Gosh how time flies!
Sorry for the silence! Caitlin, thanks for the comments!

We have a "new" pet to add to our zoo. Her name, after 2 weeks of being called everything under the sun, is Belle. Chris named her this as she loves grits with shrimp broth, which makes her a true Southern 'Belle'. She is growing daily and although we were told she was a lab mix, she has really long legs and an excited personality, so we shall just have to see how she turns out. She is only 15 weeks so has much growing to do.

So in order of appearance
Felix - (King) Cat, male, made the cross country drive with Chris from CA, and rules this zoo.
Oscar - Cat, male, sweetest gentlest most loving cat unless you are a mouse or chipmunk.
Casey - Cat, male, loves to live outside during the day.
Alex - Dog, Alpha male, has been a great sport with Belle, he lets her chew on him then climbs the chair like a mountain goat to get away from her when she gets too much.
Xavier - Dog, male, Litter brother to Alex. Most gentle of all out animals. Had learned to tolerate Belle.
Cleo - Cat, female, commonly known as "The Under the Bed Cat" as she rarely comes out, unless we are having a really load party ??????
Belle - Dog, female, terrorizer of all other animals in this house. Obliterator of branches. Takes baths in her water dish. Cause for constant cleaning of floors!

Quite the zoo! But loads of fun.

Working hard to make ends meet. So far so good. Now if only we could get our tax return filed!
To do list grows everyday but there is always something else that pops up that needs doing. Oh well, all in good time.
