Dodger Bean and Carter Bean

 

 

Dodger Bean was our first pet.  Here she is a few weeks after we got her in the summer of '98. She's a dark tortoise shell and is hard to photograph well.

 

Here she is as a wise adult.

   

A few months later, after careful testing of several candidates at the A.P.L., we got her a plaything--Carter Bean.

 

 

  

They took to each other pretty nicely, I'd say.  This is pretty rare now that Carter is all grown up and too cool for this kind of behavior.

 

 

When he's awake, Carter enjoys winning staring contests...  

 

   ...and when he sleeps (@22hrs/day), he reveals his secret spotted and honey-colored underchassis...

 

Five years later, still enjoying his naps.

 

Dodger's orange tabby heritage shows up in the right light, especially on her front leg.

 

Another fine nap...

 

Thanks for visiting!
