Sassafras Peppercorn by Kevin Griggs

Last Friday, the 29th, we picked up an adorable new addition to our pet family from some friends across town. May I introduce you to Sassafras Peppercorn?

This little bundle of trouble is already creating quite a stir. We’ve mostly been keeping her isolated in the bathroom until she’s weighty enough to get vaccinated, and she’s wasted no time finding cute little messes to make. The toilet tissue tower has become a climbing toy.

Our friend Kevin Griggs came over last night to take some glamour shots of the new baby. He posted a few choice samples to Flickr, and she even made the first picture in a “Kitten Tuesday” post on their blog! Clearly, with all this activity, we have a heart-breaker on our hands.

It will be exciting to see how she matures, and how Binky (our other cat) takes to her. After the untimely passing of our cat George (may he rest in peace), I was half-jokingly excited to get another pet named George II, but Kip managed to knock some sense into me, and Sassy here is the result!

Please enjoy responsibly.
