Over the last three years we’ve lost all three of our original kitties, first Griffin, then Stella, then Mickey. The new tenants are:

Gracie, a lab mix that we adopted from the local shelter when she was two. She’s a good dog, just a little excitable.

Nell, a goony little thing. Although she’s now technically an adult she’s still “the kitten.”

And most recently, Bixby the Magnificent. We adopted him when he was nine years old, and he’s still learning to appreciate the other animals. He loves water and will get in the shower with us, which is a little alarming.
