The Eagles Killed the Cat?

Sometimes I just can't help thinking of what DD's mom & dad had told me.

They said, the days before & after PUSS disappeared, there was a dozen of eagles lurking near the waters. They wondered if the eagles had grabbed PUSS.

The lady doing power walking on Layard & Rainbow Road said it couldn't be. A rabbit maybe, but not a cat of Puss' size.

Was it the real cause of PUSS disappearance?

S.I.I.T.A.

Spring will come officially at 5:07 pm today, it is said so.

Spring is in the air.

How many days have passed since Puss was gone?

What's the use of my sitting here and counting the days?

I'm thinking, thinking of a better way to find him...

An excuse and not an excuse, I would say.

DO YOU REMEMBER ME?

"L" for

Love isn't simply what you say, it's what you act.

See what Puss Tabby is trying to say to PUSS BLACK.

Hello from the Golden Piggy

Hello guys, Gung Hei Fat Choy! It's Chinese New Year so I'm sending you a traditional nice greeting: wishing you a good fortune.

My name is Golden Piggy, I'm no other piggy you've ever seen. See the big smile on my face? I'm here to make everyone happy.

For those who watch "Deal or No Deal", I'm telling you, I'm the secret banker behind the scene - The Piggy Banker.

Bank in your confidence, Golden Piggy will bring you 100% joy and happiness. Satisfaction guaranteed.

It's the Year of the Boar (Pig), I'll also try making true the most impossible dreams, say, reuniting the lost pets and their owners; or missing persons with their families.

See who's making a wish?

Today

It's a beautiful day today.

It makes you particularly happy, and particularly sad.

You remember all your loved ones who had passed away, or someone who are there, in someplace, somewhere, whom you have lost in touch.

You see the beauty but you can no longer share with them.

Driving on the road I saw patches of clouds pasted on the light blue canvas, like the smoke swirling out from Aladdin's lamp.

When I stopped to shoot, they're all gone. No photo today.

Do precious people, dear friends, endearing moments stay momentarily like the clouds and can only be preserved in your memories?

Come the genie from Aladdin's lamp and grant us wishes.

Still In Search of Our Lost Valentine

WON'T SAY GOODBYE

The treacherous winter conditions have brought Operation Puss to a halt.

Tomorrow we're leaving for vacation but when we come back, we'll "SPRING" into action again.


Like the sun who comes after the night, we won't ever say goodbye to our best BLACK friend.

We'll see you, PUSS.

The Pursuit of Nothingness

It is snowing today, lightly, laying on the ground a thin white carpet.

You see the footprints. Of a man, a raccoon, a dog, a cat.

You shovel the snow away, the footprints are gone.

The snow falls, you find the footprints again.

A sense of reincarnation.

It's a time you want to remember, a time you want to forget.

To forget the laughter, to forget the tears.

To remember you exist, to forget you ever exist.

To forget how it hurts when you lost a friend, to forget the struggles a life has to endure.

As clean as the white carpet looks, underneath are paths of dirt.

Standing on the thin white carpet, suddenly, you have that longing for nothingness.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

Help us Make it in 2007! (if not in 2006)

Could you guide our way to PUSS? Thanks, Rudolph!

The 12 Days of Christmas

I'll not want a partridge, two turtle doves, three French hens, four calling birds, five gold rings, six geese, seven swans, eight maids, nine ladies dancing, ten lords, eleven pipers or twelve drummers.

PUSS is the best gift my true love can give to me...and the best gift I can give to him.

Let's pray.

All I Want for CHRISTMAS

Everybody tries hard
in helping me
My dear PUSS BLACK is
gone as you can see
I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas is
a bit of LUCK
a bit of luck
just a little bit of luck
All I want for Christmas is
a bit of luck
get PUSS back
and have a Merry Christmas!

Rain and Tears

Will he recognize me when he returns? I'm slowly growing older and shabbier.

How long has Puss gone? I've been waiting here for a few seasons, which should have been a very long time.

No, it's the rain; it isn't my tears. I am a chair, and a chair won't cry.

Who Was Missing on the Night of Halloween?

Do You Hear Me?

Roaring wind, torrential rain, fallen branches, crashing trees, power outages, serious floods, heavy mud slides...Inside the house, with heat and power, sitting on a couch, sipping my coffee, I felt so safe.

Heavy mud slides, serious floods, power outages, crashing trees, fallen branches, torrential rain, roaring wind...Out in the storm, so cold and dark, without a home, hiding in the bushes, drinking muddy waters, life is so hard for our stray friends outdoors.

Will The Petals Tell?

PUSS is alive

Puss is not...

The Light in the Darkness

There is an email from Salt Spring SPCA.

I'm told that a lady thinks PUSS is in her yard. The lady has now set up a live trap to get the cat.

Once she gets it, she'll take it to SPCA where the staff can check if there's an ear tattoo. Since PUSS has got a microchip, they can bring it to the vet for further confirmation.

Though everything is unconfirmed, I'm glad that there is a streak of light in the darkness...

(DD had also got several phone calls, though the cat spotted doesn't seem to be PUSS. The islanders, the only people whom we can count on, are really wonderful.)
