Zuzu the Magnet
Curls swirl around her body like a constellation of stars. Her charisma creates its own gravity, drawing in unsuspecting strangers with her siren song. She’ll take on all comers, leaving them smitten and a little punch-drunk from the concentrated shot of mystical,...
King Tito
Of late, the home is a bit like a rudderless raft bouncing against the rocks of a slow-moving river. The rhythm of the day is just plain off without Tito to give it structure. And, let’s face it, without his strict directions on how to pace the day. The regime...
Call Me Catboy
Dear adopted Mom #27 I’ve been around the block. OK, around many, many blocks. And, I have to say you were one of the more challenging people to train. In the early days, you were late bringing your warm-hooded car home several times. You knew I relied on that for...

This Morning

Crooked Road
Long walks, a warm bed, cool water on a hot day. On top of all of that goodness I get praise, love and the best homemade treats, ever. My two-legged works from home most days so I get lots of time with her. This includes my favorite game, which is when Mom throws...
Southern Belles
What is it about South Carolina rescue dogs? Really, what are the odds that the two-legged owner would have scoured the Internet for dogs in need, on two separate occasions and found her dream dogs from the same state? Much less, that their forever home would be...
Trickster Marvin
The plan all along was to adopt the perfect tabby/tom in celebration of their new home. Being efficient parents, they visited the pound early and selected a cat. So as not to upset the new member, the two-leggeds delayed the adoption until the move was...
