Terror in the Morning
This is what awaits me each morning! Don't be afraid, as long as you feed them before you attempt to do anything else, you will survive. I hear them from upstairs before I even open my eyes.

Rascal bids the kids goodnight
A few years ago we brought home some cats. Dreams of lovable furry teddy bears to cuddle with at night, or lay curled up on our toes, keeping our feet warm and lulling us to sleep with their purrs floated around in my mind.
