Jessie is 12 years old today

How can it be 12 years already since we brought our little girl home?

Happy Birthday, sweet one. Mommy and Daddy and your sisters and brothers love you.

Cats just love to get in the silliest positions and make it look so natural.

Chaz hasn't quite mastered the concept of "hiding"

Happy Mother's Day!

Even if your kids have 4 legs and fur like mine - Happy Mother's Day. My furkids gave me and John unconditional love and hours of pleasure. I don't know how I would have made it through this last year without mine by my side.
When I cry, they are right beside me trying their best to make me better. The days I want to pull the covers over my head and never get up, they are right there pushing me to move. True, they are motivated by food but it helps when you have to think of someone other than yourself. They have truly been a lifesaver to me. 

We have baby quail again

Momma quail has returned once again to nest in our planter box on the deck.
This weekend the babies hatched. She has about 15 of them. They are the cutest things. She gets upset if I get too close but I was able to get a picture of one of them this morning. You have to look closely. Baby is well camouflaged. Click on the picture to enlarge it. You'll see an arrow pointing to him.
