    This little guy is Brundel. He thinks he's a big guy though, as he is 4th youngest of our 7 animal companions, yet thinks he has to manage all the others. He even has his own website 'brundelbites.com'; although he hasn't updated it in years. He's a wonderfully loving and loyal guardian of our family.
    This is Alice. My wife quickly came up with that name - don't ask me how.
 Alice is the youngest uninvited member of our family. She just showed up on our doorstep in November of 2004  and appeared to be starving and freezing to death.
Alice's personality, behaviour and appearance is strikingly similar to a male named Rudy that we had who mysteriously went missing less than a year before Alice's sudden arrival on our property; I sometimes wonder if she is Rudy reborn. No surprise then that she's extremely agile and a proficient hunter - a frequent and disturbing occurrence for both of us.
    Well I finally have a picture of Floozy. She's the 8th little wonder of our animal family - I mean very little. Floozy is smaller than our smallest cat, and is full grown at 5 years as of '09. she's also the most difficult to get a picture of, as she is very uncomfortable with a camera pointing at her, so I had to grab this one without her knowing. She also rarely stays still other than sleeping or snuggled in someone's lap, so I hope to get a better shot of her yet. 
To make it even more difficult, her face has to be cleaned often to minimize the darkening of fur around her eyes, plus she frequently gets her face dirty in food dishes. So here she is in all her happy and bouncy glory. However, I don't think my wife will be too pleased when she sees that I put up a picture of Floozy with a dirty face, lol
