Breakfast!

 

Santa was good

 

Perfect!

 

Happy birthday!

I started this blog 13 years ago today when Riley was only a few months old. And I have enjoyed it so much.

Here's to 13 more!

He's my brother

 

Rest your weary head

Macro

 I recently bought a macro lens for my iPhone and it has opened up a whole new world for me.

Happy International Dog Day!

 

My favorite

This has to be my favorite picture of the triplets. I had it made into a canvas print and it hangs in our dining room.

More owl pictures

I've been putting out pans of water for the birds and animals who are suffering in this sweltering Arizona heat.

The owls have decided they like our yard now too and have been visiting every day. One of them likes to stand in the water. I keep trying to get a picture of that but he flies away every time before I have a chance.

I'm determined to keep trying.

We have triplets!

It's my understanding that this is unusual.

It's also hard to get a good picture of all three together.

Happy birthday, Bella

 Bella is 8 years old today.

Where did the time go?

Wasn't she just a wee little baby?

Happy birthday, Chaz!

Our handsome boy is 12 years old today.

Happy birthday, sweet boy!

Owl friend

 

Happy birthday, Sean!

Sean is 9 years old today.

He's not a little baby anymore.

Happy birthday, Riley!

Riley is 13 years old today.

Riley was orphaned as a kitten and hand-raised and bottle-fed. Because of that he is a real people cat. He loves to snuggle and and has the best purr. 

He was John's buddy.

Happy birthday, sweet boy.

Sean update

 

Sean has had a rough few months. Without going into too much detail he has had to go to the vet a couple of times for enemas and medication, and he has been vomiting way too much.

We decided to do an ultrasound to see what the problem was.

Luckily, the diagnosis was severe irritable bowel disorder. I say luckily because it could have been worse and this diagnosis is treatable with medication.

He has responded very well to diet and medication.  

Our sweet boy is feeling much better.
