In December it was time for Islay’s routine echocardiography but as I could not get an appointment we had to postpone it till this month. Regulars might recall, that after Ice-B died of the hereditary heart disease HMC (short for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), I...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Birthday cat Schmotti is pleased as punch that you thought that she is much younger – which female would not be pleased? Unbelievable but true, Schmotti is in fact a very fit 20! (And cross my heart, no grey hair and wrinkles...
