Taking care of the kitties

Izzy and Vinny, left and right. We had our first shifts taking care of the kitties. Terrific daughter Elisabeth had a work trip up north, and fantastic George Three decided to take a couple days to accompany her. My dear wife Karen and I were thrilled to run over to their house to fill the…

Ready for cat climbing

Work off the energy. Elisabeth and George think they’ve come up with a good way for Vinny and Izzy to keep from banging off the walls as they run this way and that. The two kitties seem to love the new living room climbing tower a lot! Good job putting it together, George.

Those darn cats

Holiday road … Over at Elisabeth and George’s house, new family members Izzy and Vinny (left to right) were quite happy to make the most of this holiday season. My how the rescue kitties have fit right in so quickly with their cute ways and daily learning.

Great morning for the rescue

Thank you, mom and dad. The big morning was special at our house for our cherished rescue mutt for sure. You bet Santa packs up gifts for Ellie to unpack herself. Yes, it’s yours! This year, she received her own animal fur throw to lie on in front of the fire. All are fake, sure,…

From sad to happy

Our dear grandcat Ava. The family said bye to sweet rescue cat Ava this season. Terrific daughter Elisabeth and wonderful partner George Three had shared their lives with her for nine years. Of course the trip over the rainbow bridge for a beloved pet is not easy. We all were so sad. Welcome, Vinny and…

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…

One happy cat when that day rolls around

What did I get this time? Elisabeth and George Three can have fun watching Ava’s reaction when the monthly cat box arrives. The rescue cat in our life is as enthralled with the delivery as rescue dog Ellie is with the Bark Box. Catnip involved? Now that’s a look of cat joy.
