Not long ago, I welcomed Marq to our service department. After 11 months, Marq opted to saddle up and ride into the sunset, accepting a different challenge in his life. Since then, two people have “revolved” through the dispatcher position (the second not even staying long enough to warm up my chair). After a self-sniff…
Continue ReadingChange. Not my favorite thing (unless I’m finding it between the couch seat cushions), but sometimes it’s a necessary part of life. And while it is usually painful, change can often produce extremely positive results. That brings me to some recent changes in the office at Day Heating. Starting in September, Luke began transitioning from…
Continue ReadingI know it’s been a while since I’ve imparted wisdom – they finally found my hiding spot and set me in front of the keyboard again. I almost made it an entire year without having to work for my treats! As a cat, I have extensive knowledge and experience on a wide variety of subjects.…
Continue ReadingRecycling has been working its way into being a buzz word for the last two generations, but I want you to know that cats have been recycling for thousands of years. Nothing on the planet can recycle loose pelt hair into hair balls faster than a feline! Coming in at a close second to me…

I realize that this feeling does not make me unique – on the contrary, this bandwagon is squatting under the weight (literally) of those who have hopped on. But I believe I may have a…
Continue ReadingThe Pacific Northwest has a lot to offer – ocean beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes and a climate that’s perfectly suited to maximizing the performance of a heat pump. While there are many types of heat pump units, the two most common types are ducted and ductless. Ducted heat pumps have been around for over 60…
Continue ReadingIt’s with mixed emotions that I say goodbye to Jenny – sad because Jenny has been my Mamma since I arrived at Day Heating four years ago. She cooked for me (okay, she opened the can and fed me), she cleaned up after me and she entertained me (nobody can toss a kitty treat onto…
Continue ReadingNow that my taxes are all filed and I’ve given the government my pound of flesh (Hey! No fat jokes!), I’m back in the saddle (or basket, if you will – see my profile picture). And fair warning to the IRS – if you even think about auditing me, I’ll give a whole new meaning…
Continue ReadingI think it’s definitely time to share some more feline wisdom. If I go too long, you may go into withdrawal, and we wouldn’t want that to happen! As I was taking a bath the other day (I guess I’m kind of like Timex – I take a “licking” and keep on ticking), I was…
