About 10 days ago we adopted Annabelle, the pretty little calico cat shown above. It’s been an adjustment for our nine year old cat, Buster and of course, Charger the basset hound. However, she’s completely charmed us and it’s fun having a kitten in the house again!

Thank you for the mention, my friend.
Traveling is a love of mine as well. Unfortunately, it takes time and money…
Thanks so much for including my post about using the calorie trackers. I’ve seen so much confusion about this issue
Thanks so much Kay, Annabelle is beautiful! I love long haired cats. I’d really like to get another cat but I don’t think our Lily would like it at all. She’s a bit of a diva.
Buster didn’t like her at first but he was the second cat when he came to our home all those years ago so he’s adapted pretty fast.
Annabelle looks like a cat I used to have! Thanks for the mention Kay it is appreciated!
Thanks so much for including my exercise post!
