Wonderful story!
Love this Cotton thanks for posting it!
Slept 4 hours
Went to get a piece of cheese n son told me Panther has another mouse. This one larger n older than first 3 we found, which i guess are juveniles.
Up at 6:30 . Leave at 7 for dermatology at 8
I traced this to a facebook account...is that you ?
Oh Spunky.
I’m sorry to hear that your son is still struggling. My goodness, it’s never easy, is it? Has he still stayed away from the cigarettes, or is he back on them? I hate to say it but his wife doesn’t come across as being terribly helpful to him. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but they could be supporting each other in the no-smoking department.
Well, I’m glad that wasn’t you in that picture! Looks awful - was the driver injured very badly. I see the garage certainly was!
Glad the squirrels are back! It takes time for the little yellow finches to come about, but if you have the other ones, I’ll bet you see the little yellow ones soon. They’re so cute. There’s also a little bright blue one we get here now and then, but not often.
Maybe getting the paints out and starting up again will help elevate you a little. I’ll bet you could turn out some sweet little bird paintings. My friend’s daughter does them and they’re quite cute. She paints any bird you like on a little 4” x 4” white canvas, which then stands on a little black painting pedestal. I have 4 of them. Very cute.
I hope your son improves soon - that’s very difficult to endure.
Great story, CB. Thanks for posting.
Just had a 55 minute drive to 8 :AM Derm appt! Through hectic work traffic- 52/40/Hanes Mall area. Whew
Unfortunately the appointment is TOMORROW 🙀
A practice run I didn’t need
Sigh
Oh no! What a shame they couldn’t squeeze you in.
I asked. Doc was in surgery all day
Oh no, I stole it!
I should have prefaced the story that way, but I was lazy.
I’ve always loved tabby’s. I think it’s the M on the forehead. But the stripes are also pretty. I’ve always wanted a red Tabby and have never gotten one. I don’t typically search out my animals, they just show up.
But when I had a mama red Tabby that I rescued and she had a flame point kitten, I just had to keep the kitten. She’s like a red tabby siamese, where they normally have the brown they have the red tabby stripes. I kept her because she has Vision problems, she has strabismus just like I do. And I was worried about the kind of home she would get, she definitely needs to be inside without a lot of activity your children, and limited furniture moving. Sometimes I’ll forget and leave the step stool out in the kitchen and she runs into it, poor baby.
I would have loved to kept the mother but she was a pistol. Tiny tiny little girl. One eye. I had surgery done to close her eye so she was winking all the time. She was fighting her space sutures so she had to wear a recovery suit, I got her a red tiger striped one. She was adorable. But this tiny one-eyed girl would go around the house and Corner my big cats! Even my big male that’s 13 lb. She would Corner him and he would be terrified. So she couldn’t stay. Feisty little Autumn. I sent her and another rescue kitten to a wonderful rescue in connecticut, they are so picky on the homes and charge a fortune. And everybody I’ve been able to contact via Facebook that got a kitten is very responsive and sends me birthday pictures. Only Autumn and one kitten from my first litter, maverick, did I not get to find out where they went. The people didn’t post their pictures, must have been shy. I pray they got good homes too.
good steal
The country’s getting cleaned up, one thing at a time. I’m so proud of Trump.
Just took 2,5 hr nap. Saving many of the pix for future sharing. Thanks!
Aww, look at that little face! My husband used to say if people had past lives that I was a cat in one of them. Never really asked what he meant, but I hope it was a compliment, lol.
I like Elon. I hope they’re in cahoots deeply.
I laughed at this.....
