Shortly after last week’s update, we decided Rossie was not adapting well in the dining room. She wasn’t letting us approach her. She didn’t want to be caught, so I opened the pocket doors and let her walk into the parlor on her own (the classic “me do” if you’re … Continue reading →
I’m torn. I don’t know how to share this effectively. I have heard so many stories about the positive effect of essential oils, yet, I’m prohibited from talking about healing capabilities of essential oils. There’s a good reason for that. I’m not a medical practitioner. I’m not even a trained … Continue reading →
It’s been a busy week for the Love Cats. First, the outside colony should be stable now. Boomer, sadly, has been humanely euthanized for FIV, but the rest of the news is positive. Amazingly, I was able to easily trap Nick and Zelda on Monday. Both passed their FIV tests. … Continue reading →
I’m well into the second year of the MasterKey experience. My MasterMind Partner and I are experimenting with making the program fit our lives without abandoning what got us to where we are today. Our Definite Major Purposes (DMPs) are manifesting in various ways. She’s making progress with her business, … Continue reading →
Today, I picked Boomer up and put him in a carrier and took him to Dr. Val’s. As I feared, Boomer tested positive for both Feline Leukemia and FIV. I appreciate he trusted me enough to allow me to get him where his suffering could be alleviated. After being far … Continue reading →

We never left, but our transcriber took off to parts unknown, and we had to wait for her to return. Rossie is in the dining room with Sneaky, and neither one of them is quite sure what to make of that situation, but they mostly ignore one another, and that’s … Continue reading →
I have much to be thankful and grateful for. My life has always been richly blessed, although I have not always acknowledged my many blessings. I sometimes chose to focus on small shortfalls and make them loom large. When I would catch myself doing so, I felt great shame, because … Continue reading →
We’ve been mostly out of town since September. San Antonio House: The lawn has been mowed. The Ranch: Picked up the game cameras. Hogs, raccoons, cardinals, blackbirds, opossum, one or two errant cows, yearling deer, a spotted fawn, and lots of bobcat sightings. The Store: It’s been too wet to … Continue reading →
Zelda’s kitten could mean quite a lot. In fact, it probably reaches even further than I think it might. I’m reasonably certain Sapphire is Zelda’s kitten. Nick is Zelda’s kitten. But today’s Zelda’s Kitten is a little girl six weeks old. I caught glimpses of her earlier in the week, … Continue reading →
