The Greatest Picture in the History of Ever

Oh yeah, and we still have cats...

Mommy! Two Kitties!

I was doing dishes and Bear called to me "Look, Mommy! Two kitties!!".  He was so excited that he was petting BOTH kitties at the same time.  Most of the time they are smart enough to avoid his kind of attention :)

Luna's whole life was made happy when Birdy stayed home sick for 3 days. Birdy is still her very favorite person, and she has been missing her morning cuddle since Birdy started going to school.  

Furbabies

Warning: This blog is about our pets. Seriously. I just thought I'd warn you and possibly head off the mockery. Possibly. We have become THOSE people. You know, pet people who consider their pets as bona fide parts of their family. Get over it :)
The way I go on about the Third Child, people are suprised to find out that we also have a cat. This is Ollie- our original Furbaby. He is about a year older that EJ and is completely in love with DMP. He would love nothing more than for me to kick the bucket and leave him to be with DMP in peace.

He is in his lap for most of his 6 hr. nightly shift. The second DMP looks like he might be waking up, Ollie is there, begging for loves. Mostly I tolerate him- it isn't fun being the one that is being "shoved out" all the time. DMP loves him, though so I guess he can stay.

Look at this look of total adoration:

The funny joke is that he has his boyfriend and I have mine. We are often found with our respective boyfriends watching TV or reading. I guess things are equal, then.

Speaking of boyfriend, look how cute mine is! He is much cuter in real life. Usually every picture we take makes him look like an ugly, buggy eyed chihuahua which he totally doesn't in real life.
Oh, and I had to share his latest humiliation. EJ got a "happy birthday" accessory set from Build a Bear and we couldn't help but try it on Chester. Poor Doggie.

And.... We're Back!

A full vacation report is coming, but we are back home safely after a LOOONG drive yesterday. Ollie is very relieved we are back to love and feed him (every time we leaves he thinks he is done for this time for sure!).

We got back last night at midnight (!) to one very, very happy Chiuhuahua. He is too small to contain the excitement of having his family go. We can't open the car door without him jumping in and refusing to get out until he sees that we're all going in the house together!

It is good to be home!
