Simon At 8 Months

Magic Strikes

That was my little puffball, Simon, 8 months and one day ago. He is growing into quite a beauty, don't you think? Quite the young man. My goodness, time has gone by so fast. I am so glad we brought him into our life! I am so glad that his momma gave birth right next door, so that we could once again, have the sounds of bells running through the house. When Tyler came along, life only got better! Something I didn't even know was possible! Now, however, Joey has a case of the Green-eyed Monster, so we are navigating that, but I know we will work it out, all of us, together, as a family.

The Brothers

"Ignorant people think it is the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it is the sickening grammar that they use."

~Mark Twain

The brothers are coming along fine, in fact better than I ever thought they would! Joey and Hendrix became playmates almost immediately, which took a lot of pressure off of Dylan, who isn't the most social cat I have ever known. In fact, Dylan prefers to do a lot of sleeping or cuddling, but rough, rowdy play wrestling or boxing simply isn't his style. But I must say, since Joey's arrival, he is participating in group playing more often. Dylan likes chasing the laser mousie, and he will fetch the balls with the bells, which is called DillyBall in our house! LOL. Joey has brought out the play in Dylan, and that makes me very happy. And Hendrix, who is the alpha male, he has a new little person to watch over, and he is very happy to do so. 

Ours is a happy house!
