Snapshots From A House Full Of Pets

With five dogs and five cats in the house, it's never too peaceful or free of floating pet hair. This photo was taken at the bottom of the stairs, where Daphne, Daisy, Clover and Seamus were collected. Behind them, in the kitchen, were Fergus and, barely visible in the corner, Bugsy:

 The kitchen corner is and probably always will be the most popular spot in the house and the best place for photos (except that it's not well lit, even with the floor lamp). This collection is Rocky, Seamus, Fergus and Clover:

 When I go upstairs, I am preceded by Jack, Fergus, Daphne and Clover. They wait for me and for Seamus. Both of us are becoming rather slow in our old age:

 Again in the kitchen corner: Daphne, Clover, Fergus and Rocky:

 Daisy, one of the cats who was dumped off at my barn. She became very ill and I struggled for months to save her. She seems healthy now except that her infected eye is still a bit misshapen and she sometimes rasps when she breathes. But she's active and happy and certainly gaining weight:

 Fergus and Clover on the bed I made out of a big laundry bag filled with pillows:

 Daphne, peeking out from behind a kitchen chair, with Bramble hiding back by the water bowl:

 Bugsy, the former kitten who was dumped at my barn along with Daisy. He's now a teenager, full of mischief and sometimes affectionate, sometimes not - but always playful:

 Seven out of ten pets: Daphne, Seamus, Clover, Bugsy, Rocky, Jack and Fergus. The only ones missing in this snapshot were Georgette, Daisy and Bramble:
