About two weeks ago there was an emergency situation at work, a kitten was stuck under a co-worker's dashboard. How did she get there? Well, she first started out in the car engine where she road in for about a 15 - 20 mile drive to work. My co-worker heard her engine meow and knew that something was just not right. She has had past experience with the local cats slipping inside her engine, but this was the first one to actually hitch a ride. The stowaway was safely removed from the engine and placed inside the car. Well, the stowaway being a typical kitty decided to explore and get herself in a fix. I volunteered to rescue her and managed, after much cussing and painful yoga positions, to get her out of the dashboard without having to remove one single bolt. Needless to say, I took her to the vet soon after work and she was pronounced to be a perfect healthy one-pound ball of fuzz. At home it took the landlords, Marley & Joey, two days of hissing and giving me the cold shoulder to warm up to the little one. Now they ADORE her. She has to be cleanest kitty, since Joey and Marley take turns cleaning her. She is head over heals in love with Joey, and he cares for her but not in the same fashion. Marley on the other hand is smitten with his new playmate and is more than eager to show her how to wrestle and pounce on the slave monkey’s head while she sleeps. All this said and done, let me introduce you to Nina “La Pulga.”


I am currently searching for a forever home for her, because three cats are just a little too much for me at this time. Everyone bets that I will be keeping her, but being an apartment dweller limits me on the amount of critters I can have. I plan on keeping up with her vet needs and finding her a suitable home where she will be loved and spoiled. Would you like a kitty?

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant 
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I found this whimsical butterfly in the Christmas tree ornament clearance display at my local Pier 1. Of course I bought a couple, eight to be exact. I will either use them on my 2008 Christmas tree or as a unique gift ornament.
