Stellakitty Sends Good Meow Wishes to Beijing

Not all kitties in the world are as lucky and well fed as our Stella. Our hearts go out to Grandma Ding for caring so very very much. Now she, is a true angel.

"Ding Shiyang, also known as 'Grandma Ding', sits amongst her stray cats and dogs she looks after in her small hutong house in central Beijing July 15, 2008. Ding has over 250 cats and dogs in her home brought to her by concerned locals due to the 'clean up' campaign Beijing authorities mounted earlier this year to rid the streets of any stray cats and dogs before the August Olympic Games.

Lulu Arrives

Yesterday afternoon a hush fell over my family....when we all saw Lulu for the first time. She is a beauty. My sister T and her husband B couldn't wait to be puppy parents. So what do you suppose the other 'kids' had to say? Something like "meeeoooooowwww". I'm in love with puppy jiggle, have you ever seen it? I wonder, if the biological clock keeps ticking what we'll be seeing next? Alpaca? Bunnies? Chickies? I'll be an Aunt to anything. Smoootchie. Meow.
