Lest we forget....

Happy Birthday Gwyneth!!!

That's right...you may think today is special because it's the autumnal equinox. But really it's special because it's Gwyn's birthday! She's four. Maybe. When she was playing this morning I asked her if she wasn't just two or so :D We do love her. I asked her this week what in the world one gets a greyhound who has everything...including a kitten! We didn't really come up with a good answer. We're just treating her like royalty today. (As opposed to all those other days....) She doesn't know it, but we'll break out a peanut butter Frosty Paws tonight. Happy Birthday you sweet girl!

Blog Takeover (or Horse Hacking)

Solana here. Technology is a wonderful thing. Why with a wifi hotspot a horse like me can take over Mom's blog!

She really needed a nudge to be reminded that horses need equal representation on the blog too!

These are more of the pix that wonderful Frazz guy took of me!

I can be funny:

Nah Nah!

And again I say, Nah Nah!

I'm even beautiful with only one ear!

Mom keeps talking about how much the kitten has grown...what about me?

Solana and her dam, Nottea, day one

Solana week one

But back to Frazz...he got great shots of me and my digs. Whether coming or going, dressed up or not, I love where I live and who I live with!

Hard to Leave Home, part 2

Have I mentioned it's hard to leave home? I could so easily become a hermit!

In Memoriam

Oz

February 16, 2000 - July 1, 2012

You're never prepared. While Oz had been having some medical issues, we really thought medication and food adjustments were going to be enough. You're never prepared to lose a furbaby. As my friend told me: "They steal your heart on the first day and break it on the last." He's right.

Oz & Willow were such little kitties when we brought them home on LoML's birthday 12 years ago!

So hard to believe he's not with us any more...time will tell...so far Willow seems to be hanging in there okay, but it's weird. 

All of the pix in this post are courtesy of J. Frazz Photography. We're so glad that he was able to photograph all the kids when he was here! He got beautiful pix....and he captured cute moments like these:

 

Did you know their mouths would open that wide in a yawn?!?

I know folks who say they'll never "have another" after losing a pet...they'll "never go through that again". While I respect that that's a valid response for some people, I personally would never want to miss the joy and the love that animals give us so freely. Not one minute of it.
