She has taken a liking to all of us in the family and the girls just love the fact that she comes to them for attention...the one thing she does that gets us all laughing so hard is how she plays with the girls' stuffed animals.

As you know, we adopted KitKat...and they have become good friends. Their favorite game appears to be Tag...they also love to explore together...and bird-watch from their windowsills.
