A Visit From Dan

I heard Chloe meowing on the front porch this morning, and when I opened the door, Dan darted in the house in front of Chloe. Their mother left these two in my driveway in 1966, still pretty small. They were wild then, but food works wonders.

After several litters of kittens, in self defense, I had them both spayed. Then they just disappeared. Chloe has been hanging around some, but I hadn't seen Dan for about a year until this morning. She is in good shape - Probably has another home somewhere. Cats are very fickle.


Dan, the one with the tail.

Taken in the summer of 1966. They were still pretty wild. (Roger just pointed out that they would be 44 years old if they were born in 1996. Oops! I guess I meant 2006.)



I did a colored pencil drawing of Dan.

Downstairs destop Dell computer won't boot up. Ever since I had it repaird and Mike installed Windows 7, it has wanted to boot from the CD drive. I could go to "setup" and change it, but it would never hold that setting. This morning I can't get it to boot at all.

I want to find someone who can come here to fix it. The CPU weighs a ton. Barrie had to take it to Rendezvous Pointe the last time I had it repaired, and we had to pick it up there.

I don't use that computer a lot - I use my laptop upstairs, but it has a beautiful 24" monitor, nice for editing photos.

If you got those two in 1966, wouldn't that make them over 44 years old?

Did they stick around so that Kasey could pet Chloe at least
.
I suppose Chloe told Dan all about the nice house with good food down the lane, and he had to check you out.

Hmmm! Do you think I meant 2006? Just a "senior moment."

Dan is also a female. I thought (or hoped, maybe) she was a boy, but after her second litter, I realized my mistake. They both grew up here, and didn't leave until I had them spayed.
