It’s good to know angel Ruby’s Tower of Love is still getting lots of love. Angel Miss Newton really liked that middle level with the soft warming pad and the Squirt Viola LOVES that cubbyhole.

04/10/2019 – Wednesday’s What?

To so many of you, thank you for all your kind words expressing sorrow, understanding and love on the passing of our Miss Newton last week. She was with us for seven years and yet, that passed in a flash. Time is short. Please hug and kiss your loved ones, right now if possible, and make sure every day counts.

From our hearts, we thank you.

What is wrong with this picture? Sure, Tessa is in it. She doesn’t look mad at the moment. She’s in her favorite Ham-mick. The electric outlet has plugs so she can’t get into trouble. Do you see the problem yet?

Let’s look closer.

Once again, proof that Mom and Dad aren’t keeping things as nicely vacuumed as they believe they are. This is fur. On the underside of Tessa’s Ham-mick! How does this even happen? Tsk, tsk . . .

Mom was mortified when she saw this photo. Now EVERY LAST THING is being vacuumed, top, bottom, sides, insides, outsides, upsides, downsides. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Can’t some kitties get some peace and quiet?

Apparently, no time soon. Thanks, Tessa. Thanks.

04/03/2019 – A New Angel

With heavy hearts and souls, we said goodbye to our gentle and fun-loving Miss Newton who, at 4:14 p.m. Monday afternoon, defied the laws of gravity and soared as the newest angel at the Rainbow Bridge to the warm, mousie-filled Summerlands beyond. She was helped by a favorite and understanding veterinarian and a gentle vet tech, was brushied and petted by Mom and Dad who whispered love in her ears and was surrounded by her beloved IKEA mousies who accompanied her on her journey.

Miss Newton joined Colehaus in 2010 when she was somewhere between the age of 2 and 4 – a refined girl rarely reveals her true age, and personally handpicked her Dad during his first ever visit to the Humane Society. A few months later at home, she took young Pia under her wing and helped make her the Ginger Princess she is today.

Miss Newton enjoyed many things as a member of Colehaus, among those being breakfast and dinner served in silver bowls by Dad, forehead grooming by Pia, tussling with Quint and Tessa, carrying her IKEA mousies, clawing the pleather couch, clawing Dad’s jeans, Disco music, scampering up and down the stairs, burying invisible specks of food found on the floor, using the floor as her personal litterbox wipe, our local PBS channel (especially if Dad’s jeans were nearby), french fries and her family. Additionally, she took the fine art of evening yowling to a new level not soon to be surpassed (Mom can only hope) by anyone.

Miss Newton passed knowing she was very loved by Mom, Olivia and Pia, and had a special place in Dad’s heart. In fact, she was Daddy’s girl. She also left knowing canned Wellness food would never stand up to Fancy Feast, that laptop computers were no competition for attention when she wanted it and not a single member of the Kardashian family would ever matter one wit to her.

If you ever find yourself in the cookie aisle at your grocery store and happen to see Apricot Fig Newtons, please purchase and enjoy them in her honor. Miss Newton was named for the color and sweetness of these rare delights.

Thank you so much for your exceptional kindness, hugs, prayers and good thoughts sent. Your words mean the world to us and we deeply appreciate every comment. Thank you.

Miss Newton FOREVER. Thank you, Ann, for her beautiful graphic.
