Thank you Tiia and Brett! Very much! :D

I had a fire going a good part of the day. -17c with the wind chill.

(...And it was windy! And snowy!)

Hi Mumj!!! Oh yes! Lucky B. LOVES the fire. His old bones are stiff now and he really loves the the warmth there. MAN he was a mouser in his younger days. NOW I catch all his food for him, peel it like grapes and hand feed it to him! HA! xo

Hi Doug! It's hard to keep up with your DDR. The rest of us have to give you a "run" when we can! HA!

Lucky Boy is so lucky to have you Laura. He looks very happy and contented sitting in front of that warm fire. #8326958

Reynaldo D. Reyes level-classic January 24, 2010

Whoa, so colorful, love this out of rainbow experience ~ with the other side being that alternate universe. You're getting good with all these effects Laura. #8327031

Laura E. Swan level-classic January 24, 2010

Hi Ann! :) Lucky has been such a good friend. We took him in as a stray that showed up in our back yard many many years ago...(2 houses ago!) He just hung out and never left! HA! Kept me company while I gardened!

He is so smart that it's WEIRD! His eyes can look right through you and when you talk he REALLY listens. He runs to your side (or home) when you whistle and heals with me when I walk him on his harness! His behaviour is like an obedient dogs would be.

He is the reason I have read so many cat books. They are amazing creatures. They can understand way over 100 words if you use them a lot, they COULD do tricks if they so choose to...The experts said last week on TV they they have proven now that cats are smarter than dogs! Dogs are just USUALLY more obedient...OBVIOUSLY! HA!

*

Yes! That "alternate universe" is right Reynaldo! Big smile here! The WORLD OF THE WARM FIREPLACE! Notice he ONLY choses to give up ONE LEG to the COLD WORLD BEYOND IT?! (That's my SMART KITTY!)

Thanks guys! I enjoyed your visit!
