    Cindy Bun

    Most of you won't be aware that my girl has not been well the last few weeks. I shared with a few people privately, and primarily via Facebook, where I could reach non-TCS people and TCS people, alike. But now my girl gets her Bridge thread. It started with peeing accidents, and seemed like a...

    Cindy, with her eyes open!!

    I was out in the garden earlier today, taking a few pics, and when I came in, camera still in hand, there was Cindy on the bed. She wasn't much amused by the flashy thing -- as usual -- so most of what I got was through slitted eyes. But she did favour me with one...

    Jade in Bloom

    Just wanted to show off my sweetie's current pride and joy. DH is the gardener in the family. At the moment, he is particularly pleased with one of his jade plants, which late last fall hinted that it might be interested in flowering. So he did a little research, and has been coddling it ever...

    Who says kitties don't smile?

    We were sitting on the back porch, sipping and nibbling. Both kitties appeared within seconds, and took up companionable posts. Looking at Fawn, Rob was compelled to comment, "Who says kitties don't smile?"...

    RIP Anonymous Kitty

    Last night we were coming home from a lovely dinner. We had given a friend a lift home, so were coming home by a different route than usual. It was around 11 pm and there was still a fair bit of traffic, and it seemed not to be moving very well. Then we saw what was slowing it down. The oncoming...

    Call it anthropomorphism if you like...

    ...but I really do believe Cindy apologized to me -- profusely. Cindy is the mushy one in our family, and she's definitely Mum's girl. But she's also a tortie, so the mush is on her terms, thank you very much. One of the things she especially likes is for me to sit on the edge of the bed...
