Happy Dogs And Cats

Little Daphne was channeling her inner wolf as she howled in fun:

 Seamus and Fergus were hoping I'd give them some kind of treat:

 Bugsy, Clover and Bramble shared the kitchen corner dog beds and floor pillows:

 Little Jack appreciates the good life he now has. It wasn't always so, as the first part of his life was not so happy:

 There is a lot of fun to be had when there's new snow on the ground. Alas, I keep thinking of all the poop I'm going to have to clean up in the spring:

 When the snow gets too deep, the dogs cluster at the end of their ramp:

 But the preferred spot is the kitchen corner. All five dogs are in this group: Seamus, Clover, Fergus, Daphne and Jack:

 This is the face of Bugsy, the teenage troublemaker. You can see the mischief in his facial expression:

 And Daisy, the luxurious lap-cat:

 Georgette seldom leaves her bed on the kitchen table, and especially not when Bugsy is lurking in the background. She doesn't trust that young whippersnapper:

 Bramble wanted some closeup attention while Jack, Daphne, Clover and Fergus watched from their comfy floor pillows. If you look closely, you can also see the black fur of Bugsy in the corner:
