Hillary Snow.
Hillary Snow. In her later years, Hillary was blind. We believe (and the vets concurred) that she had a tumor which pinched her optic nerves. This didn't really affect her quality of life, as she was strictly an indoor kitty - whenever outside, she was closely monitored by Juli and I. She got to learn the layout of our digs, and could navigate from room to room with very little trouble at all. She was also happy to curl up next to me on the bed at night, purrinf happily away - a very sweet cat.

Baby, the psychotic mouse. Baby was a "rescue" from a friend of Mike and Sandy's, who was living in a group house, and the other housemates couldn't stand Baby's smell. The little mouse smelled like old, boiled shrimp.

After we took Baby in, we changes his diet, getting him off the chlorophyl and other weird stuff he had been fed. He turned out to be a nice-enough little guy, but with a phychotic attitude - he was a nipper, allright.

Baby passed away in December of 2005 of old age, cuddled-up in my hands. .
