Frozen Buddy
Frozen Buddy Helen Weiss The last thing I remember was Jenny and I roaming the walking track beside the pond. It was an unusually cold day and snow was everywhere, but Jenny and I were indestructible and knew the path well. We walked it every day; me in Jenny’s backpack.

Fairweather of the Bark Endeavour
Here on the balmy island of Tahiti, a stopover on our expedition of discovery, the ship moored for repairs. We found English dogs of the bloodhound variety. My comrades Chester and Lady were Mr Banks’ greyhounds and even though I was the ship’s cat, we had already decided to coexist on such a small ship. She was the Endeavour, filled with officers, scientists, military chaps and botanists, with the addition of my Captain Cook. We were commissioned to track the Transit of the planet Venus across the face of the sun from this very spot.
