A blog written by a young fluffy orange kitty named for Ralph Waldo Emerson and dedicated to the memory of Jake and Bathsheba. Monday, December 31, 2012. Thus, I am posting it here before the year is out. We sadly must report the passing of a dear friend to the associates of this blog. His hope had been to play on a championship team while maintaining Dea.

This is not a goodbye, but a see you soon. Summer break is finally here and I may not be able to post as frequently as I have been. I still plan to post a couple times a week to keep you up to date with what is happening here at the house, so let me know what kind of posts you would like to see more of.

So well try again soon. Check my Facebook I may have to go over to the dark side. Saturday, August 04, 2012. Claire showing Grandpa Tom where his nose is.
