FUZZY TIP

if we could have one more 1500 mile drive and camp out one more time in the wilderness in Montana.......sleep under the stars and listen to "hoot owls" and coyotes yipping. seeing bright red eyes,  in the underbrush, reflected from the campfire. drag up lots of wood to keep fire going all night. one more long talk about our lives together. say the things that we've wished we had said when we had the opportunity. drive to T.O's place on the rez in Utah. drive   off into a  Navajo dust devil and  i would come out on the other side alone. we never do get that goodbye  right.

MOMA'S LAST CHRISTMAS

Tippy and Moma had a bond like I've never seen before. He knew that she had had the strokes and she needed him to care for her.

TIM ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS HIS FATHER!

Tippy got after the folk art cat the first time he saw it. Mighty embarrassed when he realized it was not real.

I INTERUPTED MIKEE STALKING A BIRD

Mikee and Timmee came along the year before Tippy died. He tolerated them. Amsu was his "cat love".

PUPPY

I gave Puppy to my granddaughter and let me tell you that I miss her horribly. I thought it would just be like placing a foster dog with someone. Not. We had bonded enough that I'm still looking for her..Listening for her "pick me up" bark. "put me on sofa" bark. "i'm starving" bark.......

Bella is so proud of her. I told her that because she is 11 she will have Joan Jett when she leaves home for college. That she will always know that regardless of what happens, she will have her best friend to come home to. She called me yesterday and said "I think she loves me"...
