It's Our Fourth Gotcha Day.

Yep, it's been four years since Mom went to the shelter for a little girl and wound up taking us home. How lucky was that?



And look what she got us! A new hummingbird!





Well, she didn't really. But she got very excited to see this Rufous hummingbird yesterday evening. He was back today, too, so she was able to take these pictures. Since they don't nest here and all we ever see are black-chinned hummers, we got kinda excited too. He's been a lot of fun to watch--he chases everybody, like Ivan, and he's copper-colored, like me. So we do think he came to celebrate with us. We left the photos extra large so you can biggify them. And look! She didn't even cut off his tail or his beak!
