Roberta in Australia... I now have Ella long hair black and Tan yr and Tim Choc and Tan longhair... 7yrs...
We've been seduced by the Dark Side and now have 3 cats.
Zora passed in 2017 at age 16. Zeke passed just shy of his 17th birthday in May 2019.
We got our first cat, Minerva in September 2019. She was a rescue, a former feral that was picked up in rural Virginia with a litter of three kittens. The kittens were adopted out and we took Minnie. Minnie has come a long way. Minnie is a fluffy grey cat who is a mishmash of several different cat breeds.
We briefly had a second cat, Zeus, who we rescued from Baltimore County. He was a TNR cat. Unfortunately, he had a heart murmur that resulted in a sudden and unexpected passing after a few months. Juno is your typical "cow cat"
Juno joined our family in November 2023 as a kitten. She came out of a hoarding situation. No idea what happened to her siblings.
Phoenix joined us in October 2024 as a kitten. Phoenix part of a litter of 5 kittens that were surrendered to a rescue group. We thought Phoenix was a "Phoebe" because he was so tiny and his danglies hadn't dropped. When it came time for the spay, we learned he was a boy. Phoenix is our mini-panther and the most sociable of the three.
Wow! I was just getting ready to wipe an old PC to install a linux os and I happen to open up the browser and I clicked on Wiener Writings in my bookmarks and saw that it's back!
Haven't had a doxie in the house since Simon passed,we've had a few visitors but none of our own.Now that both the wife and I are semi retired we now have more time on our hands to be able to devote to a new family member and we actually have a doxie rescue close by and after the end of the year will be looking to adopt.
