Tramaine is not going to be talking here for a while. I must tell you that he is a mythical character something like Garfield. Now, back to why we have not been on this blog for a while. After our Kitty died in December, we thought that things would eventually smooth out. It was a difficult time but we knew that we could manage without crying every day…after a while. We had just gotten to that point in our grief when, unexpectedly, our beloved Jaz died in February. She was almost 14 years old, a Shi Tzu/Poodle combo, solid black and incredibly lovable.

Before I was married, she was my friend and my companion. I told her everything. She was so sympathetic….as long as I gave her the treats in my hand. When I got married, she adopted my husband as if he had been here all the time. In fact, she started going to him for her meals. It was great.

But she had heart trouble. We did know that she was having problems for some time. She had started getting blind, she had arthritis too. However, she was doing fine even with those problems. Then one day toward the end of Feb. she started having more problems, not eating right, going to the bathroom much more, then not able to. When we took her to the doctor, she said that Jaz was going into heart failure. It was affecting many things. She died on Feb. 27th, almost two months to the day from when Kitty died. Our sorrow has been great.

And yet, God in His wisdom, saw fit to present us with a new bundle of joy. See, our Gizmo, black and white cat I usually use for an icon picture, was not taking the loss of both of his friends very well. He walked around the house like he was lost. And he was so clingy. We could tell that this was not going to go away anytime soon. In March, a dog at my Mom’s farm gave birth to five adorable puppies, a german shepherd/lab mix with a sprinkle of other things too. We adopted Misty, who is adapting to our home very well. She and Gizmo are best pals and play a lot now. Gizmo is definitely feeling better about things. And he gets to be king of the house so that makes him happy too!!!
