Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

Had the same experience with our old puss several years ago. Glad Ringo turned up--you don't realise how much animals mean in your life until something happens to them.

What a great happy-ending story - thank you for sharing it with us.

That's a really lovely story to go with a really lovely picture. I've had cats stage breakouts before but your story is better than any of mine (hell, one time it turns out Kelly was just hiding in the attic, I think she intended to make a fool out of me). As for the photo itself, it's the perfect example of a less-than-perfect-quality image that deserves a 5 for sheer emotional impact. This is the genuine article here, real love and friendship. Merry Christmas.

That is a very wonderful photo and a lovely story for the holidays. Living in Montana I have had my share of missing cats,some I never have seen again,so I am thrilled for you.

I've got tear running down my cheeks, Kimarie. I had the same experience when I was a kid. I know the agony, the fear, the hope that keeps you looking for the missing one. I know the joy, the relief, the love in your heart on the return of Ringo. What a wonderful photograph, what a wonderful Christmas. Have a very happy New Year, all of you.
Mad-Mike
Awwww a very precious and adorable photo! and I do not blame you for cherishing it so much :-) Have a cool New Year! and keep that kitty in dang it lol!

Wonderful photo of Janel's love and happinrss to have her darling back. Speaks volumes and she is so sweet in her red dreass. Guess this was the best gift for her.
Shardz
Kimmers! Well, I'm glad there was a happy ending to the story here as I haven't been as lucky in the past! Lil' Ringo probably used up one of his nine lives on that little adventure, but he's safe at home now. Let's hear it for Starkist tuna! I think that stuff has gotten more cats out of trouble than anything else!! LOL! I wish you a very Happy Holiday season, Kimmers, and perhaps you can put up a tutorial on how to actually give a cat a bath - I'm stumped on that one. LOL! Excellent capture and Happy New year to you!
DennisReed
What a wonderful Christmas story! Plus I love happy endings! Wonderful capture of Janel and Ringo! :)
