The boys, and the boys’ ears

At almost 6 months, the boys from See See’s litter: Frasier, Niles, and Martin (different names now) have all adjusted well into their new homes. I could not be more pleased with the love and care they are getting. The only bad thing is ears. (Roz’s are still in and out of tape too) I’mContinue reading “The boys, and the boys’ ears”
