Thank you Kitty Brew, he is the sweetest boy.

Simon Bob Tail giving that look he gives right before he bunny kicks the hand that’s petting him.

It’s strange how we do that, isn’t it?

We watch our cat grow older and our first instinct is to calculate.
How many more birthdays.
How many more seasons.
How much time is left.

Meanwhile, your cat is stretched out beside you, completely unbothered by the future.

They don’t sit there wondering about years.
They care about whether you’re sitting down long enough to stay.
Whether your hand lingers.
Whether tonight feels safe and familiar.

Maybe we’re the only ones measuring time.

And maybe the wiser one in the room is the cat.

Some cats don’t come into our lives at the beginning.

Some arrive later.
Already grown.
Already carrying a past we’ll never fully know.

And yet… the bond can feel just as deep.

It doesn’t take a lifetime to change someone.
It doesn’t take forever to matter.

Sometimes a few years,
or even a short chapter,
can leave a mark that never fades.

Love isn’t measured by duration.
It’s measured by impact.

And some cats leave footprints that last long after their paws are gone

Just in case anyone is wondering Miss Precious Pumpkin, paralyzed from a bullet in her spine unable to urinate or defacate struggled but was determined to survive. With much, time, care, and expense she recovered all functions with only a slight hitch in her get a long. On the page several times she remained unchosen. Well that is over she is now a much loved, spoiled house baby. Yes it is in my house and she is living large.

And another day of mowing started with a blessing, I found my mowing hat. So I do not have to squint all day and look like I am grumpy and scare both grown ups, children, and fur babies that I might encounter. I am a old dinosaur, but I am a happy one, so no squinting and frowning for me today. Thank you Lord for finding my lost hat and a clean pair of socks this morning, blessings galore which I am thankful for. Now if I could find sometime to do my laundry as clean socks and granny panties are in short supply. YIKES.

I never stop admiring the beauty that surrounds The Sanctuary, like the afternoon sky I got to enjoy while mowing. I'm thankful for everyday I get to do this work, surrounded by God's never ending goodness and the glory of His creations.

Thank you Kitty Brew.

So many at risk babies recently surrendered, every rescue and sanctuary is brimming and struggling for space. Spay and neuter is the only answer.

And this is what you get when you have not been able to mow until the flooding receded and the ground dried. Almost a shame to mow it, would have been a fine hay cutting.

Well my phone put on a very impressive light show last night and then quickly died, not very old at all and I really was not wanting to buy a new one but I will have to find time to get the the phone store and get back in the communication zone. So if you reach out please know the only access I have to messenger is my laptop which does not fit in my back pocket while I work so it will probably be late tonight before I can respond. If you have an emergency please call the clniic 937 663 0015 and I will try to check messages.
