disco dentist!
I already got my Best Present of the year, yesterday morning. Peter and I were heading out to run some errands and as we pulled out of the driveway we saw a big fluffy cat in the alley across the street. It was the Old Kitty, who hasn't been around here since a couple of weeks before I left for Athens in July. He's disappeared for months at a time in the past, but this time I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the old guy must be dead. But on he goes. He's all fluffed up for winter, his bald spots having all grown back in. I looked for him this morning as I walked down to the river to set free yet another trapped mouse, because you know that no matter how much I worry about how those mice will fare once I've left them on the cold, cold riverside, I'd gladly feed one to my sweet old alley kitty in a heartbeat.

Happy to hear about the cat for sure, but had to stop and say that I LOVE the photo :-D Happy Holidays, Jodi!

Those creaky-old-kitties have a hearty constitution, that's for sure. Maybe Old Kitty will lend some of that stamina to me. ? ?
