View of Kennecott Copper Mine from the top of Butterfield Canyon Road

OK-this is the video that I was talking about. I will try to straighten things out on the blog--with which video goes with which title. There is a Hail video and a Copper Mine video. This is the Copper Mine video-from the top of a ridge that we drove for miles to get to the top of. The following day, we visited the mine from the Visitor's Center. It was a little more safe.

Aunt Tracy found him!


Jim & Tracy, Katie, CJ & Robert watched 3 of our cats for us for 3 weeks while we were away from home. They graciously took Ditto, Lexi, & Maybelline into their home. These are the 3 cats that we felt wouldn't do well if left at home. Lexi gets medicine twice a day for seizures. They are all spoiled and needed TLC. We were a bit worried about the mixing of two family's array of pets. Our cats would have to learn to live with the 2 cats & a dog that already live in the J&T Harsh household. Everything seemed to be going well and the B&D Harsh cats were dealing with the change...UNTIL Ditto disappeared! He was gone for almost a week. We got a call from Jim that he was missing and they were in the process of looking for The Ditto. They looked and looked and looked-NO Ditto.

Donna came home from Colorado on June 30th, leaving Bobby & the kids with the camper and another week of travel. After arriving home, she went over to pick up Lexi & Maybelline. They were happy and didn't seem to care if they stayed or came home. Still NO Ditto. The J&T Harsh family felt VERY bad that they misplaced Donna's favorite cat. Donna says that he isn't HER favorite cat but Donna is The Ditto's favorite person. The Ditto had even started to bond with Tracy before he vanished.

Donna brought Lexi & Maybelline home and settled them back into their own house. No Ditto. Then, at about 11PM the same night, Jim called to say that Mam & Tracy had found The Ditto. He had been hiding under a dresser behind a spot that kept him out of view. Even looking under the dresser, you couldn't see the fat cat.

Everyone was happy that The Ditto was found. Tracy was most happy--until the dumb cat went to the bathroom (x2) on the bed! DUMB DITTO! The next day, after work, Donna picked up Ditto (after coaxing him out from under the dresser). Ditto is happy to be home.

THANK YOU JIM, TRACY, KATIE, CJ, & ROBERT!
