Reindeer Games. A couple Christmas’s back, Opie got a reindeer tent. This was when she lived in a bedroom on her own away from the two boys, who loved to bother her. They would sit in her tent just for spite. I got a second one for them downstairs. When they crossed over she moved downstairs into the master bedroom and never returned. She won’t use either tent. I took the tent downstairs but she doesn’t want it, so I put it back in her old room. Now Louie has found it and likes to sleep in it, or watch me use the PC. A new generation has moved in.

Louie’s Birthday One Year Young

Louie’s Birthday One Year Young. A week ago or so it was your first Christmas and now a birthday! So much excitement! No wonder you are under the bed. No more traveling around in the back of a truck. You’re in a new home where you will be well cared for. That is the best gift of all.

Not my arm in the featured photo. We do not have great photos as his safe spot is under the bed. Piles of toys are under there including the banana collection. He runs under there to feel safe. If I offer him a Greenie treat outside the door to his room, he will come out and take it and run back under the bed like a squirrel and eat it. Then if offered another, he will repeat. I can report he has realized the invisible force field keeping him inside his room is off, and he has been exploring the rooms on the second floor. He knows all the good hiding places. He is getting more confident daily. Bringing Opie up to visit results in her running back downstairs.

Opie at Home, Last Nicholas Photo, Louisiana (Louie) first look

Opie at home and the last Nicholas photo.

Nicholas and Opie eating — Nicholas and Opie. He was growing into a big boy. His last photo

Louie spends alot of his time in one bedroom under the bed in the daytime, and jumping around playing with toys all night long. He sticks his head out to eat just like Nicholas . Often I calI him Nicholas by mistake. I miss Nicholas a lot. I wondered if Louie knew what a toy was, but he likes them all. I can touch him and he purrs being petted. He is wary of me walking around. He meows and eats whatever he gets. He has a long tail but you can not see it here. Getting a photo of him is like trying to get one of Bigfoot. He has seen Opie. She came into his room and they exchanged slow eye blinks, then she ran downstairs. He did not follow. At night they scratch the door–one on each side. The door is closed at night to avoid him getting into trouble. In the day he does not venture far from the door.
