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’. ---

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!
