My growing boys having Halloween fun! How small they were when I got them; was told at their first vet appointment that they were 3 weeks old, and Koopa nearly died with failure to thrive and went into hypoglycemic shock.  So glad the boys came into my life and are happy and healthy little...

Pepsi has this odd sore on his paw and of course he won't stop licking it.  It seems to be getting bigger, I think mostly because he's messing with it a lot.  It appears moist in the photo, but that's just because we applied an antiseptic and it was still wet (boy was Pepsi ticked at us!).  It...

They were definitely far too young (the vet thinks they were 3-4 weeks when my son brought them home), and Koopa, the orange one, nearly died.  Happy to report very healthy little boys who are thundering through the house as I speak!

The babies at 6 weeks and on the first day they came home...
