Christmas at the Bishops'
Christmas this year was largely taken up with trying to keep Torix out of the Christmas tree. We gave up after awhile and just enjoyed the chaos.

Torix helps in the craft closet
One of my chores is to sort through Mummy's craft closet looking for anything which can be chewed on or pulled out. Sometimes I don't think that I get the appreciation that I deserve.

Torix our tiny toe terrorist
Early on, I discovered that biting Mummy's toes was both rewarding in itself and for the wonderful cries of joy it caused. It is especially nice when she is sleeping and I wriggle under the covers for a little guerilla action.
I am useful in so many ways. I love to nibble on embroidery floss. Mummy says that this helps her stay organized because she has to hide the delicious little morsels. Well, between you and me, I haven't found any shortage of nibblies yet.
Also, I have put my sisters on a rigourous exercise program - lots of chasing,lurking and leaping. And still, I don't feel completely appreciated.

Having two sisters isn't always twice the fun
That's true, but sometimes we're almost cuddly. |

Life with my stepsisters
I have two stepsisters. They are ten years old and sometimes they don't seem to understand my playful nature. In fact, they can be downright grouchy.

Fermat expresses her joy at the arrival of her baby sister
Although I was small and ever so refined, I managed to hold my own and now I feel I am close to having the position of respect that I deserve.

Sometimes we're almost best friends
We love to help make and unmake beds. It is shared hobbies such as this which help us bond. More on life with the old lady soon. |
