Cat Bed Follow Up

A couple posts ago, I wrote how I was happy that Milly had stopped sleeping on OUR bed and had instead returned to her bed.
Well, Mango apparently got jealous, because I woke up one morning and found this:

Never mind the fact that Mango has her own bed that she really likes on the other side of the room.  Cat's bed MUST be better, even though it takes about 12 circles for Mango to get in it.

Brady likes food

Our friends' dog Brady is food obsessed.  This is usually a problem, as he comes in the house and swallows all of Mango's and Milly's food instantly.  But when you spill an entire cup of Raisin Bran on your hotel room floor, Brady's services come in very handy.  (Don't worry, I picked up the raisins, he just ate the bran part.)

Cat bed

When we first got Milly, she was so crazy during the night that we had to shut her in the bathroom so she wouldn't jump on our faces all night long.  Unfortunately she figured out how to open the door.  Finally we gave in and tried letting her sleep on our bed part of the night, and when she started going crazy we'd put her in the bathroom, which got later and later....  3am...4am...5am.... until finally she could mostly sleep through the night.
So she had been sleeping on our bed until I went to see an ENT last week.  He didn't tell me NOT to let the cat on the bed, but it was easy to infer.  Cat dander is bad stuff that sticks to everything and stays airborn much longer than dog dander.
I thought I would be in for a battle with Milly. But I put her cat bed (which she had all but stopped using) on top of the dresser, and she loves it! She even goes in there to sleep during the day.

But she has also reverted to jumping on our faces at 6am.  This morning I woke to her jumping over me like a sheep.   Tradeoffs.

Bazaar Bizarre show tomorrow- first one!

Hi everyone, 
Well, I'm finally ready to launch the collars and leashes I've been working on!  Rockhound Pets finally exists as a business.   Come see me tomorrow at San Mateo Bazaar Bizarre.  I'm psyched to get started.  Mango and Milly are equally thrilled.

I don't want to offend anyone, but....

Who does this? 

Pouty Mango

Mango is such a drama queen.  I'm on the floor, working on my computer, and she was nuzzling me- managed to give me a big kiss square on my chin, then another one right into my armpit.  Alex wanted her to calm down, so he gave her a "Mango, go on!"  Mango looked up forlornly, then moped out of the room, looking back over her shoulder.  But she wasn't able to keep it up; as soon as we started laughing at her, she came trotting right back to us. 
By the way, I entered Mango in 7x7 Magazine's Cutest Dog contest.

Do you think she has a shot?

Where did January go?

I looked at my blog and realized my last post was December!  How are we already almost to March 2011? 
Well, I suppose it went fast because I was working (like real, paying jobs for a change).  During January I contracted for a month at my old job at Gap, covering for someone on a long vacation.  Then in February, I went to work with my family at the Tucson Gem Show, followed by 4 days of shopping.  Boy was that fun/trouble.  But I did find some cool stuff to make cool stuff with.  SO!  Now I must get to work. 

Check http://www.rockhoundpets.com/ in the next few days- I will be adding ID tags and collar charms, so you can finally adorn your pet, not just hang your purse.   Though I have more bag hangers to add also.

Happy February!
