Andrew affectionately named her “Princess Mittens.” Her big white paws and outgoing personality won us over immediately. Unfortunately her visit was short, but it was very sweet. One evening, as we sat watching T.V., I heard what I thought was a meow. I asked Andrew if he'd heard it too, then we both listened. Sure [...]
For a time I regretted naming her Grace. This is one of two cat tales that lead to the adoption of our own two kitties. Originally, we referred to her as Scruffy-Cat. She always looked a little disheveled. At first glance the darker markings on her face made her look like a feral street cat. [...]

Clearly I'm not on the ball with blogging. Scheduling isn't working well and I'm struggling to read and comment on posts. Today's planned post will be delivered, apparently, at 7:30PM (Pacific Time) instead of 7:30AM. You'll be getting two posts today. That settles it. I need a full stop from blogging. I guess I'll get [...]
