Her name was Maraya


This is not her but it's a picture of a snow leopard.

[Ava]

6. awwww, poor things

but i must admit, that is pretty brave of you to do CPR on a snow leopard

[Maraya1969]

15. It wasn't really brave. She was barely conscious when I got to her.

I'm still mad at the guy that was supposed to be taking care of her for wasting precious time. But I guess everything has a reason.

because he hated them.

[mike_c]

9. I paid thousands for an assassin to murder my wife....

OK, I didn't really-- as far as I know the ex is still alive and making someone else's life miserable-- but it did have a lovely ring to it and just saying it was probably therapeutic or something....

[Ava]

And Ava, I learned recently that I can write upside down recently. I stall out sometimes, but I can't believe how readily it came. You, me, and DaVinci, eh?

:hi:

[Ava]

drug trafficking dogs... ever.

That's how old I am.

Nope. I like her the way she is.

[Ava]

the little dog I have has the sweetest personality of any dog I have ever seen. She turns a year old in November.

Here she is with her cat:

[mvd]

46. Aww.. that's so sweet!

Puppies/dogs are the best! I sure would like to get a new puppy, and was tempted recently by a Beagle/Toy Fox Terrier mix, but my dog Reba would not tolerate one. Reba is 11, and it would be too hard on her. She loves people, but is actually scared of dogs (even puppies.)

I saw it happen.
