The couple who adopted her have been keeping in contact with me. Here she is in her new home. I am sure she is in a bit of whirl right now wondering what happened to her country life. But, I hope in a week or two, we will just be a distant memory in her […]
Yesterday, Mike and I drove to Washington. There, we met a really nice couple. He is a retired policeman and she is a stay at home gal who works with the police rescue squad. They lost their German shepherd, Spice over four years ago. We were letting them take a look at Lei and we […]
Meet Truman. Arrived last night, a dump job no less. Named after “Give em Hell Harry” President Truman’s nickname.
Woke up this morning to the horses in the orchard. The fence was shorting out, so while Mike mowed, I chopped down all the berries that were growing at the fence line. It took me over two hours to cut down the blackberries. I love the berries, but the bushes are so tenacious and they […]

In Dusty Rainbolt’s latest book, Ghost Cats, I share a story about a little calico feral kitty by the name of Calli (I know, original name) But Callie was a part of a litter that was born under my neighbor’s home (who detests cats). I talk about fetching out the mom Funny Face from […]
