Melissa is SO CUTE!! I love that pink bunny friend she has!
Pets can be funny with their toys. Clare gave her friend Erin a little fuzzy kitten when Erin got a new Siamese kitty. The stuffed one was the same size as the real one, with very similar coloring! Yuki (the cat) started dragging the toy around with her everywhere, and now will bring it to her food bowl and set it next to her while she eats!

Awwww....what a cutie pie! Glad they've been allowed to keep her - seems like there was a case awhile back where they wouldn't let them keep dogs.
