The Wonderful World Of Wendall

I have had some crazy critters, but Andrew's cat Wendall is the by far the strangest animal ever! He has two different colored eyes and six toes. But not only is his appearance a bit "different", I really believe this cat thinks he is a dog! He chases Andrew around the house, he rolls in the dirt, and you better watch out, because he hides everywhere. He even spent a night in Rob's truck because he climbed in without anyone seeing him.
Rob doesn't like cats! Good thing Wendall thinks he's a dog! The truth is I love this crazy cat! He makes me smile!

Wendell and Maggie

We have two new addition's to our household. Wendell and Maggie. Wendell is a 4 month old kitten and as you can tell from the photo, he has one blue eye and one brown eye. He has 6 toes on each foot. He is Andrew's cat and he is a rascal! He has a lot of energy and is into everything!!

Maggie is his mother. She was a stray who wondered up to our neighbors house and and promptly gave birth to 4 kittens. She also has a blue eye and a brown eye and as you can tell, she is a bit unusual looking.

Basil the Rabbit

Andrew wanted to raise a rabbit as a project for 4-H. We did some research and decided to buy a Netherlands Dwarf. We waited 6 months to get the "perfect" male rabbit from a local rabbit breeder. This rabbit was going to win blue ribbons. He was going to be the best show rabbit in Polk County..... however, Basil had a different plan!

Basil weighs 2 1/2 pounds and lives in a cage in our school room. During the Christmas season last year, the boys were listening to Christmas music on the radio while doing their school work. Mr. Basil got very used to the music being on and would throw his metal pan against the metal cage when they turned it off. This became very annoying, so we decided to let him listen to NPR. He listens to it day and night. He seems to really enjoy listening to"Prairie Home Companion". If you want to know anything about the upcoming Presidential Election, just ask our rabbit. He is very well informed of all the current events. The only thing he is not too fond of is opera! As far as rabbit shows go....since the radio can't come along, the boys have decided that Basil would be much better off just staying at home! He is just too sophisticated now.
