Feeding Frenzy

I don't know what Katie & KJ have named the newest baby kittens...but they are old enough to eat with the big cats! I call the older kitten Baby Black Kitty...

Miss Cuddles

Miss Cuddles sunning in window the other day when it was nice enough to open windows...
the poor dear is getting old like the rest of us...the last 2 nites we have found her laying down with her mouth open drooling...the first time I just kept my mouth shut, KJ found her last nite, so Katie was very tearful & worried. where will we bury her? will the house stink when she dies?
I did some intensive dusting yesterday...maybe that stuffed her nose up. or the 3rd (or 4th?) dose of Frontline bothered her. or she's just old. or she has a cold. I was even thinking stroke last nite... when we petted her, she purred, & she consented to a blanket on her which she usually doesn't do. I figured this morning would be bad, but she was in her usual spot on the couch over Katie's head when I got up...

Mittens

was found dead on a day we didn't have time to lay her to rest...so Katie & Jessie buried her Sunday Nov. 1. The usual burial tree had no spots left, so they picked a new tree. I was so proud of Katie for doing this. She loves her animals & they are lucky to have her!

Possum Holler

Budda has killed one possom & keeps it by her food dish. Haley has 2 dead possums in her pen. think the possoms would learn...

Catty The Catfish

has been with us for some time...he was spotted by Katie on Saturday in a definitely not lively pose. we were getting ready for Koren's reception, so Catty's Burial At Sea was postponed until Sunday when we all got up.
The tank is cleaned & ready for next occupant...
I always enjoyed Catty. Kate was very tired of every fish we put in to be Catty's roommate quickly expiring.

escaped!

kevin said that buddesse got out today, he lured her back in with food.

Sasha Loves Springtime!

evil deb lets her run free outside, burrowing under the porch, chasing cats that are much bigger than she is, getting filthy...she always eventually comes back inside & resumes her civilized life.

Itty Bitty Sasha Rose Dailey

on March 4 Katie adopted a year old miniature daschsund named Itty Bitty from a guy her mom works with. "weiner dogs" are German, bred to catch badgers & other hole dwelling animals. their big rib cage makes their bark especially loud. she has dapples, is very affectionate, loves her belly rubbed, licks everyone, is an excellent guard dog, not afraid of anything (including her new sister Ms. Cuddles), & burrows under covers to sleep. She likes to sit with people in chairs or on the couch. she especially loves her special friend Big Bird.
