Our Animal Family





I just spoke with Lettie and realized many of you have not met our "other" family. You know...after the kids leave we still need someone or something to care for, so here they are! Al and Butch (our cats) are still alive and kicking. They have accompanied us from Minnesota to Texas to New Mexico and haven't missed a beat. Al has scared us a couple of times by escaping and spending a night or two outside. Around her cats are Fillet Mignon for the coyotes, so the old boy has done well to survive...so far. Butch is afraid of his own shadow, so he would not think of going outside.

Then there is Miss Lucy and Miss Sallie. Miss Emma met her maker a few months ago and Lucy was so lonely that we had to find her a playmate, and Sallie fit the bill.

Are we crazy to have four animals? Yep, but how else can we fulfill our parenting need (short of bringing in foster kids)?
