Just remembered I had a photo! Spring 2015. She left this baby possum in a pot out back and came to retrieve in the AM. I was working in the kitchen and saw her, popped out, called her, and took this. 2nd photo, another day - a noise down the drive stattled her, and she went into protect mode.

I lost my precious little Nola. I was blessed with 19 years of her love and beauty, constant companionship, amazing jumps, silly sleep methods, and our random chats. Trying to focus on all that goodness, but damn this pain is brutal.
Hug your kitties.

HBD, Hobbes!
My Nola turned 19 last month and now enjoys sunny days on the porch with me (and I cherish every second).

Never forget: On the evening of September 11, 2001, Donald Trump was interviewed on WWOR-TV and bragged that his building at 40 Wall Street WAS NOW the tallest in downtown Manhattan.

Don’t understand how it claims there was 1 word left, there were at least 2, my fourth and the solution.

There is no reasonable explanation, only magically and unethical thinking.

It is National American Eagle Day. This photo from the Audubon Society captures a feature of these truly magnificent creatures we don’t talk about enough, their feather trousers. 🦅

That f*ker also killed the Hortman family dog, Gilbert, a working service dog for a veteran.

Oh yes, the feline surveillance state is broad and long running. [Nola in 2011.]

The snow is back, but Jackie makes herself big enough to cover the chicks. It”s windy too, as the up feathers show.
