For Missy, nothing beats snoozing in the sun in Dad's office!

Parker and Snowy are becoming friends, but I didn't expect this.

Our house looks like a preschool. Inside the tube is Missy, our latest rescue cat. Snowy is keeping an eye on her. Our two FIV positive cats have a big age difference - Snowy is 8, while Missy is somewhere in the 1 to 2 year range.

Egads! Dogs and cats living together!
This is Parker, the 11 year old rescue we've had since he was 1, being tolerant of Snowy, who just wants attention.

This is our newest rescue cat, Missy. Our other rescue, Snowy, is FIV positive, and our vet recommended we only pair him with FIV+ cats. I considered it a good omen that Missy is also FIV+. You'd never know it - she's a spunky little thing!

This is Katy, who we lost last year at age 13. She was my walking companion; we walked hundreds of miles together.
In this picture, she was on her favorite chair in my office. I miss her dearly.

This is Parker, our 11 year old rescue dog. We've had him for 10 years, and he's as fearful of strangers now as he was when we first met him. Once he warms up to you, though, he'll sit beside you looking for scratches. He is a very good boy -- he even tolerates our cat, Snowy!

Our Snowy had all of his teeth removed and his gums cleaned out. He looked like a chipmunk for about 2 weeks, but it made a huge difference in his life. I can't imagine how painful eating must have been before the surgery. He's a happy boy now!

Here's the obligatory "cat under the tree" photo. This is Snowy, our rescue cat!

This is Snowy, our rescue cat. He loves to be touched, and his favorite place is my wife's lap. So glad we met him!
