There’s a beautiful orange glow on the Rainbow Bridge.

Posted on September 7, 2019 by polloplayer

Look carefully, you’ll see it. Because Dodger was very, very orange and on Thursday he left us and stepped onto the bridge, leaving his earthly suffering behind. He came to us in 2007 as a very sick little kitten. Taylor … Continue reading →

Posted on June 20, 2015 by polloplayer

It’s been a bumpy week. The funeral, which went as well as it possibly could have. The travel, which, um, did not. First, though, thanks to everyone for the meaningful condolences. From cannoli to cards to so, so many beautiful … Continue reading →

Rude Awakening.

Posted on October 11, 2009 by polloplayer
