The Cat Whisperer

We were all really, really sad to see Anthony leave this morning. He will continue on through the U.S. with his tour, which will last through December. This guy was able to touch Ivan. Repeatedly. With two hands. Ivan enjoyed the petting and rubbing. Ivan does not allow ANYONE else (outside of the four of us) to touch him, let alone, touch him the way Anthony was able to. Many have tried, a few have made tiny bits of progress, but I have NEVER seen Ivan behave this way. I'm still in shock that Anthony did not get shredded or bitten. That is perhaps the biggest, best reference I have ever seen. He must have an amazing soul/aura and really is able to connect with cats in a special way. If you know Ivan, you understand how monumental this is! Anthony will always have family here in WI. I was not very good about getting pictures, but Allegrea got a lot. I grabbed one of Allegrea's, so you get to see the beautiful Allegrea with Anthony. She even edited it to make it fancy and pretty!

Luciana and Mark returned this afternoon from camping, and I was SO pleased to have them back! They had a lot of fun and did some really cool things. They went to Cave in the Mounds, The Mustard Museum (yeah, mustard), a mineral museum (which L calls the diamond museum), and of course there was a lot of hiking and endless hours of D&D.
