    This cat doesn't look like it has to pretend. He has a fierce look.

    wonderful, wonderful

    kitten is doing fine if not a bit peeved (at the dogs of course) thanks for asking, I drew her drenched because we had a rare downpour.

    I know, I know he's a lab, but he could have left us a sliver, just a skinny, little sliver. e

    Hi Laurel,
    I just got your comment and Bailey the Lady Bug is indeed a new member of the family. She's a long haired fawn chihuahua. She's been very good for mending the heart! :)
