A Boy & A Longsuffering (& Clowinsh) Cat

Apparently, yesterday was portrait time for Ben. Mom allowed him to grab the nearest prop he could find, Anna's Kittie. Some rather humorous pictures were the result!

*note: Kittie actually enjoyed the pictured activity. She was purring the whole time.

Her name is ............. Clara? Nephertiti? Dustie? Kitty?

Anna hasn't decided on a name yet!

Duchess

Anna received her Christmas present today.
Duchess.
She is a 22-month old border collie, and she is very well trained. And she loves to herd us. And guard. And she is much more lively than Happy, our yellow lab . . .

And we got our Christmas tree! Put it up tonight, with lights, and will decorate tomorrow . . .
