I wonder why the dogs have to wake up barking at 6 am!! It was pouring rain this morning so they all trooped back in pretty quickly tho so I snatched another half hour of zzzzzs!!

Little Sumi sends another update – all is well at last!!

Hi there,

Just to let you know, Sumi seems to be settling in and has used the litter ever since I changed it. She is freely running around the house and playing like a true kitten when we are home, and cuddling up at night. I also brought her to the vet here and had her nails clipped and to just start a file and care timeline. So all is good. Will update in a few months but wanted to let you know all is great.

Have a wonderful night and week,

Caroline

And Layah send her update too – she is slowly acclimatising!
Hi Yvette;

Good news to report as of this morning when we went for our walk Layah had a pea and a dump on leash.

I have been keeping the door open to the outside to encourage her to use the backyard.

When we returned from our walk I gave her an all natural liver treat.

When we go for a walk I indicate that us ladies need to stretch our legs and it seems to be working.

And an update anniversary!! From my favorite Possum!! He really does look like Shaggy Dude!!!

Dear Nana Yvette,

Wednesday, May 27th marks the 2 year anniversary of when I came to live with my new Mum on Vancouver Island. I just wanted you to know that I am very happy here and that she takes very good care of me. She loves me a lot !!

I have a sister….who is …. OK I guess (shes a cat) Her name is Misha and I LOVE to chase her. She pretends she doesnt like me but I think she really does because when Mum is making our dinners….she purrs and rubs up against me. I just ignore her then cuz there is much better things happening. Mum buys me grain-free dog food because my tummy got upset a lot before but since we switched there has been no problems (and I think its delicious !)

I am almost due to get my hair cut for the summer – I love it when it gets all cut off – it feels soooo good. (I am only about 1/2 as big though after ).

My favourite thing to do is to go to the park. There is one that is not very far from our house and it is almost always empty so I can run around and chase the ball. When Mum says “want to go to the park” I bark and bark and run around excitedly until we head out the door. She NEVER says it unless we are actually going because I don’t let up!! Sometimes we take Mum’s niece with us. She is 6 years old and I LOVE her. She and I play and play. She likes to throw the ball for me and I like to make her chase me for it. At the park there is this twirly thing and when she gets on it I bark like crazy and try to jump on. (Mum said I could send you a little video to see what I mean)

I have a LOT of toys and I love every single one of them, especially soft ones. The best game is to pull each one out of the basket and place them all over the living room so that people have to step around them. It’s great fun.

Anyways its almost time for us to go and have a play outside, its very sunny here today.

I hope you are doing good and Poppa Dave and Uncle Stan – tell them I said hi.

I am attaching some pictures (and that video I told you about) so you can see how grown up I am.

Love Possum xoxox

And dogs at play!
