    • About Me

      I am retired from retail sales, I would love to swim with the dolphins. or deep sea dive what awesome things are in the ocean. My "happy place" is a cabin in the woods just communing with nature. I'm terrible at dealing with my own problems but any one needing a good ear to listen just let me know :)

      love the steelers, reading, peace and quiet of early morning, any well done music, old movies. Anything to do with nature, camping, boating, swimming. And not to be forgotten, NASCAR!

    • Hug

      From SFWriter July 13

      My daughter once gave me a kitten that fetched, too! I didn't have her for long, as I had to give her to a neighbor for a job transfer. Can't recall her name, but she was a cutie.

      I meant to tell you that my book on Amazon is called, Critters I Have Known...And Loved!

    • Hug

      From SFWriter July 12

      That's so neat about your cats. I had one named Luna, too. He was a tuxedo gray with white with half a mustache, very long haired and fluffy, maybe part Persian. When I got Luna I was told it was a female. When I took Luna "to get her spayed" the vet opened her up and found that it was a HIM! He was embarrassed; I was embarrassed. I had wondered why "she" was jumping my female cat! Luna survived all of the surgery without trauma. He got very huge and was so loving and sweet. He is gone now, along with Baby, my first NM cat, who was the smartest cat I ever knew. I now have Rosie and Cory, both little girls. Cory is still growing up and they finally have started playing together. Rosie is long haired, typical white and black. Cory is black with white socks and a perfect white heart on her chest! I first named her Corazon, Spanish for heart. Shortened it to Cory.
