It's been awhile since you've seen Celie, so I made her the cover image for this entry.  Just this week though, I enhanced her name to "Celié Pantonette", given her rich palette of Frenchy tri-colors."Let them eat treats!" she commands,...

Before July 17th, our Frankie became sick with an upper respiratory infection (possibly pneumonia) and we took her to our local animal hospital. The vet gave her an antibiotic but wanted to try a stronger one the next morning.  We...
