Griffin Is Such A Handsome Love Boy!

Here are a couple of recent photos of Griffin. I've had him for around 7 weeks now, since adopting him from the local shelter. He is adjusting to his new home very well. He is slowly but surely learning the number one rule: The Cat Is Always Right! (Unless it's the neighbor's naughty cat, Simba, who is generally wrong.)

Gamma Crosses Over

My beloved Gamma, the oldest of my cats, has crossed over to the other side of the veil.  She had been sick for quite some time, but still seemed to be enjoying life, until just a few days ago.  I took her to the vet on Friday and she was given that final shot, given release.  Gams and I had been together for around 16 years, and she was a grand old kitty.  The name I originally gave her, all those years ago, when she first found me, was Blessing.  And she certainly was a blessing in my life.  I love you, Gams.

After Gamma left, the veterinary clinic I take all my pets to, Salazar Road Veterinary Clinic, in Taos, NM, sent me a condolence card, which you can see below.  Everyone who works there signed it.  How thoughtful, even though it did make me get all weepy in the post office.  If you are in the Taos area and need a vet, I can recommend the group over on Salazar Road.
