Monday afternoon, my nephew and his girlfriend – who were in the area briefly – stopped by to visit. With them, they brought…
She’s a 3 month old bloodhound, and she was very well behaved (maybe a little scared). None of the permanent residents wanted anything to do with her, but she got to meet Barnaby, Bubble and Squeek, who thought she was strange and a little interesting (Bubble did give a little hiss, but she didn’t really mean it). Webster and Felix got to meet her, and they were very interested, did some extreme sniffing, and then ran off to play.
They’re all in Maine now (flew back yesterday). I, of course, did not get any pictures of the puppy meeting kittens, or many pictures of the puppy at all. But trust me – it was adorable!

Webster would like you to know that his brudder has a comfy butt.
I’m so glad these boys are going home together – they sure do love each other (when they’re not trying to kill each other, of course. But they do it with LOVE.)
They’re turning out to be fabulous naptime companions, too!

I don’t know what Squeek is thinkin’, but it seems very Deep and Important.
This one, always looking so guilty.
“Lady, I recommend you put me down.” (Squeek)
“Weird lady, put me DOWN!” (Bubble)
Barnaby, Bubble and Squeek have gone back to Brittany as of yesterday afternoon. She says you guys can follow her on Instagram here, and (edited to add) she started a Facebook page here!
Yesterday, being their last day with me, they figured out how to climb up onto my bed. This made it easier to lay and snuggle with them (the bed being so much more comfy than the floor), and so there was a lot of snuggling yesterday morning.
Because I am how I am, I’ve still got pictures of them to share at least through Friday, of course.

Jake on his platform in the kitchen, keeping an eye on someone – probably Alice. He looks super dark here, and at first glance I thought this was a picture of Maxi. Which is ridiculous, because Maxi would never go into the kitchen and hang out up high. Too many cats in there.

It’s in the Bible!
