Happy Half-Year Birthday Tootsie!!!!

Tootsie (aka Tooter, Tudy, and Little Chit), the latest addition to our household, is 6 months old today. She was born 5 Feb 2008, and she came into our home on 6 April 2008. She has been a real treat. She's cute, rambunctious, diminutive, and curious about everything around her.

The picture is of Tootsie and Merlin. (Merlin's our oldest of three dogs.) Tootsie can often be found cuddling with Merlin, Woody, or the humans of the house - my husband Frank & me.

Tootsie gets along with our in-house cats (for the most part). Tootsie jumps all over Arrow - our 22 pound white 'n' black cat. Arrow tolerates it. No, she actually seems to like it - up to a point. I think Arrow considers it a massage - until Tootsie starts tugging on her ears. That's when Arrow may try to get away. Tootsie doesn't jump on or play with the other cats. I guess she has learned who she can or cannot pester. It amazes me how new animals find their place in the family.

I could write so much more, but there will be plenty of time for that in the future. We look forward to many years of Tootsie's companionship. We love you Tootsie.
