I'm still around and I appreciate you all so much for thinking about me and remembering me. Over the last few months, I've been dedicating myself to my photography and to supporting my sweetheart overseas in Iraq. He's still doing ok, but I miss him like crazy. I worry every day about him, but we are both hanging in there.
Here are a couple of updated pictures for you all.
Me and the boys.
Can you believe how big Cooper is? He's so long that his tail practically reaches my knees when I hold him on my shoulder.
And here's my sweet Thomas who has become my shadow. He is always right under my feet. He's a huge luv bug!
And this is Dan, my sweetheart. He sent me this picture last week to show me that he had named his armored personal carrier after me. (this is his nickname for me)
And for those interested, here's a link to my online photo gallery: Robin's Gallery
My photography has really taken off and I'm beginning to get a lot of people asking me to do pictures. I was even published on the front page of the newspaper two weeks ago! That was a first for me and I was very excited!
Robin - Ihave been thinking about you a lot! Especially with those two furbabies of yours, my goodness they are so big and beautiful!
Your darling is in my thoughts as he is in Iraq - I know iti s not easy being away frm your loved ones, I havent seen Jake for a month as I am now in New Zealand and hes still in Asheville but we will see each other for christmas and I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But he will go back and then finally return in May!
My other three kitties are doing fine also. Leo is still the same....basically he could double for a throw pillow. (he rarely leaves the couch!) Shelby is fine, although she's beginning to get a bit grouchy that the boys don't take her "authority" serious anymore. She's losing her grip on being the boss of the house and she doesn't like it one bit! The boys crack me up! They mess with her just to make her mad....and boy does she get mad! She'll hiss and swat at them and they just run away and hide....only to sneak up and pounce on her again! Haha! I laugh at them so hard when they do that because they aren't hurting her or anything, they're just being mischievous boys who enjoy harrassing their favorite aunt.
Abby is doing great. She looks so pretty now since she's put on some weight and filled out a bit. She was so skinny after she had the boys (weighed only about 5 lbs) that I thought she just didn't look very healthy. Now that she's been fixed and is living the life of luxury, she has filled out nicely and is just beautiful. She's still fairly petite, but I think she's up to about 9lbs now. The boys are at about 13 lbs each. Thomas is strong and stocky and Cooper is very long and lean....but they weigh the same. They don't even look like they are related. They do still have a very special bond though and often bathe each other and play together all the time. Abby seems to still hold a grudge against Cooper though. Ever since that time immediately following her spay, and while Cooper was still in his drug-induced stupor over being fixed, he tried to snuggle up to her and it infuriated her! I don't think she has ever forgiven him for that and still shuns him every time he tries to get close to her. She definitely shows favoritism with Thomas!
Anyway, I guess that's about all the news for now. I will try and put some updated pictures of everybody in the next day or two.
