Pictures from Christmas

Welcome to the Menagerie

We have acquired a new cat. His name is Sport, compliments of all the guys on Mike's job-site in Kaysville. Sport showed up on the job, bedraggled and starved and the guys started bringing him food and eventually named him. He would follow Mike around the job-site just like a dog. The day before Thanksgiving, Mike brought him home, with my blessing, afraid to leave him over the long holiday knowing a huge storm was passing through then. He has taken to our household like he was always a part of it. The only one who has a problem with him is CeCe, Kaylies' cat. To this day, over a month now, she still has violent reactions towards him. So now we have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a lizard. Jilli, our oldest "baby" is 19, maybe even 20 years old and sadly getting closer to the end of hers, though in good health for being so old. It's sad to watch her waste down to nothing even though Mike and I try everything we can to keep weight on her. It worked for a while; now it's not. Our house has been home to cats, dogs, wolf-hybrids, fish, hermit crabs, a tarantula and a bearded dragon. Our kids have a love and respect for animals of all kinds and I'm glad no one has allergies that would deprive us and them of the experiences we've had with them. (Just had to attach some pics of Zorro sitting in the windowsill sunning himself while I washed dishes)
