Vanalikalikes

As Joan pointed out in a comment, our newest babies look a bit like the Vanalikes. OK, a lot like the Vanalikes. We are calling them the Vanalikalikes. The difference is in the tails: Vanalikes have gray tails, and Vanalikalikes have white tails with one dark spot near, but not at, the tip.

Here were the Vanalikes at two weeks:



And at three:



This group looks and acts to be somewhere in between. For the first 36 hours they slept and ate and pottied with assistance. This morning after breakfast they showed the first signs of play, with clumsy pouncing and bitey activity. Though their eyes are wide open, they're still mostly blind, and of course they're immature and without a mom, so it's amazing to see activity like I captured on this video. Look - they're washing their feet!



It is a coincidence that these were delivered on the same night that Bunny and Bonnet went to their forever home together. Beau left a week or so ago, so that means that the next updates you read about the Vanalikes will be adoption reports. Yippee!

Vanna, however, is still waiting. If you know of a home in need of a Beautiful Princess, keep her in mind.
