Next Furrsday is Halloween, and I can’t help but ponder why humans have such silly supurrstitions when it comes to black cats. In between cat-naps, I decided to look furrther into this myself. It turns out, it’s a bit of a mixed bag of ticks and treats. According to my research, during the Middle Ages […]

Mom and Dad packed up this past weekend, with baby sister in-tow, and headed the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
