A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.
Pam Brown
Image
Bears being sent through the mail should never be squashed up to make them fit. It gives them indigestion.
Pam Brown
Image
Human beings are drawn to cats because they are all we are not — self-contained, elegant in everything they do, relaxed, assured, glad of company, yet still possessing secret lives.

Riding turns 'I wish into 'I can'.

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.
Pam Brown
Image
For sheer excitement you can keep movie premieres and roller-coasters . An empty white canvas waiting to be filled. That's the thing.
Pam Brown
