My Furry Children

Our furry children have been with us for over 13 years now. Even though they play second fiddle to our human children now, they are a special part of our family. 

Tomas is a bit of a scaredy cat. He spends his day sleeping on the towels in linen closet or, when he is feeling more confident, laying across our bed. It has taken him 9 years to trust the girls enough to let them pet him (as long as they do so in silence and without sudden movements). When the girls go to bed, he comes out of hiding and snuggles in between Tony and I. He fixes his body and stretches out his paws so he is touching one of us at all times. All the snuggling he does at night just about makes up for the shenanigans he pulls in regards to the non-use of his litter box!






Picabo is the queen. She thinks the people who come to our house are coming to visit her, the board games we set up require her to sit in the middle, and the puzzle pieces we have on the table are meant for knocking off. She is feisty and lovable and knows how to relax. I often say that she is my stress management role model. 


Today I am grateful to have furry children in my life. They bring so much love into our home!
