Princess Buttercup

She loves lounging on this throw. It's acrylic, but it looks and feels like soft fur.

Hello Buttercup!

We will be celebrating Buttercup's 7th birthday soon! We really don't know her age. We adopted her in 2002, and her cage card said she was about 2 years old, so we celebrate her birthday on the first of every year. She came from a very bad situation, and the shelter worked very hard to save her life.

He was trying to climb up on the bed. I love the little pink tongue.

Happiness Is a Furry Friend

"Baby" Sniffles really loves Ernie and since Ernie sleeps a lot, Sniffles crawls in with him. They are both resting their heads on Sniffles' ample backside. Sniffles is about twice the size of the other males.

Got Treats?

Elmo and Belle were giving me the "got treats" look because I walked in the kitchen. Belle will be celebrating her 12th birthday on December 1, 2006 and Elmo is 3 years old.

Telly was just waking up and stretching, so I had to take his photo. He looks like he is doing the senior portrait pose with one hand under the chin. :)

Lance and Sniffles

Sniffles is the newest member of our family and he loves to give kisses.
Sniffles was turned into the ferret shelter by a pet store because he was a very sick baby. The shelter owner nursed him back to health and asked us to take him home and give him a good life. He seems happy here. :)

Oscar


Oscar, photographed by Julianne Gentile.

It was really hot yesterday, so I gave the fuzzies a pool to play in. Most of them just wanted to drink the water, but Oscar dove right in like an otter. :) You can still see the drops of water on his fur in the large version.

Elmo

This is Elmo enjoying the famous sunny spot. This was Baby Kitty's favorite place to sleep.

He looks so innocent here (but it's a trap).

Did Someone Say Cookie?

Belle loves her doggy cookies. She runs in the kitchen and shows us which cupboard to open.

Belle

Another awful groomer decided to shear Belle like a lamb. :( She had a gorgeous long red coat with no knots, but these stupid grommers shaved her anyway.

Cupcake (and Elmo)

Cupcake had another check-up. The prednisone is making her feel better, and she has gained a lot of weight. She went from 16oz to 24oz!

They said he leg looks good, but that she will always have a bit of a limp because it healed a bit off.

She still has little bruises and they said that is because her platelet count is too low, so we have to be careful that she does not play too rough.

The better she feels, the more she wants to get into trouble, so it is a challenge to keep her from acting like a ferret.

Oops!

Elmo exceeded the weight limit on the carton, and it collapsed.

Spring Flowers


Spring Flowers, photographed by Julianne Gentile.

Everything was in bloom at the Zoo. I planned to take macro shots of the flowers, but I thought the blue sky through the blooms was weird enough to be interesting. I did get a few strange looks, though.

My dear friend, Janet, send me this fantastic care package of her amazing glass artwork. I love this little fish. He is just too cool. He reminds me of The Incredible Mr. Limpet!

I took this photo a few days ago. It means so much more now that she is gone. Lance grew up with Baby Kitty and they were always best friends.

Goodnight Baby Kitty

I was with her when she took her last breath today. She was purring right until the end. I looked into her eyes and I saw the life leave them. I will miss her desperately. She was the sweetest kitty ever.

Poor Little Cupcake


Cupcake, originally uploaded by Julianne Gentile.

I haven't posted in forever. Cupcake broke her leg three weeks ago, so I have been spending much of my time caring for her. She recently decided that she no longer wishes to wear her splint, so it is more challenging than ever to keep her out of trouble.
