Just So You Know…I Write Just Because
Katie Cat won the day yesterday. She not only bugged me until I took her outside (with harness and leash), but later when I got up to fetch a glass of iced tea, she stole my chair…or at least the cushion. She has now adopted my computer chair cushion as the best place for her …Read More
