    Last week, we had to take Olive Oil to the vet to have her teeth cleaned. This was the second time in two weeks that we had to take her to the vet, and since she has anxiety, it’s a big deal. Taking her to the vet, or anywhere for that matter, is an ordeal,…

    So for a more light-hearted post, I want to tell you about our cat, Olive Oil. Yesterday was her birthday, so it just seems appropriate. Olive Oil is a DSH (domestic short-haired cat for non-cat people), grey and white tabby. She’s beautiful. Like seriously, she has a beautiful little face and those dark eye markings that…
