Annie loves eating the tops of cattails
After a big display, Burrito is surprised, and slightly annoyed, to find himself in a cloud of cattail dust

Oh my goodness…precious! :o)
It looks like it is snowing !!
I think Burrito is going to need some help with grooming to get all of that cattail fuzz out of his hair! :) Thank you for the fun pictures!!
Wow that is great JB, they are going to wonder soon why those white fluffy things became so cold…I cannot wait to see their teaction to the first snow! Is it getting pretty cold there at night now, what are the temps, and do they all snuggle with their blankies? Do any of them sleep woth pillows or would they jsut have a big feathery mess like the cattail dust? I was looking at bean bags, I wonder what they would think of a big bean bag chair to relax in, it seems like it would be so comfortable for Negra, on one of her solitary moments, just lying back in a bean bag, I bet she would like that…if I bought one for Christmas, would you be willing to try it out with Negra to start?
Thanks!

Wow do I love the quality of the photos!! These are fabulous JB!!
Great pictures JB!! It looks like Burrito has been in the snow. I can’t wait to see what they do with the first snow. It’s going to be great!
great crystal clear photo of Annie in action – for a split second when I first glanced at this photo, I thought she was putting sofa cushion stuffing in her mouth! and I didn’t know that cattails was a delicacy, she must’ve needed some water to wash it down!!
and I bet that someone had a long tedious grooming session with Burrito!
