The Pet Adventures Don’t Stop Yet

I’m still pretty sad about Madison not being around anymore.  Maybe this is typical in any death.  When I go upstairs I still expect to see Madison give me a meow greeting  I think Chloe is curious to where that other cat went to hide.  I mainly get teary these last few days when I...

Goodbye Madison, My 15 Year Old Persian Cat

Today was a very sad day for me as I had to put my 15 year old cat, Madison, down to sleep. For the last week or so, Madison hadn’t really eaten that much, nor had she really used the litter box.  She would still purr when I would hold her, but I could tell...

Please Tell Me When I’m An Idiot

WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I really feel dumb.  Every post I did on the Sulphur Butterflies we have in our backyard I have called them “Clouded” Sulphurs, not “Cloudless” Sulphurs. In the future, if anyone notices I post something that isn’t true or I’m being a knucklehead, please correct me.  I...
