Moving News

Please bear with us. We are in the process of moving, so things will be a little bumpy for a few days.

Go figure… So it may be difficult to contact us today. Hopefully it will be sorted out by the end...

The hacker attack that went after our server damaged our store to the point that it was safer to remove the program from the server and protect our other sites, than to leave it up and try to debug it. It’s going to take me a few days to either debug the program or build a new store, which is what I’m leaning towards, so please bear with us. In the meantime, please fax your orders...

How to Feed and Care for Orphaned Kittens

Four of them were two weeks old when their mother was killed; three others were only hours old when their mother died; two more kittens fell out of the nest in our barn when they were only a day old. Raising motherless kittens is not a difficult process, but it does require patience, time and plenty of TLC. Here are some tips to help...

The Dharma of an Introverted Dog

One of our best kept secrets as introverts is that often our pets mean more to us than some of the people in our lives. Pets can be the perfect companion for an introvert and I don’t think we should apologize for this. Pets are quiet, like us. They enjoy curling up with us for a good read by the fire. They’re always enthusiastic and available for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods. And...
