Circus Update

With so many 4-leggeds and so much love to show them, I found that - once again - I couldn't fit all the pictures in an integrated, human-centric post. So we present yet another dedicated post to the 4-legged critters who outnumber us, out-shed us, and sometimes outshine us.

Brianna has been with us for over a month now and is getting along very nicely. She even showed her true kitty colors climbing on tables and counters.

"Look, mom, I'm a REAL cat!"

With an open window or some bribe treats, the other kitties and Bri get along swimmingly!

Love to the other kitties:

sweet snugglers

princess on her stack of blankets

(Name that movie reference.)

kitties behaving badly

Finding 4 kittens calmly resting in the same space has been extremely exciting!

There's just so much love to give, especially when they come to work with you!

We transition from kitties to puppy:

always proud of my brave Maggie when she can share the bed so nicely

Dewey and Reggie have a "special" relationship. Reggie tries to eat Dewey. Dewey yells at him and doesn't run away. Dewey often smacks back.

This time, Reggie won.

We transition from puppy to hamster:


At the end of October, big girl Reggie celebrated her very first birthday! She certainly demands more attention than the other 5 animals combined, and we love her.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
