By the way.....it's SNOWING AGAIN!!!!

This is the new toy I ordered for the 'kids' because the weather has been so terrible they haven't gotten to go out for more than half an hour for a few weeks (and that only lasted one Monday).

All three were within 3 feet of each other without fighting. Bogie and Noel were both very interested, but didn't want the other to be, so there was a little tussle about that. Bogie was more active both days since we've had it (and worn out one set of batteries already).

It's snowing small snowballs!

Here's what the weather looked like out the kitchen/patio door at 3pm today. This morning we had medium-heavy rain, which turned to snow about 11am. It's now 28 degrees now and the dog just slipped off the second step out the patio door.

My knight in shining armor was here scooping late this afternoon, but assured us he'd be back in the morning to clean up whatever was left.

Rainy (and now snowy) days and Monday!

This is Queenie, who is now almost 9 years old. Apparently, she was either trying to get some lap time (she saw her younger, larger brother do that) or point out which parts of the desk are messiest!

She's in charge and doesn't let Bogie bully her. When he tries to play or bite her, she smacks him, and waltzes away (rarely does she run from him). Queenie also loves to bully Noel, though. We've only had Bogie two years, and I never had three cats before that, so I'm not sure if there's always a pecking order or not.
