A new baby kitten in the house! Introducing Pepper, 1 lb. 15 ounces of pure furry fun. Dr. Jeff has declared her a healthy 8 week-old, and she already had her first shot.
We went to a family birthday party last Sunday, and my sister let us know that we weren't allowed to leave without a kitten. Seems some low-life (call 'em as you see 'em) dumped 5 little kittens in a drainage ditch, barely 6 weeks old, and my sister was good enough to take them in. After one week in our household, Pepper is getting to know her way around and she's decided that the dogs mean nothing to her ... NO FEAR!
Each of the dogs is reacting differently to her, as expected. Tango could care less about her as long as she still gets some love and affection; Tyson is mildly interested in her but has figured out that she's not edible, so he leaves her alone for the most part; and Tandie - well Tandie has always been an idiot when she sees a cat she doesn't recognize. So we have to keep an eye on her because she can get a little rough as she "inspects" the poor thing.
Beanie has quickly become friends with the kitten, I think remembering how things were when Baby Kitty was still here. They play (well, Beanie lays in one spot while Pepper jumps, flails around and generally does kitten-activities in circles around him.) and nap together, and Beanie gives her a good washing when he's feeling motherly. They're going to be BFF.
