28. Although our Gracie loved the snow

Mon Jul 21, 2025, 06:03 PM

Monday

When my cousin lived upstate and the cats were indoor/outdoor cats, Gracie cried to go out in the snow.

Regret that it was in the days before cell-phone cameras because she would disappear into the snow and bounce out. She'd bounce all the way across the yard and it always took shaking the treat bag for a long time to convince her to come back in.
