We lost our whirly girl today. She used to twirl, spin and jump when she got up in the morning. We’ll miss her sleeping on the couch with her tongue hanging out. She was an old dog when we adopted her and was part of a bonded pair. She is with Leo and her first family. First Otis (see above) and now Roxy. What a crappy week.

So sorry for your loss - losing a pet is like losing a relative.

This is Leo. The most social cat we've ever had. He passed 2 years ago now. Thinking we should get a new feline friend but there's no replacing Leo.

We don't ever replace them, but there is that empty space that could fit another.

We welcomed the newest member to our family after our older lab passed away in May.

Kids are very excited as they've never experienced having a puppy before.

Meet Remington (Remi for short) - 10 weeks old and just shy of 14lbs. Very inquisitive guy, I think he's going to be fun.

My DW went to the organic pet store a few weeks ago, and got some "nose butter" for OCD psycho dog. I assume that it is some kind of moisturizer, but it apparently also contains peppermint oil. When she puts it on his nose, the peppermint must overwhelm his sense of smell because he stops going OCD trying to snort out some imaginary critter hiding under the couch in our living room.....

Just got back from being out of the country. You'd think these turds would be a little more excited to see us.

As far as cats go, I'd guess that one to be quite excited to see you. Its looking at you (without malice) and is attentive in posture.

The dog on the other hand - I think he's pissed at you for leaving and he's studiously ignoring you so you understand his feelings and are more empathetic to them in the future.

So. We took our Mark-I college student niece to "CatFest" here in Denver today just for something to do.

We were *not* expecting or planning to get kittens.

So, we got two kittens.

Say hello to Piper & Bailey.

Two brothers from one of the 20+ Rescue organizations that were at the show.

They're all-around cute as hell.

Max (our orthotic-wearing-because-he-tore-his-Achilles-Tendon 14-year old) ADORES them. Ten seconds in, and he's in love-- he's been trying to be a Cat Dad and mentor them and is already grooming them.

Boo (our 9-year old) is a grumpy bastard at the best of times and is is NOT best pleased (whatever you do, do *not* attempt to pick him up). The Minister of War & Finance even tried to give him brushes and pets in his box in front of the fire-- there were hisses and growls and he generally let us know that he's upset that he wasn't consulted on this decision. He's VERY unimpressed with the new additions to the family.

But, we'll get there eventually. The kittens are in the guest room upstairs for a fair while, and Boo more or less lives downstairs, so we'll integrate slowly.

We've had the terrorists for two weeks as of today, so time for an update.

Honestly? They're pretty damn awesome. And surprisingly well-behaved (although they lose their tiny little minds over wet kitten food.)

Max (the 14-year old orthotic-wearing one) freaking **adores** them (and vice versa).

Boo (the 9-year old) is coming along nicely. We got him a Feelaway pheromone collar and the only thing I can say is "WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW ABOUT THESE EIGHT YEARS AGO???" He's sort of becoming a completely different cat-- almost no hisses or growls, he's showing his belly for pets, and is purring his brains out when he's petted or brushed.

Anyhow, here are a few pics, because who doesn't like kitten pics?

R.

PS: The final picture? That's Max, Piper and Bailey reading the news with me in bed with purrs all around. It was a pretty good start to the morning.

Those kittens are dreamy. My fav of yours is Max. Ours was 2 (or 4) years old, as told by our shelter representative when we adopted her. She is now either 12 or 14. Matters not, we will love her till the end.

PS - I think you said Max is 14 so possibly the same age as our girl.
