Remembering Ashley

After over 20 years with our family, it is with great sorrow that I bear the news of Ashley's passing. We took her in when she was a feral kitten back in March, 1991 and since then she has led a full and free life in five different homes in both California and Washington.

There have been more than a few close calls and narrow escapes during her time, but last night she apparently had reached the end of her proverbial nine lives. We live in a semi-rural area on top of a plateau and there has always been the inherent threat of coyotes. I'm sure she gave as good as she got in the end and I like to think that the predatory culprit responsible will think twice before attacking another black Sable Burmese...

Naturally, we are besides ourselves with grief and I can barely type this out, but the Blip community has always been so supportive of all my images of Bonnie, Ashley, and Macaroni (currently MIA as well safely home!), that I felt compelled to share the sad news.
