Farewell, sweet kitty

It is with much sadness and no surprise that we said goodbye to Bagheera this morning - he was one of the sweetest, most affectionate cats ever. He was about 9 or 10 years old, but was in very poor health - he never really recovered from missing his brother and best friend, Andy. Andy was stolen in 2017 . . . the thief only stole non-black cats, so Bagheera was left when his brother was taken. At first, he lost all of his fur, entirely stress-related according to our vet, and then developed kidney failure. Bagheera did have other cat friends - Mr. Boots and Merwyn - the three often sat on the window seat together, but in the end that couldn't make up for his lost brother. I held him last night and whispered that he should wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge - and that maybe his other brother, who died as a young kitten, would be there waiting for him.
Farewell, sweet Bagheera.

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our  Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The  sunlight in the tree  this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
