This is our newest family member ... Vegas. (His registered name is Partytown) He is a Papillon. Papillon in French means "butterfly" and he has big butterfly ears! He's very smart and never bites or chews on stuff. He's a very good puppy!

Here I am with our cat, Calypso. Her nickname is Callie. She's ... well ... a cat! Has a mind of her own and does her own thing. But we love her and I'm sure she knows it. She spends most of the day sleeping or playing with Vegas, running all over the house.

And here is Lupe! She came to live with us when Don did. She is eight years old. She's pretty smart too. She can say "Pretty Bird" and make kissing sounds (which are good tricks for the kind of bird she is!). I think she spends her days watching the dog chase the cat and feeling glad that she's not involved in all that ruckus!
