boys & their "babes"...

Is that a catchy title or what? =)
Bet it got your attention though...

I thought since I shared somewhere and with some people about Ryan's kitten, I would post a picture of his "baby" here.



This is Donna.
Ryan absolutely adores her and is very protective of her!
Honestly, I think it is very cute, sweet, & helpful to him. He has never bonded with one of our pets before and then this kitty follows him home one day. She was meant to be his and he takes this ownership very seriously. =)
In fact, Ryan left for Scout Camp this morning and all the week leading up to this he had been losing sleep due to worrying about how Donna would be in his absence. I am serious! I reassured him that she would be protected and I would personally take care of her. That was somewhat good enough, but he still worried....I am sure he is still worrying and she will be the FIRST thing he checks on when he walks back in this house on Saturday afternoon.
I love this kid!


To the right, you find Patrick's "baby".
This is Susan.
She is one of the puppies born to Patrick's other dog, Sadie. She in fact was the only brown one.... She is the really good one too.... the most mellow.... the most loving.... exactly what you would love to have in a dog. And she has those unbelievable "puppy eyes". You can't help but fall in love with her! =)
We are trying to find homes for her three sisters, who are black like their dad, but everyone wants Susan. She's that sweet =)
Patrick gets to keep this puppy as part of his birthday present. We are going to be letting momma dog go to another family due to some issues she has.
