16 years ago I started doing this blog.
I had just gotten a digital camera,
and I had adopted Abby about 6 weeks earlier.
I had been doing a 'diary' of Abby's adoption and how
she was (not) fitting in with the 3 amigos.
But I got the idea that maybe I could combine the photography
and being online and keep an online diary.
There was no cat blogging in those days.
Blogs weren't that big of a thing in those days either.
But I found Timothy Dickens and seeing he was a tuxie
with a unique voice just gave me a lot of courage to start
up a blog mainly for Abby.
It's always been Abby.
Soon there was a cadre of cat bloggers,
and blogging has ebbed and flowed over the years.
I will keep on because....Abby.
I will always be her voice.
I will always
keep
her
alive.
On this blog.
It's not meant to be maudlin, it's meant as a
testament to the love we had,
and that I now deeply miss.
But, it's her story
which now has included Gracie, and my sweet
Annabelle.
So here's to 16 going on 17....
Congratulations on 16 years of blogging! Blogs are an invaluable way of saving memories. I kept our blog going after the boys had left for the Bridge to keep their memories for me and anyone else who wants to read about them.
