Out and About

Posted on November 29, 2013 by Oldcat

At night on Thanksgiving I came home from visiting.  Since Julie had been in all day, I let him out for his usual walkabout.  He did not come home at the usual time, but since he started later it didn’t … Continue reading →

Posted on November 22, 2013 by Oldcat
