An Old Bird Spreads Her Wings
Well, I did it. I boldly stepped in to the scariest part of the 21st century thus far. I tweeted. I’m following, I’m being followed (well, by a few people) and I’m working on #whatsupwithhashtags. It’s been an eventful afternoon. I’m … Continue reading

A Balanced Diet
You know, you do everything you can for your cats. Teach them right from wrong, nurture their little dreams and convince them they can be anything they want in life as long as it’s a cat. But sometimes, no matter … Continue reading
