Glorious Coleus

This morning our favorite hummingbird was humming around all the brightly colored Coleus that I planted this week. Mr. Chub was totally oblivious but The Princess and Tankene loved the hummingbird.

Tankene

Happy Birthday to Tankene Ice Mist on June 24th. What a beautiful purbaby I am. I call for my Mom like this: " Ma-a-a-ah" and she comes running and answers me with her own reply. I have been chasing Princess Sinatra hoping she'll be my girl but she is a " princess" and refuses my loving gestures. I just met another NFC who lives in Germany who is just beautiful. Hello to Siena Snowfox-you are so foxy! Hope we can be friends.Keep thoses purprints coming. Signed, Tankene Ice Mist
