Our latest kitty is from the Etobicoke Humane Society; the East Mall location. He's a Russian Blue (afaict full-breed) that was brought in by the relatives of an elderly person who was unable to care for him anymore. Middle-aged cats are always hard to place, but my wife and I make a point of taking the hard-to-place ones. Best cat we've ever been owned by. His most accomplished skill is eluding the light and my camera.
Yes, I had a lovely chat with your SO yesterday, Frank. I was up a ladder with a paintbrush load of latex primer when the co-owner of the place came in and said, "there's a woman out front who says she knows you somehow. Something about Frank Theroo?" She had seen my name on a bio sheet in the window. (I'm working with the good folks at CanClone to market their canvas and wide-format printing services. There are a dozen of my images printed on canvas hanging in their store windows as part of a pilot test of the process. I'm also building a studio in the back and I hope to do creative shoots there and host seminars as well.) I told your SO that she must help to get you up to The Junction. The icing on the cake is Dencan Books. I think she was totally sold when she heard about that place. :-) On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 11:02 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, compared to some I do very little at EHS.
