Binary Blonde

I’m not really into the whole “purebred” pet concept, but seriously, how cute is this beagle?

His name is “Uno” and he won “Best in Show” last night!

Apparently, this is the first time a beagle has one the title for almost 100 years, according to MSNBC:

The only dog consistently listed among America’s most popular breeds for nearly 100 years, a beagle had never won in the 100 times Westminster picked a winner. That changed when judge J. Donald Jones pointed to this nearly 3-year-old package of personality.

Uno was numero uno, beating out two perfect poodles, a top Sealyham terrier, a sleek Weimaraner, a lively Australian shepherd and a sprightly Akita.

When I was in school training for my veterinary technician degree, I had an assignment to go to a dog show. It was actually pretty interesting, but I doubt I’ll go to one again. 😉

Cute kitten paws make it all better!

We have three wonderful cats, and while they are nice to each other most of the time, they do have their “sibling moments.” Lately, they’ve been fighting… over the only cat bed in the house. It’s the weirdest thing.

See, I purchased the cat bed (it’s purple and donut-shaped) for Celeste back in 2002 when I adopted her. Later, after I adopted Kanji and Noni, they never seemed interested in it, so I figured there was some sort of unspoken rule that it was Celeste’s bed.

For some odd reason, within the last few days, they’ve been punking each other by sleeping in it and swatting anyone else that comes near. Poor Celeste has been left wondering what the heck happened to her bed, so I figured it was time to get beds for all three of them.

Tonight, Kevin and I went to PetSmart and I picked out three matching beds. They looked cute and super soft, so I figured they’d love them. Though, I had a nagging feeling that they might be too small for our large cats (not fat, just tall and long!). Our plan was to put only one of them down and see if they fit.

Celeste was the first to try it out and I’m not sure it’s the best fit. What do you think?

Yeah.. I’m thinking it’s a good thing we kept the receipt!
