4. Hi, texanwitch
and Lil Monkey! :hug: :loveya:

In that photo, Ginger is having a nap after the hard work of consuming two slices of deli roast beef. :rofl:

8. Everything is calm now with the animals. My dog and other cat
have finally made friends with Little Monkey. It was tough for a little while, all that hissing and barking was a little much for me.

10. You must have nerves of steel, gf.
I wouldn't _dream_ of trying to bring another "child" into our family. Ginger would _not_ be pleased. :scared:

I'm glad your dog and other cat have warmed up to Lil Monkey! :hug:

21. Well Tuna sort of gets along with Monkey but the dog plays with the
kitten.

Cats don't seem to like change, but Little Monkey needed a home.

I have been letting Tuna eat the Kitten Chow, that seems to help.

Ginger looks very much at home on that bench in "his" garden. ;-)

:hug: :loveya:

Yes, it's truly his garden. We had that bench made for him, in fact. (He's a little bit spoiled. ;) )

16. Have you ever been "finned" by a 1.5 -foot-long fish?
The kois are pretty good are protecting themselves. Plus, they eat out of our hands, so if a cat puts a little foot in the water, the kois perceive this as an offer of food. :rofl:

26. I think the cats just ham it up.
They always seem to position themselves in the middle of a clump of flowers, making themselves look adorable.

30. He's a boy!
He was named by my German-speaking mother-in-law, who didn't know at that time that "Ginger" usually is a female name. :rofl:

You're absolutely right. He's a big, ol' honkin' _ham_. ;)

He wouldn't want to have to earn a living, clean a house or kill a cow in order to get his own deli roastbeast. Mousing, birding, relaxing and polishing the family jewels are jobs enough for him. :rofl:

I have a love for Irises, but they can't be grown where I live. It is too warm here.

62. Heya Heidi!






I was jus thinkin' 'bout you! How's that studio coming along? All broken in yet?


Hey, that garden is gorgeous. Very tranquil and a wonderful place to meditate, I'll bet. Are those reddish flowers a type of daylily?

And does Ginger ever sit atop the carved stone (wooden?) sculpture (fountain?)? Um, the spherical thing? I think that would make a cool picture too, especially given his coloring.
