Almost four weeks ago our doggy, Sandy, was euthanized.  Two weeks
later our snake, Li'l Critter, died.  Yesterday we took our kitty,
Speckles, to the vet as she hadn't eaten well for a couple of days.

We have just had a whopper of a hail storm -- hail starting small then
getting to be like marbles.  This was followed by torrential rain.  The

colony - and I can still see them in my mind.  There were some adults,

I've mentioned before about how we feed some neighborhood strays in
addition to our own indoor crew. Shorty and Calicat have been regular
visitors, with Calicat dropping by every morning and evening for food and
pets. For the last month or so we've been seeing a new visitor - a ...

Scouty just came and climbed onto my lap ALL BY HERSELF! She's never
done that before in all her born days - she hates being picked up and
