I'm missing seeing her. Post a photo please.
Thanks for your kind words for Shadow.
I don't think I've told you yet — I've found a home for my photography online. At Flickr.com.

On my main page, Photostream shows all the photos I’ve uploaded to the website, from which I have created some Albums. Please click on Albums to see what they are. Shadow and KC have two of them.
Thanks,

Sophie loves to lie on the couch next to me! Here’s a photo of her resting her chin on the arm like Shadow.
