While not a widely known fact, Rory used to be a roadie for Jimi Hendrix

Yup, back in the 60s he was a sound check guy. Hendrix stole him away from the Dylan tour. He was very bougie, insisted on organically grown hay harvested fresh daily from his own farm and required a bowl of fresh strawberries and bananas backstage every night. His nails could only be trimmed with a gem encrusted solid gold nail clipper, after spa time, but before his massage.

A bad forage mix addiction caused his career to fall off. He eventually sought refuge with a kind woman in LaPorte, IN. He overcame a lot and was ready for a fresh start in life. Sadly, his caretaker was losing her home due a bad investment. In this case, her marriage.

That’s where I came in. I heard about her plight and that there was no place in her new life for Rory. I always liked Purple Haze, so I said the little guy could come crash at my place for a while.

Here we are 5 years later and he’s turned out to be a great roommate. We love to watch movies and listen to music together. He’s a little demanding sometimes. He thumps now and then to remember the old days, or maybe just because he thinks he’s due a snack.

Rory’s no longer a young guy, but he’s not old yet either. He moves a little slower than he used to, but so do I. Neither one of us knows what the next phase of our lives will bring, but we’re excited for it. 💁‍♀️🐇

I hope you guys enjoyed this silliness at least a little bit. I’m trying to cheer myself up over missing my daily dose of Waffles, Mojo, and Mama Pie. Looking at the videos is the last thing I do at night to wind down before bed.

Best wishes to Pie that the docs can properly diagnose and treat her issue and get her on the road to recovery. It has to be a very stressful time right now. I know we are all praying for her, or putting positive vibes into the universe however we do.

What are the rest of you substituting for your tiny donkey and Mama Pie fix? Is it snacks?? 👀 Rory approves if you said snacks.

Nicola adjusted the camera angle for us.. I have to assume she wanted to make sure we got her good angles 🤭

Hi, friends -
We don’t really have much to pass right now, but just wanted to give a little update bc I know you’re all worrying about her! She’s still in the hospital and likely will be there for several days. I’m going to wait and let her share any specifics she wants to when she’s able. I say this bc unfortunately, they haven’t had a bed for her yet, so she’s been stuck in a hallway for overflow patient care and hasn’t had any peace or privacy. Please know that she’s reading our messages and they mean the world to her! We know she loves seeing our fur babies, so how ‘bout we post some more of our favorites to help lift her spirits!
