I have spent many an hour looking out the mouse house dining-corner window at the beauty of my surroundings. I know I am a very lucky lady to live where I do and love it so much. The tall, bare maples that are so familiar to me, with a back-drop of beautiful fir trees covered in snow all helps to calm the soul.
And so does this little one.
For some odd reason she is letting me photograph her today. She's not perturbed...this is her face.
Annie is very clingy the last few days. More so than usual.
These two little cats are feeling a bit lost. I wish I could explain to them why they are missing their little friend. But, I can't. I just hold them closer, hug them more and keep them busy.
I stayed up late last night to put together this post. I still sit here in disbelief that Sierra has left us.
Our beautiful Sierra is terribly missed by all of us. The retired-guy took this one hard as she was 'special'. He has shed tears over her as we both feel she was too young to go.
Sierra was a bit of a loner but always willing to share a space with another cat if they so wanted. She was an affectionate cat with us; a cuddler. She was a lover of the out-doors but never left the property at our old home or here. She would join us as we gardened and did work around the property but was very well supervised by both of us. She loved to hide in the flowers at the old pump and supervise from her familiar little bench. She loved to follow us like a little dog might.
If you have followed me for awhile you will remember that she was stolen 17 months ago off our front porch at our older home. It was a terrible 25 hours for our family. But with the help of our local police and the internet, she was returned to us quickly and unharmed. From that day on she was only outside under supervision. Little did we know then that she would be leaving us forever in less than two years.
I will always be thankful that she was brought home to us and that we were here to help her when she needed us the most. Cancer took our little tabby girl but she will always, always live on in our hearts.
hugs, Deb

Wasn't she magnificent.
Her favorite spot all summer.

Oh God, we will never understand why she left us so quickly.
We know that our Kane will look after her now.
Rest in Peace, Cee Cee.
