Welcome home, Ocean of Oshire Cattery and now our darling “Fleur Delacour”. 🌹 Yesterday (10/18/2023) we drove to the airport and picked up baby Fleur. She’s a beautiful 5-month old British Shorthair that won us over in less than 24 hours! I’m in awe of her beauty, her confidence, and her acceptance of our attention…

I remember the joy and excitement I felt after putting the finishing touches to The Daily Pagerie website. It’s bittersweet because I’ve always wanted to have an online shop.

My first Black Friday as a dog parent was nothing short of an adrenalin rush. The last two weeks of November saw an explosive number of product launches, sales, and marketing emails that it was difficult sticking to wish lists and budgets. We survived those crazy weeks, thankfully, and snagged some really good deals in…

I looked over at Windy, who I just tucked inside her travel crate. I didn’t utter a sound. I kept movements as subtle as possible. She’s been awake since 5 in the morning. I didn’t take her on her usual early morning walk; instead, she got to romp with her Corgi brother, Brooklyn, have some…

Life threw a couple of really nasty curve balls over the weekend, leaving me crying, throwing tantrums, and just feeling absolutely down to the ground. It took many days before I can finally start filling this space again. But knowing that I’ve made myself promise to write more, I thought it best to break things…
