Janet has been quietly and patiently trying to get me back to blogging so I’m going to give it another shot. I focused on a single hexie project for most of the last year (not making for great pictures) but this summer I started switching hexie projects every month and last month I returned to some machine sewing as well. Now I just need to get back in to picture taking.
We’ll start with the sad news…
After a short illness, my beloved Zorro died on 8/1/22, barely 2 months short of his 9th Gotcha Day. I didn’t have the heart to announce it anywhere online right away and then felt it would just be weird to do it later on. It was the first time in 30+ years that I didn’t have a cat in the house and it was incredibly lonely for the longest time. I’ve never picked a cat, always adopting strays, so I had a lot of time to think about what kind of cats I would seek when the time was right…
Luckily I didn’t have to wait long because here’s the happy news!
My
Gotcha Day was 9/13/22 but I showed up on Momma’s porch at the end of August.
Someday I’ll tell you how she crawled across the grass to try to pet me for
the first time.
My
hobbies include being quiet as a mouse, always holding Momma’s paw with my own,
playing greeting committee to all that come to our house, sleeping on Momma’s
lap, bird watching, chasing/wrestling my little sissy and making lotsa biscuits!
I’m
no longer afraid of … the kitchen ceiling fan!
Hi! My name is Holly and I’m a 5 month old polydactyl dilute tabico with dichroic eyes!
My
Gotcha Day is 9/20/22 and I’m the second calico that Momma has rescued from behind
the liquor store next to her office. Someday I’ll tell you how hard I tried not
to be rescued cuz people are scary.
My hobbies include playing with toys in the tub, chasing a
mysterious red light, sounding like a herd of elephants while I run at full
speed, looking out all the windows and chasing/wrestling my
brother. I run my own business called the Calico Dusting Service while I get
behind and under every appliance or piece of furniture.
I’m no longer afraid of … Momma!
Oh so sad to hear that lovely Zorro is no longer with us...I know he had a great life though...
ReplyDeleteNice that you now have two new feline friends in Mouse and Holly;)))
Happy that you are back here blogging--I've missed your posts..
hugs, Julierose
So thrilled to see you are back!! Thought of you when we were in the ADK in August and a short hop in September. Was hoping and praying you were not sick. So sad about Zorro, he lived a good life with you. Two cats is the way to go. My guy, Tugger, is 13 and failing. Most days he sleeps and has lost so much weight. I have been to the vet numerous times and we have tried antibiotics and special ($$$) food. He is comfortable but on low gear. He has been such an alpha male, I haven't been able to bring another cat to live here. Would love to see your hexies.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sarah, I am SO happy to see you back! I hope you are happy to be here. Wish I could be there to take pictures for you so you always had something to post. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear the news about Zorro! I had followed your journey with him from the beginning, and it was a heartwarming one. You gave him love and a place to call home, and he kept us entertained.
And what fun companions you have added to the household! I love that you take in the strays. Mouse and Holly will keep you on your toes, and let you know who is running things, right?
Tears for the sad news, and smiles for the happy news. So sorry to hear about Zorro. I'm glad to see two new household members have found you. I will look forward to reading the adventures of Holly and Mouse.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you back at blogging, thought about you from time to time and was a little worried.
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear about Zorro's passing, but I know he had a good life with you, and I'm sure he sent those two rascals along to keep his momma company! Mouse and Holly are very cute and I'm hoping to hear about loads of their future adventures.
I will miss Zorro. RIP. I’m sure Holly & Mouse will keep you on your toes and entertained. Glad to see you back.
