Lila's puppies are growing up quickly and moving around all over the place. It's becoming increasingly difficult for me not to want to adopt one of them. I've even named one of them, the little girl in the top left. Her name is Esi, which means "papaya".

I brought her into the house to how the kittens would react to her. Suffice it to say, they weren't thrilled. They sat wide-eyed and stared at this little, harmless quivering puppy like it was the anti-christ. If Esi moved to close to either of the kittens, they would his at her as if she meant to do them harm, or was capable of doing them harm. In truth I'm having to keep the cats away because I'm worried one of them night scratch her with their razor sharp claws.

I suppose it's going to take some time to acclimate the kittens who are wary of all dogs, and thankfully so, since it makes me worry much less about them when they are outside and dogs are howling away. I know the cats won't get close to them.

They must be afraid of Esi because, depsite her pint size, she smells like a dog. To me, she smells incredibly sweet and is so soft. I don't know if I can handle a dog at the moment, but I could take one, it would definately be her.
