A New Addition to Our Zoo

Last Sunday the girls and I went to the cat shelter as usual when we went into the kitten room and saw this wonderful little creature:


Her name was Penelope and she was all alone. She was such a love and was snuggling with us. Moira begged us to get her and finally we relented.


She's five months old.


She hasn't shown any interest in the other cats or Suki. She just runs around exploring and doing her own thing. She has a little bell on her collar so we always know where she is.


Liam is showing Penelope the laser pointer. He calls her "Bee-nana-pee".

And our other pets:

Here is Sugar sleeping on Kyla's bed.


Our Lucy who was four months old when she adopted us.


Of course, our dog Suki.

And we still have our chickens.

This is one of the original ones that Will first brought home. She is very pretty and her feathers shine.


This is our littlest chicken. She is very tiny.


This is the biggest chicken and she rules the roost. She is much bolder than the others and the other two follow her around.


The three of them in their coup. They haven't laid any eggs for us yet, but I keep checking their nests.


*Not included in this post are the two little goldfish that Moira has in her room.*

Congratulations on your new addition! Penelope looks really cute. She and Benny should meet - they look a lot alike. :-)
We are getting our kittens adopted out. Two of them are not quite 2lbs yet, but a couple put them on hold. And hopefully the last two will get a home tonight when someone is coming to meet them.

Enjoy all your furry and feathered friends!

Oh how Lily would love to live at your house with all those wonderful pets!
They are all special, and Penelope is so sweet!

I would love for Lily to come visit us! It's fun having lots of animals. Moira and I want rabbits too, but Will has said no to that. And that big black and white chicken will eat out of your hand. It's really fun.

I also think you are amazing that you can add caregiver of many diverse animals to your list of titles! How in the heck do you find the time - I barely manage to keep the fish tank clean!
How are the cats and your dog with the chickens? Have they been curious or do they not see them in their pen?
