Sorry to use the board, but the email addy I have must be an old one? 
Anyhow, Mr. McQ and I hoped to have some news and maybe a pick of how Speck the kitten is growing up in her new home, with her new buddy. Is she getting big? Is she still into everything?
Hope you’ve all been well and had a terrific summer.
From the Random Thoughts Dept.:
‘Speck’ is German for ‘bacon’.
…and that leads us to Specksalz!
hey!! pictures were promised.
where are the pics?
ACK!! sorry, XaMcQ! my very VERY bad.
when last we tuned in, i was on the hunt for a new job. i did find one in early september, but i haven’t been back to the dope since.
i wish to report that Speck is doing just fine. she is healthy and an absolute sh*t on wheels.
oops. itchy trigger finger on the mouse.
it’s very late and i need to pack it in for the night, but i promise there will be new pix soon.
she’s not a whole lot bigger than she was, but she’s looking wonderful.
i was intending to take speck pix tonight after i got back from rehearsal, only to find my digital had died. i’ll try again tomorrow.
stay tuned…
here she is.
finally. 
no, i don’t have time for that fancy link stuff you guys all use so easily. i have a props table to organize and a set to finish painting – tonight. this will have tide you over.
enjoy!
That’s a SPECK? That’s a big kitty for a little name. 
Cute, though.
She looks great! Thanks so much for the photos. It’s so fantastic to know that the two of you are getting on so well. You must have been destined for each other! 
Here are the original photos, so you guys can all see how she’s grown!
Mr. McQ says hi. He is glad she’s happy in her new home.
