I do "know" some of you in a sense, but I've never met or spoken to any of you in real life, and yet your stories and thoughts have meant so much to me. By all means, kiss dogs and cats and hamsters and ferrets and, and, and... :) in Malo's memory. Though I have a new kitten as of two hours ago (and what a sweet surprise she was!), Malo holds a very special place in my heart and will always be missed. (I'm sure animal lovers can relate! They're all unique.) Barry :) That’s kind of how I feel too, on the other end of course — I’ve been touched, truly and sincerely, by the responses here.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about Malo. I loved seeing your pictures of him and reading about his adventures about the house and garden and his companionship through thick and thin. My two cats are my children and my heart goes out to you with his tragic loss. Just know that there are people thinking of you and sending good thoughts and kitty love.

All my shots are taken with the lens that comes with the camera! (Just a few exceptions -- I have some older manual lenses, but all photos taken with them are labeled.) I think the D40 has a slightly different model name now (they upgraded it a bit). I shopped around for years -- literally -- before getting a digital reflex and couldn't be happier, especially at its price. My camera is a Nikon D40, and yes it is *wonderful*.

I always wondere how you managed your balcony plants! Now I see your plants also didn't escape... Clio would know when Christmas arrived by her "new gift" in the living room - it didn't matter if it was a real or a fake little tree... she would try her best to make it her dessert! You got a nice shot of Malo's attempts there! Which camera do you have? I need to update mine and yours always have great zoom... I see from your plant shots... really nice. Well, have a better week and count on your friends around (and online)... :-D Exactly! I always wondere how you managed your balcony plants!

I think after catnip, lizards are the next in the list of interest! Now that you told this, it reminds me of my cat Clio... At my parents last year she saw this lizard in the window. The glass was closed and the lizard outside. She tried and tried to get the lizard... her paws would pass through it on the glass but she couldn't figure out why she couldn't touch the creature... she was so puzzled. And plants come in third I would say... I don't know about Malo but it was very hard to have colorful flowers around here because Clio always made them as some type of amuse-bouche...
