Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately.
I’m still settling into the new home and a new routine in a new location, and I haven’t got my schedule down yet. I’m also now grieving for Malachi.
The cats LOVE the new place! There is an upstairs room and in addition to having extra space to run and play, there are steps to run up and down.
Rumpy spends much of his time lying on my bed in front of a window unit air conditioner. It’s been incredibly hot here, so he doesn’t want to spend much time outside.
But come mealtime, there’s only one place this dog will be.
I like that the lighting inside this house is good, so I’ve gotten some great photos of the gang. Enjoy. And enjoy your week!

Glad things are going well for you all. Moving is hard. Moving with pets is harder.
You got that right! I love moving…. all but the moving part.
That’s a very cute home. I hear you about it being hard without Malachi. It couldn’t have been easy making the move either with all the fury kids. Glad you’re there and settling in.
Thanks. We’re getting there!
Great to see your handsome face, buddy. Moving is exciting, but also stressful for kitties and doggies….and moms. Glad to see you’re all settling in and staying cool.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Especially the staying cool part! 😃
Life is change. Change is usually harder than we think it is going to be. Loss is even harder. 😦 Thank heavens you’ve all got each other.
And you’d think that as I grow older change would be easier, but it seems harder. Ugh!
And then there comes a time in life when you get old enough and you just sit back and let change roll over you. At my age that starting to happen now and then. 😃
By the way, that’s a great looking house.
Looks like a wonderful new home! Glad to see that the whole gang likes it. Enjoy and stay cool!
Thanks! That’s Rumpy’s plan for sure!
Cute home and lovely kids!!

Thanks! The kids make any house a home.
A lovely house! Nice to hear that you all are happy in your cute house.
Waiting to hear your news of your new life :-).
I will keep you posted!
Cute photos!
Thank you!
Looks like a nice place – very comfy! I’m constantly amazed at your ability to find a landlord that will accept so many pets!
Shhhhh!!!!!
good to hear you have settled in well,xx Rachel and Speedy
We’re working on it. My goal this weekend is to empty the last boxes. Three more to go!
So cute!
Adorable house! Happy Housewarming and here’s to many wonderful and fun times to come!
Take your time… No hurries:-) !!
Your new home is super cute – it looks like a storybook cottage. Everyone looks really happy. Malachi is with you all in your hearts. Wishing you only good things and happiness here. x
So glad to hear from you, Jen! Your new house is cute, and we are happy that you’re all settling in. 🙂
If I’m out of line, I apologize.
I need your prose and your uncanny way of tackling emotional issues with sensibility.
Would you do a piece on the Yulin Dog Festival? The event is horrific. The video footage unbearable. The only thing that makes it bearable is my anger. I believe that people are entitled to eat whatever they want to eat. I have horses but I acknowledge that the meat that comes from them is one of the most healthy red meats available for human consumption. It’s the brutality and thanklessness with which these dogs are treated prior to slaughter–I cannot justify it for love or money.
I did not know that this event existed, that it was part of our modern world. More people need to be made aware of it.
It is your writing style and your mixed topics of choice that keep me coming back for more. I’m hoping that you can take this one on. Just a caution, however: you will not believe the photographs and video you are seeing.
Best,

Looks like you’ve all fallen on your paws with this new home. Cats do adore stairs and lots of space. Rumpy will expand to fit his territory when the weather cools down. Well done in your choice.
Congrats on finding such a cute cottage. Happy settling into the new space. Try to stay cool-it’s hot everywhere it seems. Only 87 more days to official start of autumn, but who’s counting? 😉
Thinking of all the little and big paws that patter through your life…congrats on your new home and my sympathy to all of you on the loss of Malachi. xxx
Wow!!! Your new cottage house looks lovely!!!!! I like it! I’m so glad that kitties love your new place, too! I hope that the heat won’t annoy Rumpy going out for a walk. Oh….Malachi…..I still look at his photos sometimes…cherishing his lovely memories…..
