New Family Dynamics




 Apparently I have a big "S" on my forehead (sucker).  First it was that sweet little 7 week old kitten who is now just shy of 7 months and growing like a weed.

Welcome!
Don't water this plant!





Considering that all the cats that moved up here with us in 2005 have since crossed over the rainbow bridge, the addition of this little black buzzsaw probably makes good sense.  HOWEVER,

 Now, please allow me to introduce you to the latest addition to the family ...

Inseparable playmates

The puppy was dumped a little over a month ago.  The lady who found him fell in love with him but was unable to keep him.  I happened to see a color photo of him and he looked just like Katie did when she was a pup.  That was my undoing.  The lady brought him to the house to see how and if he'd fit in and that was it; he was home.  I purchased a new collar for the Invisible Fence; he suffered the one requisite learning experience (or, as I call it, a frontal lobotomy) and he's now quite content to stay within his designated area.


This is it.  This is our family today.  And I'm thoroughly enjoying them.  Katie has accepted the new ones, even engages in play with them on occasion although she prefers to just watch.  The two little ones have become best of friends.  They race, they chase, they tumble and wrestle, and they nap together.  She's had her surgery and he'll have his next week.  They're slated for their shots and their chips.  They've found their Forever Home.  Meanwhile, life here is no longer quiet and it isn't dull by a long shot but it's certainly full of laughs again.  

By the way, I am having the "S" removed from my forehead - surgically if necessary.  I'm quite sure this menagerie qualifies as a 'full house'.

  2. Thank you! I think he was meant to be a part of this menagerie. The other two and I are really enjoying him.
