My Newest Additions

12/16/2008 I have always been an animal person. Animals never care if you look like hell or are cranky or feel too sick to move. They are there with lots of furry comfort and, somehow, that can make a horrid day quite a bit better.

Well, I lost my beloved dog, Skilo in the battle for freedom. To help my boys (and me) with the loss, we went out to "look" at kittens. Another thing I've learned, one does not simply "look" at kittens. One purr, one tiny paw patting my face and I was doomed. "Only one" I intoned. "Only one" The echo of that futile decree echoed behind me in the pet shop as we marched out the doors with two kitties. Sigh. I'm SUCH a marshmallow.

Never-the-less, the joy and laughter this pair of clowns has brought to the house is well worth my damaged sense of motherly control. Guinness, the female (aka Guinney-girl) is the adventurer, the troublemaker, the scamp. Baxter, the male, is the most snuggly, cuddly, good-for-the-soul animal I have ever owned. Together they are trouble and love rolled into one. They are awesome.

So, introducing, the terrible twosome -- Guinney and Baxter!
