About Me

My photo
I live on 6 deeply wooded acres in the boonies of Middleville, MI. I'm married to an amazing man, Brian. He's pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm a big animal lover. I have 5 cats; Bella (6), Cognac (3), Georgia (3), Maggie (2), & Auggie (8-9mos.) We recently lost our kittens, Aesop & Amelia, to a battle with Feline Leukemia. I feel the need to mention them. They were amazing beings that showed unconditional love like no other cats I've had. I also have Cheech (9) that I'm fostering. We have two puppies; Charlie & Henry. Having a blast! I'm a dabbler in photography, photo shop, & crafts. I'm kind of a bookworm/nerd/geek. Yes, I have read the Twilight Series. No, I'm not obsessed. I love Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, C.S. Lewis, and L. Frank Baum - among others, obviously.

About An Hour Ago

Blogs like this are very difficult for me. Blurry eyed, pounding headache, and a hot face. My family dog, Sammi, died today. She would have been 16 this fall. I remember when I got her. I was 9 years old before I headed off to 5th grade camp. I remember I didn't want to leave the new puppy.

Sammi definitely made you laugh... A lot. In this picture I was laughing because she had hurried to eat a dandelion before I took the picture.

She was incredibly courageous. I felt so safe with her while I walked the 20 acres alone. She was loved by all of the cats in the house... Except for maybe Libby.

I don't really know what else to say. Other than I'm just incredibly sad. I'm going to miss her so much. So much.

She was beautiful...
