They were seven weeks old when my friend Lisa brought them into my life. I had just thrown my husband out, clothes and all, and she wanted the void filled for me immediately. She accomplished that! They were both so tiny they could hardly climb into the litter box. Lucy was jet black with little…

The volume was quite loud for a Saturday afternoon. The bar was a-buzz with women, very little testosterone! Throngs of women walking by the bar to the theater, all talking and laughing and loud.
