Our younger kitty, Ally, passed away at home the night of January 31. Barry found her the morning of February 1. We both looked for her the night before and didn’t find her. She had renal failure and the previous 2 weeks had seen some major changes in her eating and elimination processes, so we… Continue reading Ally has gone to the Rainbow Bridge

First retirement quilt top!
This quilt is “June” by GE Quilt Designs. I pulled the fabric for the quilt along (QAL) in late June, but due to closing out work commitments, I didn’t start work on it until July. And finally put it together this week in August. I had considered using a red grunge fabric where the blue… Continue reading First retirement quilt top!
Long time gone. . . . and update
So. Ghita is gone. Zinni is gone. Frankie is still with us, but struggling. We have a new corgi: Suri. We’ve had her for just over 2 years and she is finally beginning to settle. She’ll do almost anything for a stick. You can see in the background that we painted the house yellow. I… Continue reading Long time gone. . . . and update
Boysen is gone
Our beloved Corgi, Boysen (aka Boy or Boyfriend), has left us for the Rainbow Bridge. On Friday (March 14) he stopped eating. Saturday, he went to the vet, then to the vet hospital. Wednesday (March 19), we helped him to the next life as his body had become a heavy burden to him. We are… Continue reading Boysen is gone
Introducing our new Cardigan Welsh Corgis!
I was bereft after Coder passed away in March. Life without dogs in it has no structure and no meaning. So in April I started looking around for our next dog. I found a regional breeder (through the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America) who was looking to place older dogs. We knew we did… Continue reading Introducing our new Cardigan Welsh Corgis!
Memorial quilt for Coder
Part of my mourning for Coder has included making a memorial quilt in his honor. I made a small quilt when our cat Squeaky passed away and felt that it was good for me to do that. Coder’s quilt is still a work in progress, but the top itself is done. I just have to… Continue reading Memorial quilt for Coder
Coder has gone to the Rainbow Bridge
Our Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Coder, passed away on Sunday March 20, 2011, sometime between 5 and 5:25 am. He was snuggled up against my legs and his passing did not wake me up, so hopefully it was peaceful. He had been diagnosed with “something wrong” in September 2010. That was formally diagnosed as histiocytic sarcoma… Continue reading Coder has gone to the Rainbow Bridge
Coder, the corgi!
Coder is a Corgi-with-a-tail. We got him from rescue, so his past is a mystery, but as an adult, he has the body structure of a Cardigan rather than a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He’s taller, longer and has the legs that turn out. For a modern Cardigan, he’s a bit small, his ears are smallish… Continue reading Coder, the corgi!
Zinni – the former barn cat
Continuing with the theme of cats, I will introduce Zinni. She is a former barn cat and although we got her before she was 6 months old, she can be quite shy with new people. She was very plump last summer and the vet informed me she was going on a diet — and that… Continue reading Zinni – the former barn cat
Frankie, the fluffy one
Frankie is our rescue Himalayan cat. His fur is long and very soft and floats forever in the air. At this time of year, the static in his hair is such that when we comb him, the hair that comes out flies from the comb back onto his body. So we have to wipe him… Continue reading Frankie, the fluffy one
