Eight years ago today I started this blog. Initially it was mostly about my art and there were some cats thrown in; most notably Ms. Stella who made her first appearence May 18th with this artsy fartsy photo op
Eventually as these things are won't to do, there were more posts about cats and it became clear that they needed their own space. So the Art portion was moved to my professional blog
Over this past eight years we've adopted cats, had them adopted out (The Bengal Rescue) and sadly, oh so sadly; seen a few over The Bridge. We've made tons of furriends! Shared our beloved's antics, their attitudes and idiosyncrasies. And they in turn have shared ours.
It is my hope to continue to chronicle Ms. Stella's journey (she's 18 in March!) and the journeys of Miss Jack and her sister That Scrappie Cat who are both 13, Miss Jenga who is 14 and our two Boi Toi's Ollie & Clyde who are just 1 year old big giant babies each. (Clyde's birthday is March as well though I know for a fact that Ms. Stella has no intention on sharing her special birthday... "Oh, what's that Stell?" Oh forgive me, Birth MONTH with any other kitty no matter how boneless or cute.
So, in the words of the immortal Dr.
ALLONZI!
And thank you all for reading, commenting & lurking alike!
Well, very many congratulations on 8 years of blogging! We had not idea Stella and Miss Jenga That Scrappie Cat and Miss Jack were such senior kitties, since they have "young" blog voices via the stories we read here. We will keep coming back for more as long as you write!

And as for you..you too are our hero around her because of your talent and compassion and love for your family both the Gurl and the furbabies. Happy Blogaversary and thank you for being here for us.
ReplyDeleteI used to watercolor too and blundered thru doing it as I hadn't any idea how though some of my works were (barely) creditable. The poppy will be gorgeous!! Loved seeing the steps you have gone through so far.
