Marcie and I in happier times. Ie this morning. Last seen defending puppies from the invading hordes. If you've seen her alive, please let me know. I'm worried. Had to run into the Sev for some last minute supplies. Only had time to grab this as the zombies were shuffling after me. Overturned vehicles! Flashing lights! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU! I floored it and ran them all over. Soon, I was out of the burbs and into the boonies. The weather is grey, the zombies are still ... Read more »

Giveaway: Iams Cat Pack
As we all know, cats are our friends. When the bad stuff goes down, you want a cat on your side. One, they'll warn you when a flesh eater approaches (of course they will. Because if you die, who's going to feed them?) And two, if worse comes to worse, they'll take them out themselves. Cats hate zombies. Haven't you seen Pet Sematary? Bottom line: Keep your cat happy and fed, especially when zombies are about. Because you do NOT want a zombie cat. To help you in this, Iams has donated not ... Read more »
Batten down the hatches- here it comes!
I knew when I woke up to grey, angry skies that I was in for a morning and a half. Something just felt off, a strange electric charge in the air, if you will. I promised I would spend the morning sharing pet healthcare tips at the Helen Woodward Animal Center Hope Telethon, something I was happy to do. I had my lines prepared, my makeup done. I was there with Mike Arms and Marcie Grube and all the wonderful people who make that facility a success, chatting with the reporter, and having a ... Read more »
T-20 to the blogpocalypse!
The skies are getting grey here in San Diego. Police helicopters are hovering overhead. I'm pretty sure things are coming to a head here. I have a crossbow. I have my computer. I'm ready. Are you? See you tomorrow...if we survive. Blogpocalypse is coming! Be there...or be lunch! Thank you to Generation Vet for the awesome logo! ... Read more »
Have you hugged a vet today?
Whenever someone makes a reference to vets, I have to step back for a minute and look at the context. Are they talking about veterinarians or veterans? I am a veterinarian living in a military town, so in my world, it's 50/50. What an honor to share a name with this group, though, isn't it? This weekend is my big blogathon, my biggest fundraiser of the year. I'm going to spend the night at a big cat sanctuary and have fun and shenanigans and post a bunch of stuff and hopefully help out a ... Read more »
Blogpocalypse Countdown
Hello, I have a logo now. I can't stand how awesome it is. A huge thank you to the talented Phillip Barnes at Generation Vet for making this for me! And I'm so glad I have it, because I've had a headache for two days, and I think it's my zombie sensor kicking in. I have a feeling I'm going to need that crossbow. BE PREPARED. Ahem. May I introduce to you the 2011 Blogpocalypse Survival Team? These are the diehards who are keeping watch all night with me on Saturday when things are going ... Read more »
Insomniac
I have had the worst insomnia lately. I don't know what the deal is. I lay awake, totally exhausted and ready to die, but my eyes betray me and snap open and there I lay, till 1, till 2, looking at the ceiling and thinking about nothing and everything. I suppose this will bode well for me this weekend, this whole no sleeping thing, but for now, it stinks. Because I'm the zombie. Although I'm awake, I'm useless. I thought I would try to continue the Africa recaps for you but 1. I'm in St. ... Read more »
Blogpocalypse Survival Guide
I have it from trusted sources that the blogpocalypse is happening THIS WEEKEND. There is not much time to prepare. Are you ready? I found a crossbow, so there's a start. High in the hills east of suburban San Diego, a 90 acre refuge awaits those seeking respite from the impending zombie masses. Tip 1: It's good to be surrounded by giant carnivores. They may look comfortable and content on their custom hammocks made out of recycled fire hoses, but give them a zombie and ... Read more »
Faith in humanity, restored
Among one's many obligations as parent to a school-aged child is that most universal of school experiences, chaperoning a school field trip. My number got called this week, when my second grader's class went to the zoo. She of course volunteered me, assuming- correctly- that this was the sort of thing I was up for (as opposed to the kindergarten trip to Sea World), and for the most part I was happy to do it. Until I heard it was going to be raining. Now, laugh all you want, but we San ... Read more »
The Blogpocalypse is coming!
Blogathon 2011 starts in ONE WEEK. That means I have one week to catch up on sleep before I throw it all away on yet another ill-advised all nighter yammering on about whatever in the hopes someone will be listening long enough to toss a few pennies my way. And by "my way", I mean of course this year's beneficiary, San Diego sanctuary Lions, Tigers, and Bears. They've been first to offer help whenever it's needed in the US, be it the Oklahoma circus bears, offering space for animals ... Read more »
