Face rubs, anyone?

Back again today with a short video of Ruby. She absolutely loves it when you rub her face. All over.




I have a few photos I have to edit, but I'll try and get another post together soon. :)

I come bearing photos and videos!

Dexter recently got a haircut, as can be seen in some of these photos. Some are a little older that I don't think I've put on the blog yet, and then at the end are a few new videos! I got a new cellphone and it takes rather awesome photos as well as videos, so you can expect more to come, I'm sure!

Nope! No more studying for you.

I sweawr I wasn't going to eat him!

Testing out my new phone camera

Dexter sometimes puts himself in time-out....

Ruby doesn't look too stoked for picture time, but I can assure you she was a purr machine. 

I think he realized it was much colder outside now without fur....

Nose rubs from dad.

Ruby, sitting pretty.

Awwe yeaaah life is tough.

Phew, okay....

So I've got my camera working again. As an added bonus, I got a new cellphone that has a pretty awesome video camera on it. You can expect more frequent updates in the near future!

Ruby has an appointment with the Vet coming up this week to get her teeth cleaned. Send some good vibes her way for a quick and painless procedure!

Sorry that it's been so long!

Sorry that it has been so long since my last update, but I am just ordering a new lens for my camera today! Hopefully that will mean I am going to start posting again more frequently. I'll also be getting a new phone with better video recording capabilities soon, so I will try posting videos more often as well!

Until next time, here's a video of Dexter from the other day.

Kitties, kitties everywhere...

It has been a while since I last updated. A few things have happened since I last posted that have been setbacks to my postings.

First of all, the hard drive from my laptop has apparently died. We have tried quite a few things and eventually ended up removing it from the laptop, buying it it's own external casing, and hooking it up to our desktop. Despite (mainly Nigel's) efforts, all we can get is a clicking sound.

He then looked into how much data recovery costs, which was very disappointing news as well. After an initial 60$ or so fee, the cost can be into the thousands to retrieve lost data and the cost is based on the number of files that need to be recovered.

Anyway, what that means is that years (5?) of photos are now lost. Everything since I've owned a DSLR. All the originals, anyway.  As well as anything that I don't have uploaded somewhere. It's left me kind of devastated. 




Not too long after I realized that my hard drive died, my camera fell over and the lens is now jammed. I can still use it, but only zoomed in as far as it will go... It won't twist back the other direction. Now while it's still usable, this limits me to only being able to take photos in very good light. The shutter speed needed to take a nice photo in lower light when the lens is zoomed in is much greater. Additionally, I have to compensate my position for the camera constantly being fully zoomed. 


Basically I've been taking (poor quality) cell phone pictures of the cats. I have been trying to use Nigel's phone since it takes much better pictures, but when he's not around my cell phone is what I rely on, and it seems like the quality just keeps going downhill with it.


I will try to keep things as updated as possible with photos, even if it means posting cell phone shots. But until I get my camera lens either fixed or replaced, it's kind of just sad trying to use it.


Anyway, here's a few photos for now from before my camera fell over.




Oh Noes! Beheaded kitty!

Dexter is enjoying a new box.

He is so satisfied with himself.

Sorry that it's been so long!

It's been a while since I've made a post in here!
Poor Dexter's eyes have been acting up again. We took him to the vet to get some staining done and it doesn't look like there's any kind of abrasions or cuts on the eye. Waiting to hear back from an eye specialist that my vet contacted to see where to take it. For now we are just giving him ointment every 6 hours.






Other than that though the kitties are doing just fine. More pictures after the jump, click below!
