This is Pumpkin : 
Inline image 1
Pumpkin is 12 years old and is missing both of her fangs, she has lived quite the life. She was missing for a whole year over winter and everything and then someone responded to the missing cat ad and sure enough I got her back! I don't know that I had ever been so happy. Pumpkin was an outdoor cat, but after that scare, I don't let her outside anymore, so she watches the news to keep up on whats going on out there!Inline image 2

Pumpkin also has good taste in literature, her favorites being Stephen King, Anne Rice and Arthur Conan Doyle: Inline image 20

This is Pumpkin sleeping with her best friend Lena, the older of my two dogs:Inline image 3
Lena is about the same age as Pumpkin and they get along very, very well. My youngest cat, Balthazar is 2 years old and is completely wild, Pumpkin doesn't have time for a cat like this:Inline image 4
Sure, Pumpkin tried to teach Balthy the ways of the world, Inline image 5
But Balthazar found things such as this very boring, as you can see, Inline image 6
Balthazar is still young and likes to have fun, Pumpkin has been through it all twice, so she doesn't have time for partyingInline image 7
Or playing childish games imagining that the box or bag is a cave or whatever is going on in this silly cats mindInline image 8
Well, most of the time Pumpkin doesn't play such gamesInline image 9
The real monster of the house is not either of the cats, or Lena, but the 'puppy' Ziggy Stardust, named so because she has one blue eye, like David Bowie, look how cute this puppy is! Inline image 10
Well, that was 4 years ago, she is now humongous, loud, scary and bossy. See, she is an Australian Shepherd, it is in her blood to chase around other creatures and bark at them and scare them.Inline image 11That poor, poor chicken. If you ever end up at my house, I literally have to either put Ziggy outside or barricade the door, because we just don't know how she is going to react. Some people she is okay with, some she just charges. The cats live in a state of perpetual anxiety. Despite the cats differences, a common enemy such as this was enough to unite them! Inline image 12 They were not going to end up like this poor bear that Ziggy got Inline image 13hold of

This is the middle aged cat, she is about 8 years old, her name is Mama JuJu, Pumpkin gets along with her pretty well, but there is a tension between them. Inline image 15
Little does Mama Juju now, Pumpkin was once Mama Pumpkin, but only for a few hours, as her kittens did not make it. It was the saddest day of my life.Inline image 16Oh, to be a kitten with no worries again!

I remember when Pumpkin used to love Christmas, nowadays she is just jaded, she does not enjoy much except for snuggling with me and protecting her friend Lena from the 'Puppy'Inline image 18
That is the story of my pets! For now, there is no ending yet, because they are all still kicking! My dog Max passed away a few years ago, so I did not include him because it still makes me sad, we got him when I was so little. Last night, Ziggy caught this opossum in the yard after I got off the phone with you, I was pretty nervous getting this close for the picture:Inline image 19
It was gross, its mouth was open when I first realized what it was and it had Sharp Pointy Teeth! Awful.

I wanted to send you the picture of my old cat Ichabod with her tongue sticking out but I forget where it is saved at! If I find it I will send it!

All this typing is making me tired!
