She’s probably around 6-7 months – she’s a feral rescue, born under our friends’ porch. She’s a cutie!

I am grateful for modern technology that allows me to keep in touch with family near and far through email and texting. I am even more grateful for my smartphone. I’ve had one for three years and it has proven invaluable.

I never thought I would see a day when the cat was my preferred pet, over the dogs, but I imagine, the cat never thought there would come a time when he would rather hang out with me, than the girls at the house.
