@dlowan,
Yes - Scooter is a blue applehead. I love love love his head. Maia, the tortie, is one of the older cats in residence. I have one photo that shows the orange on her ears beautifully.
Both dogs are seniors as well - and great friends of the cats. Lester loves to box with/chew on Kelly's legs - she's the lovely collie-ish girl. Her health is not good, perhaps only days or weeks to go, but she continues to have enormous patience with the kitten.
When I stayed at the farm this past weekend Duke, the big black dog, clambered up on the futon with me and hip-checked me against the windowsill - making room for himself and Kelly on the futon with me. Lester hopped on and over Duke and me to get to the windowsill after playing with my watch and glasses for a while. Webster (the missing cat from the photos posted so far) came and joined us for part of the night as well. Two dogs, two cats ... the futon wasn't as big as it seemed at first.
