Quite the surprise arrival!

August 3rd, 2010 by Heidi

Saturday evening we had friends come for a BBQ and a few drinks, it was quite late and we had had a few drinks when I heard unusual noises from Willow and Aspen. It was dark so of course I sent Steve to check on them!

There are some pretty cool perks to working for a butcher’s shop, one of them being the tasty things to eat we get to enjoy, and share. And right now Charlie thinks I have the best job in the whole world!

Boots ~ 25th September 2000 – 5th July 2010

July 6th, 2010 by Heidi

10 years ago a friend at work asked for my help. He was moving in with his girlfriend who had this kitten. He was horribly allergic to the kitten, so the kitten needed a new home. He knew I was a cat lover, and would take good care of him, I couldn’t say no.

Distress call!

June 18th, 2010 by Heidi

While watching the Olympics …

February 14th, 2010 by Heidi

I thought I should distract myself from the Olympic coverage to post an update. It has been quite a week with kittens, coffee, court, doctors, barrels, ice carving, snow sculptures, an owl, Olympics & Olympic knitting! Some of them will require a post all of their own, which will be coming up in the next week, but for now here is a quick taster.
