Layla is so cute, I hope she finds a really good home! We're having that dark, dank day as I type this. It's okay though, today is dedicated to going to the vet to get S&P checked for Monday's flight back home. Long day ahead. :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-10268924712033554852018-05-08T17:11:12.686-04:002018-05-08T17:11:12.686-04:00And when the hot toddy's run out a mug of hot...And when the hot toddy's run out a mug of hot chocolate with a glug of Bailey's.<br />Let it snow!!Goatldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222031369656684797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-72412012754514147342018-05-08T10:20:37.330-04:002018-05-08T10:20:37.330-04:00She's a different one, Elaine.

I swear they kept it as a pet; two cats in the house and it lived indoors for several weeks. I had to catch it (humane trap) and re-home it in the end.
