23 Aug '08 5:45 pm Two sweeties in one picture! Heartwarming stuff, Dixie - in the blink of an eye you'll be taking that same photo in - say - fifteen years time?
Cheers, and all the very best, M

30 Aug '08 6:40 pm I guess there are lots of 'Smokeys'. My first grey cat was called 'Grey Puss'. I love greys - now I have two, though I've never had one with long fluffy hair. Give Smokey a chin-scratch from me.

Hi Dixie,
1 Sep '08 2:37 am I don't think this granddaughter is part of the family we've met whose house is hard to access but so interesting. I'll bet you are quite the attentive grandparent. She does look like a real sweet kid. A first pet! Now there is a special milestone. If only they wouldn't grow up so very fast!
No grandkids here yet but, with my two year-old niece and new nephew on the way with my much younger youngest brother and his wife, I get to feel like a granddad.
