Here are more pics of Margot. She's growing at a fast pace, so enjoy these 'puppy looks' while you can!

For all of you out there who are afraid Owen is being completely neglected with the onslaught of Margot, you're 99% wrong. That 1% is the act of throwing the mouse back and forth because Margot loves Owen's mice about as much as he did.....and even though Owen is fast Margot finds a way to beat him to it. And she's not very nice about sharing the mice so we usually never see it again because she eats it or hides it. Also, Owen doesn't really get fussed at like in the past when he did something wrong, so he's gliding by these days.

Anyways, here are some pics of Owen from the last couple weeks. He's really doing okay, guys...

he loves this window/bench!

looking for Ciara...

showing Margot who's boss

long time no see

Have been a little busy lately so apologies for the lack of posts. Actually planted some new shrubberrreeeees (Monty Python anyone?) in the last few days. Cannot remember the name of the plant, but am hoping all 3 will be able to shield the yard from the underbelly of the deck.

Also, I had to trim my neighbor's Morning Glory vine a couple weeks ago because it was killing my Rose of Sharon, but something interesting happened with the vines I had cut down and thrown in the back of my yard aka my trash pile. Clearly the bloom doesn't realize it has no support anymore as it's just blooming away, about 10 days after it was cut from the fence. I just thought it was really funny seeing as there's no way for it to be alive anymore, yet Margot and I just happened upon a random MG bloom on a morning potty trip out this week. Take a look....
