Good Bye Dear Bootz

Our precious Bootz flew away to Cat Heaven yesterday morning.  She seemed to be under the weather so I took her to the vet.  X-rays revealed our darling girl had an enlarged heart and a collapsed lung--with only hours left to live.  The Vet said she either contracted a virus, or cancer which had been coming on for some time.  Thankfully, up until yesterday morning, Bootz had no symptoms of pain or discomfort, whatsoever.

This morning in the twilight of sleep, I felt her snuggled against my side--I felt the warmth and the weight of her body there.  But as I awoke, I realized once again, our small companion has gone.  Our hearts are broken, but how grateful we are to have known her these six months.

Hole Heart - Guest Hear Thursday

I caught this heart at Fort Stevens in Washington State.  Fort Stevens is a mysterious place, full of underground passages and rooms--some of them are so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face. There is a feeling about it I often sense at The Abandoned where Sissy and I walk together. 

Here the sea's salt has rusted a hole, through metal walls, in the shape of a heart.  This is my favorite of all the hearts I've found.

Office Cat

Here is Bootz the Cat sitting on my office desk.  She loves to watch squirrels and birds from there.  Bootz is a Ragdoll.  She's HUGE!  We are so fortunate to have found her.  She fills our home with laughter and fun.

Skillet Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

I was making breakfast the other day--and what did I see but an egg yolk heart staring up from the pan at me!  I'm back after four weeks of a very busy holiday season!  It is so GREAT to be back.
