| Indy, Geezer & Friends
    
Well, Felix, I think I may hold some sort of record for potters
with pets, since I do a lot of cat (and dog) rescue for the local
shelters and rescue organizations. As we speak, I'm hosting six
cats and ten dogs, five of which are ostensibly foster dogs that
are supposed to move on to other homes. However, since I specialize
in taking in older dogs, they seldom move on until it's time for
them to join other special old friends under the welcoming roots
of the cedar grove near the house.
It was hard to choose which pictures to send, but here we have
the following:
- Feeding Time is a shot of the mom & pups that occupied my
pottery studio for 8 weeks, courtesy of the Humane Society.
- Indy & Geezer on the couch: Indigo, a bluetick coonhound
rescued from a shelter, and Geezer, from the Warm Springs Indian
Reservation in Oregon.
- Io, aka Princess F--- Y--, insulted at being disturbed in her
beauty rest.
- Grey kitten, aka Mystic, appreciating the gracefulness of the
orchid brushwork on one of my wall pieces.
- And Gritsy, an older coonhound found in the Bighorn Mountains,
of Wyoming, nobody wants a coonhound that's too old to hunt, so
I turn them into couch potatoes. This old girl took a special
liking to Baileys Irish Cream and milk over ice, at Christmastime.
Pretty sophisticated for an old ranch dog!
Anyway...cats, dogs, and pots. What better life is there?
