What a special boy he is!




Why, oh why are his toes facing upwards in the first photo?! How adorable is that?!
Secondly, you who know Murph know he is superbly calm & loving & funny … so that black beard is a peculiar event.


Raccoons can wreck a room within moments and they may think you are a living toy as you attempt to clean!!
Ah man, but they are SO cute when they do it! Have I mentioned Gypsy is now practicing her lunge & jump attack capabilities? !! Oh yes!! I might add, she is quite good!! Skilled. Self-taught!!

… when she doesn’t behave like a hellion.
I have constant small wounds and some nice, new white claw scars on my shoulders that won’t tan, but, I’ve also been loved, kissed, groomed & thought of as a mother by a beautiful, wild animal, so it’s all good. What an experience!
I have to keep a dog from a raccoon, and vise versa, and a coon away from our special lizard, Murph!
What am I doing?!! How did I get here again!?!
