Taking a picture woke them up

Buddies Maximilian and Joy

Two chances to trip over a cat on the way down the stairs

Nine-souled Lahn was born for one use -- a use that would destroy him. Created to kill, tiger-souled Vích chose instead to defend and stole her brother away from those who had made them both.

Now their enemies have found them.

Just thought this was funny -- All four girls intent on birds that I think actually already flew away. Haydee, Joy, Morgan, Naamah.

Best friends

My boy, gone an astounding 16 years. He taught me sooo much about training.

Joy has once again reduced her new Lambchop toy to a battered, empty fleece. Took just over a week, but it was nice while it lasted ...

Abandoned in the woods by my house as barely weaned kittes; one might have died if I hadn't had formula in the freezer and a syringe with a nipple attachment.

Buddies

And to think I was concerned that Maximilian might show predatory drive toward the new puppies.

Nope. Not a problem.

Haydee, puppy, and Maximilian, kitten. They're close to the same age, about a year old, and great buddies.

They're getting so big! If you look VERY carefully, you can see there are four puppies in this picture. There's another, but that one is genuinely out of sight here.

Two-week-old Cavaliers

I'm juuuuuust starting to relax about these babies; the littlest ruby girl is finally flourishing after needing to be tube-fed most of last week. Checked her weight at midnight last night and six this morning and she was gaining all by herself, whew!

Five little distractions, two weeks old
