Raising and Showing CFA and TICA Champion Devon Rex. Located in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
Many thanks to those who reached out when i lost my sweet boy,Noodles. Apologies for taking so long to give thanks, I have had a really hard time with him leaving me. My heart still aches for him, but the many messages and words of comfort have helped. This pic is our Potato...yes, an odd name for a pretty girl. She is Noodles great-great grandaughter. Curlydolls Trooly Ear Resistable.
This is one of the hardest posts i have ever done and i am having a really hard time finding the words to do this....early yesterday AM, we lost our precious boy, Noodles. (Castilleja's Ear-Resistable Noodles of Curlydolls).
Noodles was 9.5 years old and he came to me at 3 months.
Nood was not only our foundation, and the very first curlydolls, but the sweetest kitty soul i have ever met. He was my very first rosette in a show, he was what really gave me the dream that today IS curlydolls.
He didn't show us he was the slightest bit sick until Christmas day, and less than two very rough weeks later he was gone. He fought so very hard to stay with us, and it absolutely breaks my heart he has left us.
He has left a legacy of beautiful, sweet qnd well loved babies, including the other one firmly lodged in my heart, simba. (For those with his offspring, he did not succumb to anything hereditary. If you have questions, please let me know)
The pics below were only two days before we knew he was ill....and he was doing his favorite thing, cuddling up to momma...
Goodbye, my sweet friend...i love you so very much....until we meet again
Simba is a fan of the tornado light...
Noodles got his turn with the santa hat. ..I think he liked it...such a pretty boy...
Zita helping decorate the tree...
Rockingham making a getaway...
Simba got presents in the mail this week! Thanks eggers ! He loves them!
..the pirate strikes again! ( don't worry guys...my glasses taped in honor of my costume..they are fine!)
Simba won the kitty costume contest at the denver show last weekend! He made a fierce pirate (and had a really cute, if growly mermaid)...he even had pirate b***y!!
Sarah, Tiff and i at the Denver show...sporting kitty ears (even if they look alittle like devils horns)
Simba acting like he got in trouble. it was nice of him to look alittle ashamed for a moment...
Known as Hume here, son of Kara and Billy...Here's Rockingham
Geordie .... Caroling Curly Doll
My precious boy, son of Jubilee and Noodles, went to see Santa in his elf shirt.
After just one week in her new home, Luna Azul is ruling the roost. We think she may have been a wee bit spoiled before we got her.
Today, Toby had some great success with Santa.
Luna is looking like a glamorpuss today!
I love my beautiful Frankie Lynn Sassy Pants 💜
Daisy Mae Kitten-britches 💜
Hume is a big fan of his lickies! .
Went looking for a pic of Dennis and i "doing" Rocky Horror....yeah, i found them, but...also found pics of my original babycat, my first Devon, Eris (Princess Eris Allegra). She was my original heart kitty and still has a very special place in my heart. To her, i owe the special nod of starting this journey. She is one of those I will never forget-she died of a nasty cancer in early 2009 (shortly after Dennis had his stroke and diagnosis of thyroid cancer) and i still get all choked up typing this....here is to the ones you never let go of...
A couple of pics from the CFA Foot of the Rockies show in Denver last weekend

WOOOHOOOO!!!
Got the official letter from TICA saying Buttercup is the BEST DEVON REX INTERNATIONALLY!!! They hold her certificate hostage to be picked up at the annual banquet in Corpus, Labor day weekend.
Also got Deja's for third best Devon Rex Alter INTERNATIONALLY!!
Several weeks ago, we got to attend the CFA Gulf Shore Regional Awards in Houston, Tx. As usual, we drove there (my back is just not a fan of flying). We were able to pick up our Rosette's for our regions best devon rex champion (Buttercup_ and kitten (Kara), and Buttercup's plaque and beautiful Rosette for being our regions 17th best cat in championship. It was also judge Jimmy Thompson's last show, which makes me really sad. He always handles the cats so well and we will miss him (He actually lives in our county, so hopefully we still see them every now and then). We also got to have a lovely breakfast with Rita, and she made us awesome T-shirts.
It was a lovely banquet and a good show.
Every now and then...you get this opportunity to be part of something very special...
Buttercup-RW SGC / RW GC Jobara Princssbride of Curlydolls-is just one of those special characters.
Those who meet her remember her magical personality...with that said, once again huge eternal thanks to Jade Kleider and Barbara Irie for allowing us to be her servants.
Buttercup had a wonderful year, and thanks to the judges who honored us.

Christy also did these drawings of my Simba Roo and Deja Roo for us....they hang over our bed so i can turn my head and smile to always be watched over by them (Like i need that cause Simba is always on top of me going MOM. MOOOOM MOMMMMM. MOM. MOM)
Awwww.....Our friend Christy Clevenger drew us this pic of our pretty girl, Monster for us.. (Curlydolls Unrooly W***h). She is so super talented (and does do custom work for those interested!) Thank you Christy!!!
Had a great time last weekend at the Kat Knappers TICA Show in Costa Mesa, California. Buttercup was anxious to get out for the last weekend of the show season and show her stuff! She had a great time was third best cat in show!!! It was a Pet Expo and we were lucky enough to be right near the door and got to meet with lots and lots of people and show them how cool Devon Rex are. Buttercup is a super ambassador for the breed. She loves to show off and tell people hello. We got to see several of our friends and made some new ones!
Doodle is getting ready to have her first birthday (So is Emmy)...She was practicing by wearing her birthday hat!!!
Received the wonderful cards we won in the Devon Heaven auction in the mail today. They were made by the wonderful Mary Sue! they are so lovely!! Trey and simba loved what they got in the deal too!! A BOX !!!
