Cats and Dogs

 We have a family group text among all 6 of us. It's fun and a great way to make an announcement, ask an important question, or relay information to everyone at one time, which is extremely hard to do nowadays with everyone's schedules. 

The thing that we share the most on these group texts, however, is the pictures that everyone shares of our cats. They're our main source of mutual entertainment. Here are some recent ones.

Leia loves to stretch out in the sun.

Take advantage of those sunny days here!

Luke loves to sleep in Jason's spot as soon as he gets out of bed.

Sneaky

Lazy

Leia started taking Luke's spot.

Kade is Luke's absolute favorite!

Sometimes they rest together.

Leia reminds me of a chipmunk sometimes. 

Trying to hide.

I spy Luke!


And this week, we are dog-sitting again. Victoria was out with the Livonia Sisters last week, and they were visiting a family in that ward who were lamenting that they didn't have anyone to watch their dog this week while their family went on a cruise. Victoria offered up our family's dog-sitting services, and since she's a service missionary, she's doing it for free. So, we have cute little Happy this week. He's pretty chill and reminds me of Toto. The only thing is that he had never seen a cat before, and so he's pretty excited when he sees ours. They are not even close to his level of excitement and are unfortunately not adjusting as fast as they did to Daisy, Pepper, and Ellie, all of whom were much bigger than Happy, so it's kind of funny that the cats are so put off. Anyway, all the animals will survive, and Luke and Leia will be happy when Happy leaves next week!
