Vale Presto

Billie and Presto, April 2022 Sooooo… early this morning, the stars took a dear friend. Our aged and health —challenged beloved ex racehorse, Presto. She was the last of her herd of race horses we took on in 1997. The end of an era. We had just moved in and...

Vale Beloved Bast — Our Mother of All Cats

The black cat stared us miserably from the paddock next to the hay shed where she had sought shelter. It was raining and cold in the middle of winter and my heart went out to her. She walked into the trap with food, but that’s when we saw the kitten. The kitten who...
