Saturday Health Update | Welcome to Luna’s Adoptiversary Week

The lights are warmer in the Den this week. The floors louder with paws. Luna’s second Adoptiversary has arrived, and while today may technically be a Saturday Health Update, make no mistake: This …

The Crippled Cryptid.

The dog knew first. 🐾
Before the diagnosis. Before the words.

Some stories are older than medicine.

🌿 On Familiars, Fetches, and the Dogs Who Know

Before Luna ever learned how to alert- she knew. Before I had language for what my body was doing, she was already listening to it. If this were an old story, no one would question it. They would j…

The Crippled Cryptid.

She wasn’t supposed to be mine.
Just a post. Just a maybe.

But she chose me anyway- and never stopped listening. 🐾💜

Cryptid Dispatch: The Dog Who Chose Me First

The floors got louder before I understood why. Before I knew what she was trying to tell me. Before I trusted my own body— I trusted her. She wasn’t supposed to be mine. Not really. Just another po…

The Crippled Cryptid.

One year ago today we got our amazing kitties: Doc Cochran and Alma, the Widow Garret! They have brought all the chaos we expected and even more sweetness and snuggles than we dared hope.

When we brought them home, shy Doc was very intent on hiding in safe places, while his curious sister explored and called him if she found something really important. (More often, he called her back to cuddle!)

She is still the leader, and they still love each other very much!

Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today we adopted a pair of cats. We could only take one of them home with us though. The other had a couple of medical boxes to check off so she needed to stay at the shelter a few extra days.

The two cats were a mother and a kitten. The mother was about two years old and the kitten was 4-5 months old. The mother’s name was Disco and the kitten’s name was Boogie. We changed their names when we got them home. Disco became Robin. Boogie became Lily.

It was decided that their official adoptiversaries would be celebrated as the day they came home. That means today is Robin’s adoptiversary. Happy adoptiversary, Miss Robin Sparkles.

Disco at the shelter when we saw her for the first time…

Robin hiding under the vanity in the bathroom shortly after she came home with us. She spent the first couple of days hiding. She had just been fixed so we figured she was a little extra traumatized by the whole experience.
