more of margot

Here are some photos of Margot's second week with us. She's adjusting quite well and let's just say Owen's coming along...

hello margot

Got a new addition to the family over the weekend, folks. Her name is Margot and she will be 13 weeks this Thursday. She was one of seven pups born to a Cocker Spaniel/Border Collie mix and we believe (from seeing pics of her siblings) that the father was an Australian Shepherd mix. She's a couch dog who loves belly rubs, trips to the yard, watching Owen and most of all, her new daddy. Seriously, she's attached to him. It's pretty unbelievable...

Owen on the other hand....well, let's just say he's slowly adjusting to the notion of having a little sister. I know Margot longs for the days when they can be BFF, but she'll probably have to wait a while for that to happen....

cool birds

I've seen a lot of hummingbirds lately. It's getting to the point where I see at least 1-2 a day at each feeder. Yeah, I'm bragging. I can't tell you how cool it is to see those little things zip in, drink the nectar and zip off. I even went as far as attaching a feeder to our back window so that Owen could see them up close and personal. All day long he sits perched atop the back of the couch, staring out the window just to see them swoop in. Ahh the joys of being an indoor cat. By the way, I believe the ones pictured below are female Ruby-Throated hummingbirds...

what's the story, morning glory?

Sorry - it's been a while since I've had a chance to post. But I'm back now and ready to go! Here are some shots of a beautiful Morning Glory vine that my neighbor "shares" with me on our shared fence. Lucky for me though because most of the blooms face my house!
