Going on a retreat

I’ll be back soon. But it’s nice to be back around, if only for two weeks. :)

That article in 2007 is the reason I found this place

Not the one about the cats, though I do enjoy the company of the beasts.

My links are broken,

but Normandy, the 2nd cat in that post, was just put down last month. :( She was 18-1/2. A lovely companion.

We’re down to one now, and it’s the psycho one.

If anyone needs more cats

We work with a local animal rescue. We have 5 kittens that we are currently fostering in my place and i’d be more than happy to release them into someone else’s loving home. I’ll even make the trip down to Maryland to deliver them.
