Orange is the New ...

... abode for Dallas! She's moved to Orange, MA with L & R and is so happy in her new home, without her "cousins" Fluffalo and Peep. The 3 hour car journey was traumatic for her - she looked like a drooling demon, salivating and throwing up for the first 30 minutes of her transfer. She looked so ragged and disgusting in this state that one could easily have mistaken her for a ferocious, diseased black cat - I didn't want to embarrass her with a photo of that ugly mess, so here she is instead, schmoozing up to me in her new palace.

She's relaxed and even frisky again, and loves looking out the window at her new realm. What a lucky, lucky cat - she seems so settled and content. Have any of you read the story from long ago (1958) called "Boats Finds a House"? Dale still has his childhood copy!


It's a delightful story about a cat called Boats who is looking for a house after retiring from life on a ship, and eventually finds one. It's (almost) Dallas' pre-emptively written autobiography!

Darkness falls from their deck
A lovely little lantern lights the way
