If that one of her snoozing in her blanke isn't the cutest THE CUTEST thing!!
Look how shiny her furis Pepper! That is a veryhealthy cat!
Now the one of her on the floor.....I think that's one of yhe PRETTIEST ones of her so far. Just a very pretty Jilly.
Your little friend?? Well.....a verh unique "scarve".....quite a stylish little kid! But a lot of love there for sweet Jill!
Snuggle on Jilly colder weather is coming!

369. Love the pictures. I need to look back and find a picture of our "George". He was a gorgeous tuxedo who looked like he could have been Jilly's brother (cover your ears, Brudda). We lost him to a soft tissue cancer in 1997 at the age of 16. Not too bad for an indoor/outdoor country kitty. He would take on any dog who dared come into our yard. Even broke a friend's Lab from chasing cats!
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
