Stay by Ash Knight
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Madden and Joe’s story broke my heart and healed it again. This book isn’t just a romance, it’s a story about love, healing, and what it means to be truly seen. Even if you don’t usually read romance, read this one!💕

My sister's cat had a terrible case. He had nightmares she thinks over spending two days being catheretized. He doesn't like the diet, but has adjusted. She keeps telling him it's to keep that tube out of him.

Feline urinary problems, especially for a male are a little scary with possible consequences. Hoping fir the best.

Plain would be my favorite. I don't like caraway, but know a lot of people do like it

I think she heated the oil first because the cornbread wouldn't bake evenly with the iron heating more slowly. And for years she never used a recipe, just combined the stuff and it worked. Later she worked out a recipe because she was making it as often and didnt have the same feel for it.

Fluffy is 10 and has the most magnificent whiskers I've ever seen. She is loving and cuddly and she loves to chatter at birds out the window. She is at Richmond Animal Control and in search of a loving home. To sweeten the deal, these whiskers probably come with TEN WISHES!

Baked in an iron skillet? My mom baked her cornbread in one and it was delicious. I think she heated the oil in it, poured in the batter, then put it in the oven
