    Just drove past the work site. The whole road is full of orange barrels and cones. What a mess. Was hoping to see Blair maneuvering through all that. Can’t be easy. I couldn’t even tell where the entrance was. All those pre fab units stacked up 3-4 stories high. Still wrapped in cardboard. Instant Condos.$$$$$

    Parenting. . . can't offer much, never had my own. Have some ideas though, wouldn't go over well.

    This one, however - hasn't been seen since the first night they arrived. She turned up after all had gone to bed and ate and drank, but not seen since.

    Been with us 15+ years - it got hot lately, and I fear she is not coming back. My Buddy passed away 3 years ago about the same time, in the same heat.

    She was super spry for her age.

    Empty house around here, mood is a little low.

    She is a good looking little lady for her age. I sure hope she comes back. They sure make life better having them around. Really helps with stress and you don't even really know it until they are gone.

    When I worked out in the Oilfield I had a little outside kitty that we adopted and she was around for many years. I would do 21 days out in the field and take 7 days off at home. She never came back after I left once and guess she finally passed since she never left for more than a few hours. Called her Girly ha ha. She had something going on with her when she first showed up. Always had a twitch to her. Guessing she had some kind of brain damage or nerve damage from a really bad mite infection. I am pretty sure the old neighbors left her behind when I first bought that house. IMG_5332.JPG

    I am the same with my little fur babies. Rocco is my Pom and when home he is attached to me none stop. Have three kitties overall, The white cat tries his best to compete with Rocco for attention but gets beat up when he tries too hard. Ha Ha The other is an outside and inside kitty that doesn't ask for much, other than a place to eat and sleep. Outside he wants attention but inside he doesn't try much. The other is a kitty that I found last year all alone by a creek. He is the sweetest little guy and but respects Roccos first approach. He has his little spots in the house that he knows is his loving time away from everyone else. He seems to be very shy but more than anything I think he does it out of respect to Rocco letting him come into the home. He loves Rocco a lot and the other kitties. They get all the attention when I am home. Ha Ha

    I love cats too, I can't imagine life without a cat. I had to say goodbye to my beautiful loving companion last year. Milly was 14. I still miss her terribly. Bella looks after me now.
    “Almost every sight of a cat is like a paralyzing sunbeam, requiring immediate attention”... pretty much sums them up don't you think???.. :)
