Dale’s mom got what amounted to a whole new toybox of toys for the kitties. I spread them out to show the cats (and to take a picture because I’m a dork) and Monty came ’round to inspect his winnings!

Realizing this was a bounty of toys for him, he took the appropriate action:

He started guarding the toys from me! God forbid he shares. Needless to say, he was exciting about his new goodies! The cats were particularly terrified by the battery-operated rolling mouse. They pounced on it at first but then grew frightened. It was pretty funny!

Happy New Year, Friends & Family! So happy we got to meet up with so many people but we’re sad the trip was so short!
