New Nina Pictures, Yes!  She's almost three months old, now and a fuzzy,

sporting the third eyelid halfway up on his left eye.  Only the left
one though.  We thought perhaps he had scratched it or something
during the night, but rushed him over to the vet anyhow.  Turns out it

wearing!!!!).  The picture of the tree in the Alaskan Garden is
interesting.    They planted a dead tree upsidedown and used its roots
