under the blankets whenever I get a chance.

My middle name

My name is Otis, but when I’m in trouble (which hardly ever happens, except for when I jump up on the counter), my mom calls me Otis Joe. Why Joe? Well, My great grandpa’s real name (my mom’s grandpa) is Ronald, but as the story goes, furr no rhyme or reason Ronald’s grandfather called him […]
