We are so used to being smug about how great our weather is in LA and how perfect we have it (most of the year) and how awful the weather is everywhere else. Unfortunately.....the weather gods are now getting even. RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!!!! It's been raining all day (sorry - 1 day of rain in LA feels like a month) and more is expected thru the next several days. Every road is flooding and it just continues to pour. In fact - it feels like it's raining CATS AND DOGS - BOL! Neither Angus nor I wants to go outside. We have become so incredibly comfortable with having sunshine almost every day of the year AND having nice warm weather that 60 and rain makes it seem like we are living in Barrow, Alaska!! So - for those of you who deal with this all year long - our sympathy. We will hunker down here and keep looking to the heavens hoping the sun pops out soon.

The Loss of a Beloved Family Member
Our family is sadly now one less. This past Monday, we had to say goodbye to one of our feline sisters - Tasha. After surviving a hypertensive crisis 16 months ago with subsequent heart failure and blindness, T&J finally knew it was time to have her cross the rainbow bridge. Up until a week ago she'd been doing great. Moving all around the house, eating, sleeping and hanging out with us. But she quickly got worse and so they did the the best they could by her and said goodbye. Thank you, thank you to Cozycroft Hospital!! Their compassion and gentleness are so appreciated by us all.
Tasha was 14 1/2 yrs old and has been with our family since she and her sister Deanna were kittens. In fact T&J brought them to California from Maryland. She was a mute cat and put up with her crazy sister who would alternate between being nice and being nasty. Tasha was gently and loving and everyone loved her. She was white and grey - in fact there was a grey mark on her side that looked like Mickey Mouse.
We miss her greatly and have shed tears for our loss, but also know that she is now happy and full of life and is with others who have gone before her - in fact we're sure Rocky was there to meet her.
