Awww, it’s always so wonderful to hear from you, Karen!Good morning, Staci! I'm currently on a work trip and stationed in a conference room all by myself until they call me ... what else to do but check in with my favorite cats and peeps at the FDMB?LOVE this photo of Ivy speaking her truth ... she is a true beauty and gives new meaning to floofissima, which is the only word I can think of to describe her lusciousness. I'll take a page from @Angela & Cleo and ask you to please smoosh her tooshie for me. Many hugs to you!

She’s lucky she’s an indoor kitty so that thick coat doesn’t really make her hot. She’s one spoiled girlHope you're both staying cool, her thick coat must be hoootttt! Safe surfing, little Ivy.![]()
Thanks, Staci!Awww, it’s always so wonderful to hear from you, Karen!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the picture. My son actually took it and I thought it was great. She certainly speaks her mind, doesn’t she?
I will certainly give her a smoosh for you and sending back the hugs to you, hope you’re doing well![]()
I know how much you miss your sweet ChispaThanks, Staci!I'm keeping busy (lots on my plate this summer), but I miss my sweet Chispa all the time. Her picture is on my phone and her shrine is on the bookshelf, so I see and talk to her throughout the day. I probably sound like a crazy person, but I'm old enough not to care.
I miss the FDMB too -- you would think FD would be the one thing I wouldn't miss, but somehow that's not true. It felt like a privilege to take care of Chispa. I guess it proves the saying that this is "the best place you never wanted to be."
I've been to the local cat café and to the shelter a few times to donate food and supplies, half expecting a furry someone to walk up and say "Take me home." But that hasn't happened, and it's probably a good thing, with so much else going on right now. Things will calm down a lot after Labor Day, and I'll be at the shelter the very next day.
I hope all is well with you! You are doing a beautiful job with Ivy, as always. She is one lucky lady, as she would surely be the first to say.![]()
