Pets

When I was a kid, we had a black cat who napped with one eye open. In the Lord of the Rings, the dragon guards his treasure by sleeping with one eye open, so we named the kitten Smaug. His mother was Smudge and his aunt was a calico named Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell lost her kitten and Smudge only had the one. So the sisters would surround Smudge in a circle of motherhood, both grooming and nursing him. He grew up to be a very sweet loving cat, despite the scary name. Thank you for the endearing picture of your Gryff.
