I watched the stream turn into a waterfall, and then the water began to rise.

      1. Oh my goodness, thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

        I’m so glad Shadow approves and can’t wait to see it on the book blog!

        Some years ago, I did publish a book. I think my writing has improved since then and I’m always learning more. Recently, I’ve been writing a serial story on my blog which has been a lot of fun.

      2. Maybe it’s time to do a second edition of that book. Edit and put it back out with a touch of your better writing skills? 🤔

        And you’re welcome. He hasn’t posted it up yet, but we figure he’ll get around to scheduling his November posts today. Very proactive puss this one. 😂

        If you ever want to promote your serial story on the website, you know how to find Shadow!

      4. I hadn’t thought of a second edition but that is definitely not a bad idea. I will consider that, for sure. 🙂

        I love cats so much. lol I’m owned by an orange tabby.

        Thank you so much. 🙂 I appreciate everything.

      6. He is sweet and cuddly. When I first saw him at the rescue in 2013, we estimated he was about five years old and he did the most amazing thing. We locked eyes and he turned over onto his back and began purring very loudly. It was as if we connected right away. He is definitely the boss but I don’t mind because he’s so cuddly and full of personality. When I stand in front of him, he goes up on his hind legs with his front paws outstretched so I will pick him up. lol He’s my best friend. ❤ Oh, and his name is Cesare but usually, we just call him Chezzy, or Buddy. 🙂

        If you would like to see him and read his story, you can find it here: https://booomcha.com/2016/09/14/a-cat-story/

      7. Awwww. Shelter animals are the best, but I may be biased with that. I’m a shelter-kitty too.

        Didn’t meet my mom the way you did though. I was a semi-feral, and Alex chose to take the chance against the volunteers’ advice. Couldn’t imagine my life without her and the team now. Glad they took a chance on me. I was not a good kitty like your Chezzy. But I’m better now. ^_^

        Chezzy is lucky to have you. My teammates also sometimes call me Buddy, or Puss.

      8. I think shelter animals are the best, too. 🙂

        Alex is really wonderful to have been so kind and patient. I’m so glad you found each other and that you’ve done so well. I wish there were more people willing to take a chance. 🙂
