Two sweet little male orange kittens that the boys have named Tiger and Tom. Thanks Uncle Vic & Auntie Sandra!

Taking a cat nap ...

... and yesterday, thanks to Uncle Gil & Auntie Deb who brought us a very well trained little female black lab whom we named Misty (it suited the weather the day they brought her):

Training and caring for these purr-fect pets will be good character training for our boys in return, I'm sure. It is nice to have time to enjoy these niceties of life.
