We have now added to our family.

About 4 days ago, Micah came home with 2 calico kittens he had found roaming near Dairy Queen. We cleaned them up. We had to take them to the vet. So now they look much prettier than when we found them. Micah named the callie/tortie mix Trixie and his friend Alex named the pure calico Lily. I was wanting calicos and now I have them. :-)

Not to be outdone, Steve went out and bought Weasel, a ferret. She is playful and we are training her not to bite.

Pictures shortly.

Tom is around a lot but we also have been sharing him with another family. We have no idea who they are but they thought he was a stray, I guess, and put a flea collar and rabies vaccine tag on him. When we lived in F-town, we sort of shared him with the Rumpings this way. He is just not a one-family cat. Philanderer! Anyone with fresh fish and he's there. I wrote a note to the "other family" and attached it to his collar, but he pulled it off. I am going to have to write another one, enclose it, and attach it more securely. We are offering to share but, since Micah loves that cat so much, not cede ownership entirely. I will offer to pay for his vaccine. But I do know he has his affairs. He loves easily and for food.
