Meet my shop assistants: Pipkin, Thursday, and Gilly.
Pipkin:
Pip's our kitten. He's just under a year old. A wonderful local couple found him wandering around their bushes near the road last summer and took care of him until he was healthy. Then, they found him a home. My husband was resistant to getting a third, especially a second Siamese, but now he'd never give Pip up. Pip helps out by keeping my feet warm under my desk and holding the string while I attempt to package.Thursday:
Thursday has been with us since she was a wee kitten. Now, she's six! She used to sleep in flower pots and tissue boxes, but has since graduated to baskets. Here she is making sure it's the right fit for my laundry. Thursday is my baby. She's bossy but sweet. She problem solves and causes havoc like no other kitty I know. She also makes sure she keeps Pip in line.
Gilly:
Gill is eight this year. She was rescued from a boarding school where she was living off of compost scraps. She's our sweetest baby, and if we're all honest, not the brightest. She is the first kitty to curl up in bed at night with me when I'm reading. Since it's summer, Gil mostly helps out by watching for the mail from her perch on the front porch.
