We just got back from taking Stormy and Juno for their first vet visit here in Winthrop. They were vaccinated at the Humane Society, but not for rabies, and we just wanted them to have a “well kitty” visit and establish some records with our local vet. We were informed that Juno is probably a [...]

Mister and His Sister

I can’t believe I have been back from Orcas Island for a week already. While I was gone, Rick reported that the new cats were getting along well and playing a lot. They seem to be firm friends by now: Spinning camp, or fiber retreat, was a lot of fun as always. The theme was [...]
Introducing Juno and Stormy
Posted in pets, Uncategorized on February 5, 2012 | 2 Comments »
This is an update from an email I sent to family and friends yesterday. It has been almost a year since we lost our 18-year-old gray cat, Pushkin, and then last August our 12-year-old Bengal cat, Teasel. We decided to try being “cat-free” since it does simplify life, at least as far as taking both [...]
Goodbye, old friend

I am only posting this because I know there are a few friends and family out there who will want to know that we said goodbye to our cat Pushkin last week. The last couple of weeks he was obviously failing, and we just knew it was time. Me and Pushkin in 1994 – both [...]
Weaving Marathon

Yesterday was a 12-hour weaving day – winding warps, tie on to the previous warp, wind on, weave weave weave the next piece for the wall-hangings I am doing for the show at Confluence Gallery. I felted the first one on Wednesday and it turned out OK! I was so uncertain it was even going [...]
Beautiful Snow
Posted in home life, pets on January 14, 2011 | 2 Comments »
We had the predicted big snowfall a couple of days ago. We had at least a foot of new snow here at the house, and it was snowing hard when we got up Wednesday morning. It is almost up to the bottom of the Loki sculpture: and here’s the buildup on the carport roof and [...]
Last Post for 2010
Posted in family & friends, Methow Valley, pets, weaving on December 31, 2010 | 3 Comments »
We returned from 6 days on the Coast last Sunday, and our dear friends who are currently living in Southern California joined us here for 3 nights before heading back south. We celebrated a 59th birthday: They brought their 2 new cats, Tatti (a Maine Coon, still an adolescent and a big, sweet girl) and [...]
Not Quite Dead Yet

A subtext to the ongoing life saga around here, the last couple of weeks, has been the illness of our elderly cat, Pushkin. We know he has kidney issues, and has been picky about food for quite a while, but all of a sudden he pretty much stopped eating and drinking. I took him in [...]
Alfred, Lord Venison

Just a quick post with a picture of Rick’s “pet” deer, Alfred. He gets a name only because we can easily tell him apart from the other guys – he has 2 prongs on one antler, and 3 prongs on the other. He was hanging out in the shade by our house the other day, [...]
Escapee

It’s been an upsetting couple of days around here, but all is well now. We went over to the coast for the weekend and as it turned out, our little Bengal cat, Teasel, got outside while we were packing the car etc. We didn’t find out until Saturday night when we checked our voice mail [...]
