Scribbles 'n Scraps

Just to have a little fun this morning…..

Sweet Lily – 5 days old

Little Rose – 5 Days Old

Bruiser – 5 Days Old

Sweet, Sweet Spot – 5 Days Old

This was supposed to be a picture of BELLA – but apparently we messed up and it’s a picture of Lily again. LOL  – 5 Days Old

Sweet little Emma – 5 Days old

I forgot how much work kittens are. And she has developed a love for the Christmas tree (imagine!) and the fact that the boughs are bouncy and they “play back” with her. So I’m sitting here working and all of a sudden I see the tree swaying and I get up to investigate. I hear soft sounds coming (the kitten doesn’t meow, she whispers or squeaks) from the tree and this is what I saw:

And that ornament that is visible in the picture, was painted by my 10 year old daughter. I wish it was a clearer picture. I’ll try to remember to take another one so you can actually see it. It’s so good.

Everyday I fall in love with our new little girl even more. Maggie has a totally different personality than Max, yet wants to do everything Max does. He took right to her and they play so well together.

Doesn’t she look like a little stuffed animal? I just love her to pieces!!

Pixie

The sad news of Pixie crossing the Rainbow Bridge actually caught me off guard. Our entire family is praying for Daisy and her whole family. Every time you eat a nanner think of Pixie. Go on over to Daisy’s blog and pass along your condolences and your love.
Rest in peace, Pixie
P.S. Tell Bandit we miss him terribly.

We named our new baby girl. Her name is Maggie.  It was actually a toss-up between Maggie and Lily which I also really loved. But Maggie won the majority vote. Max is a pretty proud “big brother”.

I swear we should live on a farm. We are constantly adding new animals to this house. One cat, one dog, one turtle, one bearded dragon and now….

IT’S A GIRL!

She’s a 14 week old Shih-tzu pup. Sweet as can be and one of those impulse buys. Not really, because we had been talking about it, but when we saw her – we had to have her.

She doesn’t have a name….yet. We have a few ideas. I’ll let you know when we decide.

Look what the kids have now!

As if Max, our dog and Maple, our cat weren’t enough in the pet department, apparently we had to go and buy another pet. She’s an aquatic turtle – a Yellow Bellied Slider. Her name is Morgandy, which is Celtic for “little one from the edge of the sea”.

Update: The kids have been busy upgrading her tank with all sorts of neat things they sell at the pet store.

Here is what her tank looks like now:

She’s one happy turtle!

Today our adorable and very sweet and loveable Shih-tzu pup turns on years old. It seems like forever since we got him, but we actually got him at 8 weeks old. So it’s been less than a year.

Here are some pics we took to celebrate! Happy Birthday Maxie boy! We love you!
