New Member of the Family


Sam and I have a new member of the family! His name is Dingus Magee (Dingus for short). He's 12 weeks old, with a lot of playful energy, but he's also a sweetheart.

Everything's a toy to Dingus, and every possible minute is playtime. Feet and ankles are frequently attacked. Fortunately, his birth home taught him the word, "No", and he's also litter box trained!

Pumpkin has been less-than-amused from the start, but Dingus follows her around, attacking and trying to get her to play. Pumpkin is spending a lot of time in places that Dingus can't yet reach, such as the top of the bedroom dresser.

Dingus lies in wait...

But the two are getting along better all the time. We're certain they will be best friends ... once Dingus grows up and settles down a bit. At least Pumpkin is no longer bored!

We hope to post more pictures in the coming weeks.

He's so cute! Makes me want a little one again! Poor Pumpkin. He'll survive, though.

Fun, congratulations. I'd love a cat, but we're all allergic!

With those big ears, he looks like a dingo.
