Cancer, Cats & Kayaking

September 20, 2018 By Amanda 7 Comments

Cancer, Cats & KayakingYesterday we received results of my stepdad’s (David) latest cancer biopsy. In 2016 he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, and now it’s more aggressive than ever – the current nodules in his lungs are positive for high-grade malignant metastatic prostate cancer.

Today our family cat, Ceto, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. On Tuesday we found out she had a 2-3 INCH tumor in her stomach. She’d basically been starving to death, so it was time for her to make her crossing.

Tomorrow I have a mammogram, at the age of 30. There’s a lump in my right breast. Breast cancer runs in my family.

So why am I sharing all of this incredibly personal information? Because this is life behind the glory of traveling, kayaking, and owning a business. This is the raw truth as of today, and I know everyone can relate to a piece of it.

Happy First Gotcha Day, Leila!

October 26, 2017 By Amanda 3 Comments

Gotcha DayMeesi. Bud. Buddy Pal. Meesa. Meesins. Siamese; these are all nicknames I’ve come up with in the last year of having Leila in my life. I think “Bud” is probably the most used, simply because my baby Siamese has transformed into my serious buddy. She’s my pal. I can’t believe it’s been a year since this girl blessed me with her presence. Over the span of this past year, I’ve come to believe that perhaps Leila was put in my life by way of my heart cat, Edison.

This post is sponsored by World’s Best Cat Litter™ and the BlogPaws® Pet Influencer Network™. I am being compensated to help share information about World’s Best Cat Litter’s brand new premium cat litter, Zero Mess™, but Dog Mom Days only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. World’s Best Cat Litter™ is not responsible for the content of this article.

I’ll never forget when I first started hearing about World’s Best Cat Litter™. All of the ads about this environmentally friendly cat litter reeled me in. The concept of a 99% dust-free litter with powerful odor control is extremely attractive to a mom of three rescue cats. I’ve had cats my entire life, and during all of my adult years as a cat mom I’ve struggled to find a litter that truly reduces odor and makes cleaning easier. Well, my friends, I’ve finally found a solution! World’s Best Cat Litter™ Zero Mess™ has changed the cleanup game in my house.

My Incredible Bond With Leila

July 9, 2017 By Amanda 3 Comments

my bond with LeilaAlmost exactly four years ago, my heart cat Edison ran away. I admit that I still haven’t fully gotten over the loss, and I’m not sure I ever will. But last year I finally found myself searching for another cat. I wanted to throw a kitten into the mix so I could raise him or her around my other animals. For a while I contemplated adopting a kitten from AAWL, my favorite animal rescue organization. Then one random Wednesday afternoon I saw a Facebook post from my friend Stephanie. A friend of hers had found a baby Siamese kitten (who had been rescued from a car engine bay) that needed a home. When I saw the photos, I knew she was the one. She was what I had been waiting so long for. Not even five hours later, Leila was home with me, and I fell in love instantly.
