Now that I’m finally able to shelter in place like a good Texan (what a week it’s been until now), I decided today would be a good day to mow as much grass/weeds as possible. In preparation for this, I checked the mower at the store yesterday. Yes, I’d put … Continue reading →
You probably saw my last post about Zelda, and that we hadn’t seen her for several weeks and had finally concluded the worst. I am delighted to report we were WRONG. Zelda is alive and well even if she is more avoidant than before. This makes my heart sing, and … Continue reading →
I have not seen Zelda for two months. My neighbor has not seen her for a month. Tuesday night my neighbor messaged me, “Unfortunately, I am beginning to believe Zelda ran out of lives. I am sad.” I am sad, too. Even though Zelda would not allow us to handle … Continue reading →
I could say not a lot has happened since my last post, but that’s not quite true. Ajax is successfully buried and we speak of him fondly from time to time. Mr. L had a good father-daughter trip to Pennsylvania. Shortly after he returned, I experienced something both odd and … Continue reading →
Our “Old Man” Ajax is no longer with us. We knew he was in early kidney failure earlier this year. He’s been getting thinner and thinner. Two days ago, I decided to try to get a little weight back on him. I opened a can of food, but he just … Continue reading →

The kittens and I went to Belton yesterday for the 4th Annual Pet Adoption Extravaganza, sponsored by Rescue Magazine. This was a marvelous event. Milam Touch of Love’s booth was back-to-back with the Rockdale ACO’s booth, so we worked together. Rockdale brought six dogs, and they were adopted within the … Continue reading →
I haven’t done a good job of updating lately. At the end of July, I found myself in a fostering situation for a mama cat and her four weaned kittens. For those of you counting at home, you know that means 16 cats in the house, three outside, a dog, … Continue reading →
Rossie has been living in the downstairs bathroom since we returned from Pennsylvania back in October. We started with Rossie, Sapphire, and Daisy in there, but Sapphire and Daisy regressed, so we returned them to the household population, where they are active and visible. About the time we put Sapphire … Continue reading →
