To Cooperate or Not?

Rebel had her bath too and you will see she looked like she was saying really - no really? Nathan at first took photos and her eyes looked like they were green and oh so popping out. Her eyes are actually brown. I took a photo and said see... This is my old camera that he is supposed to be learning but he will get there. He likes those auto settings. Who doesn't? She just looks hysterical in some.

Here is the bath gallery.

Usually by now we have started integrating the one remaining but have not had the time to so tomorrow is her 1st introduction to being alone with mom of course and all those big guys. We shall see how it goes. Tomorrow night she will most likely be sleeping next to mom or in Nathan's neck. Yes, she will be in bed with us.

Her adventure and journey is also about to begin.

Rebel With a Cause

Oh Rebel - how will you fair with the older crew. We will find out Sunday night. Daddy still has time to spoil and train you before surgery. This works out or he would be saying I stole another from him. He thinks I steal them away with treats. Do you believe THAT?

oH mY

Dear young thing Rebel decided to scale the xpen and then howl as she couldn't figure out how to get back. Remember she is a week earlier but its rare that they figure out this stunt. I was getting out of bed to go help her. I looked at the ipad again and she scaled it again and jumped inside. I need to catch this on video as I am sure she will do it again and again (this is her 2nd time) seeing she now knows how to play recovery.

Now another reason other than Spirit to keep this one is this. Maybe we should have called her Miss Houdini.

Winding Down

No need to keep this blog going. We can talk about her in the other blogs. She is still a character. It will be interesting after the others are gone.

It's not music but Spirit's mom was named after a quirky violinist so we are looking for quirky.
