The "Lion and the Lamb" are in close proximity...  On Veterans Day, the cat who "owned us" for 13 years (She was close to 15 in years.) left us for the place where faithful companions are gathered.  On the Sunday after Christmas, Son Joseph rescued for us a similarly appearing young cat about a year old.  This rescue is in full possession of a tail - unlike the last, who lost hers in an encounter with some sort of machinery.  This family addition and her canine companion have learned to co-exist. What more can one hope for?
