Ellena has become very attached to Piko and Poki... well, more Piko than Poki. The kids hold a grudge against Poki because she takes their stuffed animals, carries them around in her mouth and licks them as if the furry friends were her babes. Piko went through a medical scare (end result - detached retina and lost vision in his right eye, confirmed hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure and low potassium = 2 transdermal meds that we rub into his ears and potassium chew treats; thankfully he is doing well on the meds and even gaining some weight!) and Ellena made sure to check on Piko throughout the day. He now tolerates her snuggles and makes it a point to visit her during our bedtime tuck-in.
This picture cracks me up because Piko is in the middle of begging for food. He gets very vocal when he thinks it's time for mid-afternoon snacks. He paces around the kitchen and meows and I happened to catch him mid-meow.
