Our Sweet Leo...

 We lost our sweet Leo March 5th, 2025.  We miss his sweet personality and adorable face!  He was such a good natured and laid-back kitty.  We had to be his doormen; letting him in and out many times throughout the day.  He liked to curl up just as close as he could get to me to sleep.  He was such a blessing in our lives!  We miss him!  Our sweet little Swirly Tabby!

He actually came here for two years to visit and eat before he came here to stay.  We called him "Big Head", as he had such a large head for such a small body.  When he came here to stay for good, he got all the food he wanted all the time, so he gained weight and grew into a full sized cat.  He was such a sweetheart!

Teddy...

 Hello.  Hope you are doing well!  Here is a card I created using the image "Teddy" from Anne's Digital Art.  It is the February image for The Outlawz Progressive Image Challenge.  The sentiment I used is from Beccy's Place from a digital set "My Heart".  I used Gina Marie Pleated Lace Rectangle dies, Momento Hexagon dies, washi tape, Staedtler Color Pencils, and The Paper Studio card base.  I made the mint background using photo paper, spray glue and an ink pad.  I made the pink background using homemade alcohol inks from dried up markers.  I hope you like my card!

Another Tiger...

 Hello.  Here is another card I made using the Stamp "The Courageous Tiger" from For the Love of Stamping by Hunky Dory.  I was testing out different black inks, so I stamped out multiples with this stamp.  I water colored the image.  I guess I was in the mood to make animal cards!  :)

 Hello again!  Made another card using a different stamp from "For the Love of Stamps by Honkydory". This stamp is called "Peaceful Pandas".  This card was also water colored.  I made this card especially for my niece's birthday, as she loves Pandas!  I hope you like my card!

Heaven got a very special angel...

 Heaven got a very special angel on May 21st, 2024.  We lost our baby P.J..  We think he was around fifteen.  He made it almost a year after starting to have the spells he had.  I don't know why it has taken me so long to post this; I guess it just wasn't easy.  He was one of the best cats we'd ever had.  He was my little Pooh Bear.  We went ahead that day and made the decision, as he wasn't eating, drinking or using the litter box. That part seemed to happen fast.  We think he was starting to shut down, and we didn't want him to suffer.  It was hard, because he fussed some on the way and at the vets, and it broke my heart.  The vet and the tech told us we did the right thing.  We don't have emergency vets in our city anymore, so you can't take them in after hours. It went smoothly and very quickly; the vet said he was ready to go.  He had told us he was dehydrated, etc..  We buried him just a little ways a way from where Smokey is buried.  We buried him with some of his toys that he loved.  I still need to order him a marker.  I'm thinking I'll order one for Smokey too, as the marker that is at his spot doesn't have his name on it.  

I'll have to share in another post P.J.'s story and some of our memories.  He was so vocal and quite the character at times, but also so sweet!!!  I sometimes called him a gentle giant.

Have you met Nipsy???

 I cannot believe that I have not already told you about Nipsy!  She came to live with us this past year.  She had been our neighbor's grandkid's cat, but when they moved out, they did not take her with them, as they had to move to an apartment that doesn't take pets.  She had already been visiting us frequently, and would come inside and hang out with us.  She liked our male cat Leo, and would hang with him too.   She is so shiny and pretty, and has some Siamese in her.  You can tell it from her eyes (And her personality!).   Or should I say Purrsonality?  lol...  She has attitude for days, and she says " I do what I want to do!"  But she is very sweet and loving also, and a real joy to have in our lives!
