The girl next door

Saphira lives down in Santa Cruz, but she spends a lot of time here. She thought she ran the show here at 227F until Oscar showed up.






She basically still runs the show, and she and Oscar are best buds now.

Our main mammal

I hope Oscar isn't insulted that I put up an inaugural post and it wasn't about him. I'll try to make up for that now.


Oscar was first sighted at 227F on January 5, 2008. He's been seen there most days ever since.

His first adventures upon arriving were documented elsewhere , the little we know about his origin is that he came from Oklahoma, was adopted out of one shelter, and at some future point he was in the possession of animal control and about to be euthanized. That's when he was rescued and trucked out here to CA. We adopted him out of the SFSPCA 2 days later. Adopting him is one of the best things that has happened here at 227F.
