Cat-ching up with the Kit and Kaboodle!

I have been a bad, bad blogger. Life caught up with me, I slowed down with my posting and I got writer's block. 

Or was it stage fright?

Good old fashioned procrastination?

Regardless... 

Or irregardless!!! I stopped writing and posting. And this must stop. Or start. Or.....

Gah! Just get something down on paper.

Here we go!

We are a three pup house. 

Jamboree, Mama Jalapeño and Joseppe

Last I wrote we were down to five puppies. That weekend a lovely young couple from Oahu flew in to meet Lite Green Jelly Bean. Sunday they flew home with her and our lil Lite Green became Jolene Jelly Bean. 

I'm ready to check out the pup-ulated island!

Forty winks to get me ready for my trip.

Necessary beauty sleep!

And getting some last minute chewing in.

I'll miss the Big Island.

And we will miss you, Jolene Jelly Bean!

Jolene inherited my Indian eyes!

One last cuddle...

Los ojos - profundos y misteriosos...

Lil Ms. Blue and Captain Black also headed home that weekend.

Getting some last minutes of puppy love.

Lil Ms. Blue will miss splashing in her water bowl!

I'm still clean. It's only water!

And just hanging on the lanai with her peeps.

The lanai will not be the same without me.

The pups hung out together that morning for the last time.

Who is leaving? When? Why?

Black and Blue together never looked so good....

Double the cute.

They were a little concerned they would miss the other puppies.  I did tell them about this blog.

But I don't know how to read!

Your daddy will show you pictures Lil Ms. Blue.

Oh, OK. I feel a tad bit better!

I will still miss everyone though.

Lil Ms. Blue feelin a lit blue....

Last afternoon nap together.

It's time to go!

Wait. What? Now? So soon?

We don't have to like it but we know we will!

Good bye kisses!

And then we were three.

There's a lot more room around here.

Plus our two kittens.

We approve of this change. Nine was too many!

Jamboree is still a sweetie.

That's what she says, anyways!

While Joseppe stays busy getting dirty crawling under the jeep.

The bottom of the jeep is cleaner!

And life in La Casita Verde continues.

We're pretty used to each other....

There's a lot more room to chase tail...

Got it!

And to just hang out.

Or pointedly ignore....

And everyone is happy.

Sissy-PUSS-Puss enjoys the afternoon sun.

And relaxed.

Turtle being Turtle.

The puppies know how to sit and follow, sit and follow.

Puppy math: sitting = treats!

The kittens discovered the toilet paper.

They always do!

Two puppies came back and left again. More on that next time! Plus birthing videos. Kittens escaping whelping box videos. Pups going to the vet and getting baths photos and videos and lots of other cute fun stuff!
