Our pets

CatsCats (2)
Puma is a delightful black stray who adopted me last fall. He will be two years old next February 14th - his chosen birthday! He is neutered,
chipped and has all his shots. He is an outdoor cat, but must be kept in at night. His routine is love, games, play, snacks, love, hang out in the yard with you, love, play....

And Mango has just joined our family! He is also male, neutred, and very gentle. We think he is around 6-8 years old, oranges in colour and a calming factor for Puma.

Puma is healthy and while doesn't exactly like being brushed, I do it anyway and then give him some treats as a reward. He does not eat human food, and in spite of his desire to drink water from a running tap- he has his own little water fountain so don’t be fooled!

Our garden

local_floristGarden or plant care

Average - I have several house plants that are very happy to have attention and a weekly watering

The lawn may require mowing g two or three times
I would ask that the yard and gardens be 'inspected' for any blowing debris etc

The garden beds can be watered every few days in the evening or early morning. Not required if rainy.

Don't worry about weeds, but if you like to putter - have at it, as my Granny would say!

I am recently retired, looking to visit family out west, travel and otherwise live a little farther afield. My house is a mélange of books, momentos (sentimental value only!) and happiness!
