BREAKING NEWS!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!
Jewel is a Pixie-Bob Cat, which is a bob cat hybrid mix with a cat. I was looking at her yesterday morning and was thinking that she looks tiger-like, the pattern of her fur are thin stripes like a tiger. I was doing some research and came across the hybrids. She fits every description of a Pixie-Bob cat: eyes change from blue to green to gold as they get older, a poly cat with large paws and an abnormal number of toes, "chirps" instead of "meows," large features ... etc. SO, I think she is a bob cat hybrid, which means she can grow up to 14 pounds and grows for three years instead of one!!! Crazy!?!?!?! I have a tiger in the house :-)

JEWEL

                 Jewel was adopted on 9/4/09 from PetSmart in Clearwater. She was frightened to leave her brothers and sisters, and fidgety when I tried holding her at the store. I was discouraged and unsure about separating her from the comfort she had established there, but after 10 minutes or so Jewel was more relaxed and enjoyed being with me. She did well during the car ride home - wrapped in a t-shirt, cuddled with a dalmatian beanie-baby, and purred. Now, a few months later she fully enjoys her new home and is well established. She greets me when I get home in the late afternoon, and sleeps under the covers with me at night. She has been a true blessing. I can't believe I went 20 years without a pet!

Sorry world ...

Life has been a little hectic. I have been slacking on blogging for almost a month now. I really want to start writing everyday - I will get in a routine one day. 

Changes...

It amazes me how in a blink of an eye everything can change. What you knew before doesn't matter, the foundation doesn't exist, your world is turned upside down and you have no control over it ... all you can do is stand frozen in time and watch your life shatter and scatter into the unknown. Amazing how life seems so tangible, controllable, stable until something changes ... you wake up, get our of bed, and walk into the unknown.
