This is my Princess Palooza Fuzzy Butt. Yes, she's a big girl. She was 4 when we rescued her and she was already a whopping 18 lbs. She's 5 now and all sorts of sassy and still 18 lbs. Do you know how difficult it is to get a cat to exercise? About as difficult as it is to get me to exercise.

Despite the fact that it doesn't mean a thing in the US, I was accepted as a Montagnais Metis member. I was excited for that to happen. I have been contacting distant relatives throughout the US and Canada and even though there is no solid documentation, the historical data points to several...

I hope none of you mind. I need to vent in a safe place.Have you ever had a family member simply not understand boundaries? Let me ask some questions before I explain.

In the wonderful world of ancestry, much digging can occur. Sometimes you find that you get good information and sometimes, not so much. I have met and known several of my great-grandparents.
