Introducing our new fur baby:🌟Stella🌟
We adopted 7yo Stella 3 weeks ago. She's intelligent, eager to please, a bundle of energy, full of personality, snuggly, & very in-tune with my moods. She’s always trying to read me & gazes into my eyes for a long time, not breaking eye contact. 😍🥰❤️🌟

Egg 3 is pipping!
Fun footage of parents’ “changing of the guard” and interactions with eaglets in a snowstorm.

As I lean into a "sense of the delightfully irresistible," my joy this week has been Pip Watch for Big Bear Lake's eagle pair, Jackie & Shadow. Three eggs this year. And early this morning, two eaglets hatched! 😍
