Such a pleasure being part of your Pawed Cast! I hope I have absorbed some of the ability of all those involved! Thank you, Sharron, and Raymond. You made it work, for sure! And I can both see and smell Santa Cruz-by-the-Sea. Like Monterey. About time I refreshed those memories. Thanks again!

That is a great shot of the Venetian blind debacle, and some quick thinking on Kayla’s part!

Hi Sharron, enjoyed the interview with your talented guests very much - and especially liked seeing Jim Cummings from All Day Long involved. He is one of my favorite writers here on Substack. Thanks for sharing - Jim

Thank you Raymond for letting us visit the left edge of the country. So sorry to hear of your adventure with the blinds. The sound of them likely added to the distress of having a snarling dog so close...tho safely on the other side of the glass. There is rain predicted for the next 5 days. That pretty much guarantees the mice will not be out. LIke cats, mice do not like wet feet. The leaves on your Japanese Irises appear to be the same length as ours here. I wonder if they'll bloom the same time. Mr. Goldie is allowing me to remove bits of his armor built out of depression for loss of his lifelong buddy. He'll be back hunting the meadow when its off and get stronger. Armor is immobilizing so he's mostly in his heated nest. He is speaking again. A good sign. He used to read aloud while he walked. Whole Encyclopedias starting at A. I'm waiting for volume R.

Hi Sharron, As you know, I love Raymond - getting caught in the blinds is classic - and his interviews most insightful. Delightful in every way.

A story worthy of 9 lives. Thank you Raymond for sunning your chin on concrete and getting entangled in the Venetian blinds. Will check out the writers you interviewed.

Thanks for including me Raymond. I enjoyed hanging out with all the cool cats here!

I'm glad the weather has become more suitable for feline frolicking. Hoping to hear more about your adventures soon.

I'm stealing your photo of Raymond and the moon. He looks just like Buda.

I'm not a huge cat lover but confess I'm falling for Raymond!
