Hi, Pat! So nice to hear from you--and about your new little ones! Niki is getting to be a big boy (5 1/2 months old now), and is a real jewel. Not
afraid of anything or anybody, very friendly to everyone, incredibly affectionate, and smart--what a personality he has! I am so lucky to have him.He gets along great with my other two--Oliver and Allie. Especially Allie, who has "adopted" him, as I knew she would. Here are some pictures of the two of them. Niki is fond of playing The piano--walking up and down the keyboard at any time of the day (or night!). I think we are all quite content now, and feel three is just right for now. I hope you will keep in touch--would love to see how your lovely babies are growing. At some point,I still want to get up there to visit--I just have a feeling we will connect at some point in the future! Take care and enjoy all those new little ones (kitties and puppies--how cute they all are!). --Pat Oliver's mom
Good Morning Pat\Has the big black kitty had the kittens yet?
We have named our kitty, Lord Nicholas Mufassa Musavee, we call him Nicholas. He went to the vet yesterday, they all just loved him. My vet Jenney said she knew you vet, that she used to be in Southwest Harbor she thought. Nicholas is in great shape. He got his next shots and is already for his appointment on Aug 29. He has moved into our home and taken it over. Our large cat Sassy, was real standoffish at first but she has even warmed up to him. She lets him run around her and play with her tail. I think they are going to be great friends. He is a great joy to us. He sleeps with us, curls around my head. He gets up about 2, gets a drink, goes his box and then decide it is play time. Last night I just made believe I did not wake up, he came up and laid just under my chin and kept nudging my chin with his head. He loves to be cuddled. He is a great addition to our home. My vet said that she believes he will be at least 14 to 18 pounds without being over weight. She thinks he will be a big kitty. Just wanted you to know all is fine and that we love him already.

Today I buried my best friend in the lower corner of the garden where she spent most of her time.
It is with a sad heart that I want to let everyone know that my beautiful Zoë has passed away.
Zoë was a rescue puppy, her mother died when she was only 10 days old. Zoë was the runt of the litter and wasn’t expected to live.
I took her home and fed her with a bottle, kept her warm and clean and by the time she was 5 weeks old she was starting to eat on her own.
The first year was unique as Zoë wasn’t aware that she was a dog. She had no social skills and it took me till she was two to train her.
Once she caught on it was awesome, she is the only dog that would go for walks with out a lead and when I stopped, she would stop and wait for me.
Some of her favorite times were when we would go to the blueberry field. Zoë would run all around and then just stop and eat blueberries. It was fun to watch her do her little act.
Zoë also loved to go to the garden with me, she would find the best place in the shade to rest. Occasionally she would sneak a green bean or two. Zoë never walked on the veggies, she carefully went between the rows.
At night Zoë would get up on the couch with me and curl up leaving me just enough room to get comfortable on the other end. She really liked to have the blanket over her and yes she had her own pillow at the other end of the couch. I really did spoil her, or did she have me spoiled.
Their were many nights that one of the grandchildren would stay over, Zoë would make rounds and sleep on the floor next to the little ones bed. If they would wake up in the middle of the night she came and got me.
In her last years she just liked to lay on the big pillow I made just for her. However if someone was coming down the road she would quickly get up and let out a couple of really loud barks.
In the spring I will plant a special garden just for her , in honor of all the love she gave me and my family.
I love you and will miss your ZO ZO!
Love MOM
