… to the confident, dignified, and floofy Pia we know today. Yeah, we think we’ll keep her. As if we’d ever think otherwise.
Is summer really over? – 2014 © Colehaus Cats
It’s been rainy outside for a few days now. I guess that means my first summer is really over. *sigh* I liked summer.
You have lots of summers ahead of you, Viola. But we understand. There’s another girl in this house who didn’t like the end of summer once either. You remind us a little of her.

The shelter Quint (and Olivia and Pia and Ruby and Zuzu and Viola) came from, the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society puts on a big auction dinner every fall. It’s their biggest and most important fundraiser all year and this year, Quint has donated four of his one-of-a-kind seasonal paintings for auction. We’re pretty excited about this and hope it does well toward helping support the care needed for over a hundred homeless cats (many senior) and kittens available for adoption at the shelter. It’s always been our wish, and we think his too, that his talent could be helpful and to date, because of many of you, it has been, tremendously so. Thank you!
Here’s a look at his work, on special 6×6 inch canvas, going up for auction at the event this coming weekend. You may recognize a few from past seasons, and here’s a sneak peek of his upcoming winter offering, Winter Frost:
