It’s been more than three years since we welcomed Smidgen into the family. It wasn’t really our intent to keep her, but we never found out where she came from. And I think all was lost as soon as we gave her a name. (If you haven’t read the story of Smidgen’s Rescue, click here.) […]
Our Own Little Miracle Baby Smidgen is the last cat we brought into our family and it’s hard to believe she has been with us for over three years. Smidgen’s rescue is the most dramatic and, perhaps, the only true rescue of the lot. If I had not brought her home that morning, and nursed […]
Click Here to Watch The Video: “Once Again, It’s Maru: No Box Is Too Small” Maru is such an adorable cat. And Big! I wonder how a Scottish Fold would get along with the rest of the menagerie here, as my husband now wants one, since watching videos of Maru. This is a short video, […]

In this case, the wrapping is the clothes washer. As the clothes spin, the moving colors grab the cat’s attention though the window in […]
Click Here to Watch The Video: “Grin And Bare It: Denver’s Guilty Face.” Dogs, like children, react in many different ways when faced with the evidence of their misbehavior. Some deny it, pretending they have no idea what you’re talking about, looking up at you with big brown eyes of feigned innocence. Some run off […]
Angels We Have Heard On High I thought I’d share some of the photos I’ve taken of my Christmas Angels. After all, Christmas will be here before you know it, or at least before you’re ready. The truth is out. I like to collect things. And among the things I like to collect are Christmas […]
