It's Our 14th Gotcha Day!

Today is a big day because we're celebrating 14 years as a family! We were pretty small when we were Gotcha'd back in 2006...

But although we're bigger, we're still just as cuddly!

And we even sorta kinda sometimes like our little sisfur Lexi so we let her hang out with us too...

We appreciate you stopping by on our Gotcha Day! We know we've been scarse around here but we're all doing well and hope you are too! 

Enjoy something special in our honor today!

Family Foto Friday

Mommy is moving pictures around and she put this one down at my eye level. I see my little sisfur, Angel and me. Boy, I'm tortilicious...

I also see our angel sisfur, Sadie at the beach...

And on her chair...

Mommy, I love these pictures. I think this should stay down here so I can see it...

These pictures makes me happy.

Hope your family has a happy Friday!

Everyone Needs Some Lovin'

This is an archive of a previous post I did earlier this year. I was just beginning to build up my blog at that time so I'm sure this is new to a lot of readers today. I like the topic so thought it would be nice to revisit it.

I once heard that everyone needs someone in their life to love whether it's family, friends or pets. Having some other living creature to care for makes all the difference. Many people have big families, lots of friends and several pets while others have small families, few friends and one or two pets. Even if someone has just one important person, or pet, in their life, happiness abounds. The quantity does not matter, it's the quality of those relationships that is meaningful.

As our cats, Angel and Isabella, are demonstrating, we may not get along all the time but we can still show compassion for each other (hopefully it's not while being squished in a cat bed by your little sister!) Don't forget to seek out and nurture relationships with the people, or pets, that you love and make you happy. Keep in contact with family and friends, volunteer in your community or adopt a pet from an animal shelter. Spread the love and reap the rewards!!

Family Visit

Later today my dad and stepmom will arrive for a visit from Kansas. (Yep, I'm a Kansan - born and raised in and around Topeka but being a huge chicken of tornadoes and thunderstorms, I moved away after college.) We've spent several days tidying up the house and now can only hope that our pets are on their best behavior this week.

I'll still be listing and keeping an eye on things in our shop but mostly this week I'll be doing the tourist stuff and will post pictures from our explorations around this beautiful state of Oregon. While we're on the coast, I'll pop into several beading stores that I frequent looking for more beads and findings (one can never have too many supplies!) so look for new items in our shop in the near future!
