The kitties have been very close as we’ve been learning to deal with Atti’s new diagnosis. I know how kooky this sounds, but I swear they know when they’re needed.
Atti’s Birthday Present
This hanging toy is made up of all natural materials, so if you have a chewer like I do, you can rest easy. Back to business around here, it’s time I share this little project in detail. If you’re much…
2009 Year of Pleasures #5
