OF CELEBRATING MORE THAN 30 BIRTHDAYS WITH HER
I have been all over with world with Heidi.
Spain, England, Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica, Canada and far beyond Internationally.
New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Moab, Sedona, San Antonio to name just a few Domestic.
Monument Valley Tribal Park and the Big Island of Hawaii count among the all-time favorites for diversity and nature.
Our latest adventure has been closer to home -- within the 33145 Zip Code of Little Havana/Shenandoah.
We have adopted nearly one dozen rescue cats.
Honeybear the Siamese is the star of Heidi's social media accounts. Our sweetheart sleeps on the bed.
Honeybear's Tortie baby prefers to sleep under the stars, but is always close to the door and ready to play with mom when HB goes outside.
Our front of the house colony eats about 10 bowls of food per day.
That colony is headed by Squirt, a tiny, just a couple pounds full grown, ginger cat.
Her mate is Big Boy, a huge Maine Coon with a big, bushy tail.
Adults in the colony include Squirt's brother Jasper and cousin Charlie.
In the past year, Squirt gave birth to four kittens.
Irving is a grey dappled tiger cat.
Dusty is a lighter orange version of mom and dad, with dad's bushy tail.
Another healthy kitten looks like an exact blend of mom and dad, with the slight overall build of Squirt and the huge Maine Coon tail of papa.
The fourth kitten looks more like squirt.
There also is a darker orange friend of the colony.
We have so many, we haven't even been able to keep up with names of all of them.
The last weekend of August, we teamed with Miami-Dade Animal Services to humanely catch four of the cats, including Squirt, to get them spay/neutered.
Squirt is the sweet baby in the two photos with this post.
She loves Aunt Heidi and wishes her a Happy Birthday.
