Decisions, decisions

My heart was broken/stolen (?) when I delivered the Knit4Charities kitten blankets to the RSPCA today. I saw a cat there who is the image of our Madison - and the same breed. He is 9 years and 9 months old and was pleading for a cuddle which of course he got. He climbed up the front of his cage to 'talk' to me and when the lady got him out for me to hold, his purr was so loud and enthusiastic I thought he was going to gag. I am so torn - I'd love to rescue him but don't know how our girl would feel with another cat in the house. This poor fellow's owners, an elderly couple had to move into a retirement village and were not allowed to take their beloved pet. Isn't this a shocking thing when you think about it? Pets are so good for elderly people - they are their 'babies' and I believe research has proven that older people do much better if they have a pet.

Here's Pixel - isn't he gorgeous?


I have another great recipe for you but will post it later tonight.

A few of my favourite things

Its now time to learn how to add pictures. Here's a close-up of that 100% alpaca neck-warmer ......... this one's for me !!





I really should introduce a couple of the furkids - here's our Devon Rex, Madison when she was just six weeks old. Look at those beautiful blue eyes - she won't have them for long though as they'll change colour as she gets a little older.

and this is Madison all grown up. She was shown until she gained her Triple Grand Championship and then was allowed to retire and enjoy the contents of the pantry which is probably her favourite passtime.

Here's our little Tasha - she really thought we got that little bed especially for her ... oh well !! If you want to see more of our beautiful Japanese Chins, have a look at my daughter's website

There's got to be an easier way to do this picture thing - I'll finish this post now and check the help section.

Till next time .....
