Meet our new BUDDY!


We fostered a beautiful golden retriever after he lost his family to the foreclosure crisis. He is such a sweet boy that loves everyone - we love him right back and decided to make him a part of our family.

Kittens!




Our kitty, Patches, had a litter of kittens on Sunday/Monday. She had six, but two didn't make it. The first 4 were delivered by Dr. Doolittle (aka Sheldon) because she was having trouble. We thought that she was done and left her alone with her new family and early the next morning she delivered the last two. Two of them are tortie gals, like their mom and the other two are presumed males (we're hoping) one black and one buff colored. The oddball buff colored guy was born with a broken tail - like his dad, whose name is ZigZag because his tail is broken in six or so different places.

Happy 9th Birthday, Abby!





Abby turned 9 on January 26th! (Can you believe it??) She had a super day that included an adorable new birthday suit, (that's what the kids call the new outfit they get the morning of their birthday.) a bunch of cool gifts (including her fave - a new MP3 player!) and a family party complete with a puppy paw print cake and puppy decorations! The top picture is Abby sporting her new sweater and hat that Grandma Penrose knitted just for her!

SNOW!


The kids were so excited when they got a snow day in December. We actually had two days of snow, the first day we got about 6 inches, and the second day we got 3. I had to go buy gloves - we're so not prepared for winter weather!
