What a funny puppy she is!!!!

We love our puppy Molly, a.k.a. Little Miss Molly.
Of course she is still all puppy, with all the things that puppies do, but what a character she is. If you scold her for doing one of those things that puppies do, but should not be doing, she actually pouts and turns her head away and will not look at you. Here are a couple pictures that if you are a dog lover you might just get a chuckle out of.

FFF = OH BABY- MY BABIES !

This photo was taken on my first visit with Rylee in Guatemala.
This photo brings back so many memories.
We stayed at the Marriott as most all adoptive parents. It was such an emotional time for me. I think mostly because it was just me and Rylee on this visit. I remember having some concerns before I left... Wondering, could I love this little girl as much as I love my son? Before the point of actually meeting Rylee, I only had photos and I could not bring myself to bond through photos. It all did not seam believable until I saw her for myself. It did not take long AT ALL! My first call home to Craig he asked how everything was going. I broke down in tears and told him "I love this little girl so much!" It was so hard to leave her and the only way for me to keep my sanity was to plan my next visit trip when I got back home. I remember our Dinner time prayer every night always ended with Wyatt saying. "And please bring Rylee home, soon, fast!"
Isn't she adorable!
My little "Sweet Pea" Lion!
Wyatt's first Halloween.
I LOVE this photo!
Huh, it's funny, his favorite animal is the Lion.

This is about the coolest cat EV-ER!

Ceafus has been with us since he was a kitten.

I got him and his brother Bo from a former boss. I did not like him much as a kitten because he would let you pet him and be so very sweet and then turn into a little Jeckle kitty and attack. So many times I wanted to just pop him on the noggin but I knew if I did he would only get worse. I am glad I didn't. Now that I think about it he is at least 6 years old. WOW! He is a miracle kitty. I will tell you why.

We bought our little house in 2001 and within the first year we had gone through several cats. The reason you ask... Our little house is on 6 acres but front and center of our property. Very front and too close to the county road. Most of our cats, like his brother Bo, have been hit by cars. Once we actually lost 2 kittens in one day. We think one got hit and the other one got nosey about what happened to his brother and ended up hit too. After we lost them we decided not to get anymore cats. Luckily we did still have Ceafus.

The reason Ceafus is the coolest cat ever is because he is so much NOT like a cat. He walks around like he's Garfield or something. He does not fear people, the dogs or the goats. He doesn't even Meow normally.

What I love the most about this cat is that he can make wherever he is laying look like the most comfortable spot in the world.

Here's a little Ceafus for your day.
