Happy cat sitting

Thank you, grandpa. When terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance George take a well-deserved winter vacation, I gladly volunteer for cat duty. They have an automated feeder, so that pretty much relegates me to going over a couple times a day to make sure her water dishes are full and empty the litter box. But…

Good day, sunshine

Hey, we have a yard! Terrific daughter Elisabeth noticed wonderful rescue cat Ava eying George Three doing some cleanup work off the back deck. Definite inside-cat Ava was curious about their new great outdoors? What if, Elisabeth figured … Let me back in! Nobody thinks escape routes are being planned. Knock on wood.

Why did you bring the darn dog?

High as she can climb. My dear wife Karen and I decided it was time to pack our cherished rescue dog Ellie B into the car for the mile drive down the road so she can see where Elisabeth and George Three now live. Of course, that means she had to say hello to beloved…

I looked at their hutch that houses their widescreen TV, thought of the chubby rescue cat that now greets me with…

Elisabeth texted me reaction photos for at least an hour. Immersible present. Yes, Ava decided to climb right into her gift at one…

Happy holiday for Ava

Grand cat Ava particularly enjoyed this moving Christmas gift, terrific daughter Elisabeth had to share in her text photo. I smiled and chuckled for the happy moment.

Love your graphics

I never know what might be attached to the texts from my terrific daughter Ellisabeth. What an artist. I don’t quite know if I shouldtoadmire her cat Ava or pity her for this particular pose … Admission: My first reaction was a big laugh.

When you bring your pets to work

The email from the Syracuse Mets said this season’s cut-outs were ready for pick-up at their NBT Bank Stadium offices. I took the short trip after a library shift on Monday and picked up the replica of our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B and Elisabeth and George Three’s rescue cat Ava. Instead of riding in…
