I am overwhelmed and humbled by all of the hearts!!!

Between my knee, the snow, and a jumble of sad anniversaries, this is a really emotionally rough time for me. Toss in self isolation and it's easy to become depressed. But I know I always have my AMAZING DU friends to connect with, share with, grieve with, share outrage AND victories with, and most important, to laugh with.

You all mean far more to me than you can ever imagine.

Mittens the Kitten ran down the snow path to greet me, again, this morning. Honestly, it's the best feeling in the world to watch them thrive. Hopefully I can soon move their bowls back to a location where I can keep an eye on who is showing up.

Instead it was Gryff cooing me a good morning song. That was MUCH nicer!

handled them all so kindly and with so much devotion, you captured a lot of hearts and became family.

So much awfulness in the world and you became a daily dose of sunshine and fresh air.

Seeing how Cinder and Smoke are thriving in their Chicago home and having Madoc, and now Gryff, to keep me company and entertained - a wonderful feeling. Gryff has settled in as if he was a part of the original litter.

I'd do it all again, in a heart beat.
