They grow up so fast. Higgins is already 6, or is it 7? most old. Such a beautiful boy. 

I heard a giant splash and this is what I found. Everybody seems to think the toilet has the best water. Maybe they just like the swim. 

Easy Mac knows nappin' 

This is the sight that you're generally greeted with when you walk in our front door. I love kittens. 

On the weekends it's hard to get even the dogs to do anything... 

Finally, a picture of our new puppy, Higgins. He's exactly what happens when my daughter says "Can we go in Petsmart? We've never been there before." 

I go to vacuum the bedroom and come back to find Ripley doing puppy-shots! 

Apparently Miss Cindy has a wildside. Who knew??? 

Luna loves eating pizza, but she's not much help when you're making it. The kids kept talking about kneeding dough and Luna sure thought she NEEDED it. She makes a heck of a flour catcher.

Ripley will do anything to get inside. 

Mimosa broke her leg when she was 5 weeks old. For two months she lived with the bone sticking through her infected skin. We took her in so weak she couldn't argue with being held though she hadn't been able to be touched by a person in such a long time. Her leg healed and she's now slowly working her way into being friendly with people again. Her favorite place is in Em's room with Cutter. 

C.C. Polecat aka Cutter was found hanging on to the power pole outside our house late last summer. She has since taken up permanent residence on Emily's bed. 

Gimli (1yr old lab) getting a little couch time with Em (9) and Jake (7) He might be big but he is still convinced he is a lap dog. 

Allie is our number one helper with the new fosters. She takes them under her wing (or haunches?) makes them feel loved, and at home.  

Buddy - we have no clue what kind of dog he is. He was living here under the house when we moved in. Covered in ticks and horribly abused, he's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. 

Here's one for the puppy porn category. We call it Luna in Clover ;) 

Yep, it's true. I am the proprietor of this cat house - though it looks like Fatty thinks she's the one in charge. 

This is Calliope - Doug's dog. Actually, she'd probably be any man's dog because she appears to love men above all else. She's the loose woman of our puppy dog world. Calliope is a world class fetcher - no other dog, not even our Lab, Gimli, can beat her to a ball. She loves belly rubs and head sitting. You gotta love her. 

Lacy, our 13 year old basset. I'm convinced that whoever drew eeyore was looking at a basset hound. 

This is Juno's Little Luna May, my baby dog. She will be 3 years old in March. She thinks she's the biggest thing ever built. And completely insane. Is no wonder we call her Luna-tic. 

My own little Luna - the dark side. My daughter caught her sleeping and posed her so she'd look as ferocious as Luna seems to think she is. 

Here's our sweet Corri dog getting her merry on for the holidays.  

My son Jake (7) with our super snuggly, big dog, Gimli. 

Our house is filled with such talented dogs. Here's Peanut's rendition of Little Red Riding Hood. He received many standing ovations and several calls for an encore performance. 

Happy Valentine's Day from Miss Cindy. It takes her a while to get anywhere so she's starting early.
