June bugs.

May brought kittens, June brought flies.  June is a bitch.
Momma Sugar and Cali, the day we met. 

















Sugar was living at a beach shack next door with her kittens.












Here are all 4 of the little devils.  I like cats, but not what they do to the birds!  
At least these 4 won't be having kittens.  












Sugar checks out the view from the roof.

















Sugar and Maldi have a tentative peace.  
She's already proven herself to be a good mouser!  












Daisy and pals play with their new toys, thanks to Lisa and Tim!












Xmul prefers Mo to toys.  Happy dogs at sunset.

Lovely Xmul.

















Not so much lovely as loved.  
Ziggy naps. 

















These orange insects were standing motionless on a new shoot of our nopal.  They caught my eye because it looked like a bloom, but nopal doesn't have orange flowers.  They were so still that I touched them, thinking it was some kind of fungus.  I'll update when I identify the species. 
Identified as assassin bugs by Amanda. Thanks!











  
The dogs do their best impression of ants.  
Hey!  No dogs allowed on the tabl.... ah, forget it. 

















Elewah and Sean.

















Her darling daughter Lily, and a napping Frankie.












Blue leads Zoot, Amber, and gang.
Siblings Zoot and Amber have not wanted to go out for months!  So odd.

















Finally, success -we convinced/tricked them, and
Amber couldn't be happier! 

















Zoot also seems to have forgotten what all the fuss was about.
Zasu, Zoot, Rita, Monkey and Tito head home.

















A good representation of Ginger -doing her own thing.
