BIG step forward with Gryff, today
My brother was here to help me with cutting up some tree debris. Afterwards he made some Manhattans and sat down and chatted.
Now, Madoc LOVES my brother and always wants to play, when he's here, but Gryff always kept his distance. Today he jumped right up on the chair and into his lap! He even gave him some soft coos and a few nuzzles. My brother, who loves cats, couldn't have been more pleased.
And it made me very happy, too.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
