She likes us too.

The one couch she's not allowed on. But maybe, if I act cute enough, she thinks, they'll let me stay up here.

Cleo with Daisy in bed

Cleo shows off the new deck, as well as her favorite new toy.

... though nowadays she seems to prefer this roll-toy on the wall.

Look, I play good with it!

At a nearby park, Cleo has found a watering hole that she finds perfect for wallowing. She fancies herself the great albino gator.

... And out with a good shake.

Checking out the gate to her new playpen.

She's usually well-behaved. Then again, we caught her sneaking into the back yard to bury some contraband. We took her in, and got her mud, er, mug shots.
