7.31.13 addendum: Okay, my bad. I didn’t take the time to write a narrative for this post, and in doing so, created some confusion. We’ve had Meggie, a.k.a. Meggie Moo, a.k.a. the Moominator, since 2007.

While she is now very sweet, Meggie hasn’t always been this way. I think she’s mellowing with age, and I think she really enjoys being around us now. She still really digs a good scratch.

We got a boatload of rain last Friday, and the barn turnouts ended up under water. It’s because of that we decided to bring Meggie into the backyard with the Hairy Hacienda crew… and she loved it. She’s still in charge… and the girls and Whisky didn’t mind one bit.

It was 10 years ago on June 3rd that my African Queens flew from Nairobi, Kenya to their new life in America.

Naturally, we had a party last week to celebrate their anniversary birthday.

My beautiful girls.

Still so polite.

Happy Birthday, Kike Coyote. Happy Birthday, Suni Lou Who.
