Photo: Waiting for Santa
Floyd and Delta are waiting for Santa. Floyd, Delta, Rossie, Ruby, Natasha, Tarzan, Lady, and Ajax join Alan and me in wishing you a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Save

I think Lady is playing with the kittens more than she’s batting them about with her paw. I’m not absolutely certain, but I think it. Tarzan and Natasha are doing fine. I was concerned about Ajax. He’s been vomiting a lot. Daily for the last week. I took him to … Continue reading →
December Property Update
The bulk of this month’s work has been at the shop. We’ve had some drainage issues, and one solution is to replace a single tube downspout with a double tube downspout, effectively doubling the volume of water which can be whisked off the roof of the building. Here are some … Continue reading →
MGR: Favorite Books of 2012
Welcome to my final installment of the Merry Go Round Blog Tour for 2012. We get to end on a light note by talking about my favorite books for 2012. For some reason, 2012 has been my worse year for reading since I began tracking what I was reading several … Continue reading →
Cats: A Little Late

Photo: Archeological Dig
We’re redoing the drainage system from the roof at the shop. In the process, we have the ongoing archeological dig as we create small canals to channel water coming down the downspouts from behind the building to the street. I’ll show pictures of what we’re doing on the Property Update … Continue reading →
Cats: Socializing Ferals
Last weekend, we had Pretty Boy Floyd here at the house and his sister in quarantine at the vet’s for biting the staff during her initial visit. We now have the entire litter captured. Thanks to Tammy for providing the real Pretty Boy Floyd’s sisters’ names. I decided to use … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 24: 50,020/50,000 — DONE!
Yes, I managed to cross the 50k finish line tonight. Once again, I am a NaNo winner.

Pretty Boy Floyd is the latest kitty in the feral kitty saga. I captured him the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 20th. I got him transferred to a carrier the next morning, and I took him in to get examined and initial shots. I already know he’s too young to … Continue reading →
