Our tiny kitty cat…

So, we haven’t put up pictures of the monster for a while, and the cat let her hold him so… (DUCKS)

OK, so remember when he was small and cute? Like this?

Yeah. He’s not so little anymore. And thinks he’s Top Dog. Thing is, he’s right. *L* Here’s Ace, 2 years old and, well, not so little anymore…

But still cute. And pretty tolerant of the Pup’s whims…

Just…. large. Very, very large. Anna’s no slouch either, but she’s no where as big, or as tolerant, as our Top Dog Tom Cat, Ace. Now you understand why the dog is so submissive to the big lug, don’tcha?! *grins*

Sometimes…

I wonder if my kids are going to be as opinionated as I am. I want them to be opinionated, and decisive, and willing to stand up for their beliefs. I want them not to worry about what other people think, but what they, themselves think, and to make up their own minds. I worry that I might not be instilling that properly, but then…

Then I get proof that yes, yes they are independent, opinionated little shits - with the added benefit of making me laugh, too!

For instance, a paper that the Pup wrote last week about the Iditarod Dog Sled Race (please note, this is a direct copy - all misspellings are hers.):

I would love to race in the Iditarod becaus I love dogs But it would be hard becaus of the entense whther but I still whant to. I think i’d be fun ecsept the whther. I dont get whiy some wone whould not whant to. well I think its graet and I dont care if you dont. so if you dont then so what. The End.*

I sense the next great blogger in our midst…
She got a B on the paper, by the way. *g*

*Translation if needed: I would love to race in the Iditarod because I love dogs, but it would be hard because of the intense weather but I still want to. I think it’d be fun except the weather. I don’t get why some one would not want to. Well, I think it’s great and I don’t care if you don’t. So if you don’t, then so what! The end.
