Hazel

Hazel patiently hung out in her transitional quarters for almost 3 weeks before I felt she knew this was home and was more than anxious to explore it.

This was the first few minutes in the yard. She was so curious of everything.

Supervision of the boy's breakfast is a job she took upon herself and she takes it very seriously.

Gates are easy for this nimble girl to traverse.

Warm paws melt the frost away quickly leaving cute little paw prints.

Pacing while waiting for Pi to finish his grain.

Thanksgiving morning she was supervising the beginnings of dinner for the day :)

I refuse to let her in but she often peeks through our legs at the other cats and dogs inside. They have regular cat visits through the windows. The dogs have learned to keep their distance although she lets them get close once in a while, especially Tucker because he tries so hard. She sleeps and eats in the garage. I've fixed up several beds for her but she keeps moving so I think it's time to quit trying to make her comfortable and let her be. She's right there when you go outside ready to talk to you and rub against your leg hoping to be pet. Hazel is always there to follow us and hang out as long as it's not too far from the house which is what I prefer. 

As for the mice the scoreboard is as follows:

Hazel ~ 1 confirmed

Michael ~ 2

Rachel ~ 8
