Soon I will venture out for a change of scenery, but while I acclimate my body to more movement, sticking close to home seems smart. I recently lost my cat of almost 15 years, Theo. I hadn’t really been a cat person before picking him up at the shelter, but he and I became good friends pretty quick.
