From 2014, Gib spies with his blue eyes, Binx, our handsome feral tuxedo cat! While we did a post for International Cat Day , did you know that August 17th was  International Black Cat Appreciation Day ?

I know where you can live. Come home with me!" Is Binx doing magic and walking on air? Nope, he was strolling up the windshield to my car to say hello to us when we pulled in!  They were two of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen. Smokie was a gorgeous long-fur gray cat who I dubbed an honorary Husky cat due to her fur coat! Binx was a handsome tuxedo kitty! While he was fera...

  My beautiful boy, Gibson, one of the winning beautiful faces of Husky Coffee Co.'s July Dogs of the Month!   W oo! I'm so excited to say that my beloved furangel Epi-dog "Gibson" was selected as one of the. Husky Coffee Co.'s Dogs of the Month for July!
