Dear NRA. I think you suck.

But there is really only one fact that makes such violence comprehensible: This man woke up in a country in which virtually anyone can purchase weapons -- with little more effort than is required to put gasoline in the tank of their car -- that give them the power to murder people.

Dogs need PT too

Milton Junior

Milton died today.  My special cat.  A female orange tabby (only 1 in 50 orange tabbies are female) I was fortunate enough to bottle raise with a litter of kittens 14 years ago.

For her entire 14 years, Miltie was the sweetest most loving cat on the planet and only tipped the scales at 6 lbs, kind of like an eternal kitten.  

She loved everyone and everything equally and always had a purr and a head bump and a snuggle for anyone or anything who came close to her.  I will miss her terribly and I wish I could cancel Thanksgiving because even though I give thanks to have spent 14 years with her I am not feeling much like celebrating this week.

This is Milton.  

There are some more nice words about and photos of Miltie here.

If you ever want a tangible reminder of your current age, dig out a 22-year-old photo of you and your horse when he was just a few days old.

He's still as cute as ever.  Good boy, Intrepid!

New goat

This is Fiona. She's Lucky, Trinket & Chloe's new pal. Her pal died and she was lonely so she came to live with us.
