Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Yup. We Fit.


Some heavy duty relaxing going on in the new cat bed.

Momma has an older friend and neighbor named Bob (62) who is dying today. He had brain cancer diagnosed 10 months ago. It has spread in the last couple months to his other organs and and this last week he has been slowly reaching toward his heavenly home. His wife of 41 years, Donna, a former nurse, says on CaringBridge, today is most likely the day his spirit will fly free.
Could you all take just a spare moment today to say a quick prayer for him as he leaves his earthly home and enters his heavenly forever home?
