Hello Tripawds friends
Here’s to Hopping Hoppily into 2018
Paul and I have officially decided that Ted is a complete “Failed Foster!” We will officially be adopting Mr. Tedwardo Allen into the family! He has been in our home less than 4weeks and has totally merged into the family like he has always been here! He is the biggest, loudest purrrr machine we have ever had the pleasure of meeting!
Stewie, although a little too fixated at first, now gets nose kisses on regular walk by’s and are only interested in each other’s space when food (any kind of food!) is involved! Spikey has done the “rub agains the table leg” test and Ted passed with nonchalant colours! Hissy Miss Lily is getting zero reaction from the big fella, so she is rather put out and swaggers off to her window seat. And finally Chester McFiend Molester has found a play mate worth waiting for!!! The two of them romp through the house like a bloody herd of elephants... they have a great time together! Stewie has a hard time holding himself back from joining in their play, so he rips his Hedgie to pieces instead! (the video below, although a little lengthy shows his passion for his Hedgies! It’s true love for sure!!!)
”Stewie’s Hedgie time!”
Miss Lily is more ‘pissy’ than vinegar...!
Chester showing off a little for Ted...
And now for some serious brother action! They really have figured it all out together!
The Allen Clan would like to wish you all a Hoppy and Healthy New Year!
Petra, Paul, Stewie, Spikey, Chester, Miss Lily and Mr. Ted
Remember...“live in the moment!“ 
Happy New Year to you too! Awesome pack and Ted is so lucky to be joining it! I love foster fails! Stu looks great and so content and happy! May 2018 bring nothing but good things to you all! ❤️🍾
Happy New Year. Love foster failures. 🙂 I am glad everyone has settled in. Stewie really loved the Hedgies. 🙂
Hope the new year brings much joy and happiness

"You aren't doing it TO her, you are doing it FOR her. Give her a chance at life."
Thanks you guys! We’re all pretty fortunate to have each other! Stewie definitely reminds us to embrace the moment and each other... often! I don’t mind being able to oblige!!! 
Heres to hopping into the new year with optimism up the ying yang! Hehehehe, I hope I can say that?!
Stewie says Thanks to everyone for being here... life truly wouldn’t be the same without you all!
Stewie, his Pride and of course Petra and Paul
And you and Stewie and crew add so much to everyone here! Thank YOU for being here with your support, advice and delightful humor!! 🙂
Watching Super Stu with his hedgehog just lights up my world!!! 🙂 His tail is wagging non-stop and he IS smiling!! I love how he gets so focused when he's ready to pounce!! We just love Stewie!!
And Miss Lilly is not a out to ow down to Ted and play with a toy in fro t of him. No, no, she's above that! Although she did break down and give it a swat or two!
Chester and Ted REALLY seem to be " brothers" and are thoroughly enjoying each other! So cute!!
CONGRATULATIONS TED! YOU JUST WON THE KITTY LOTTERY!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks for the smiles Petra! 🙂
Lots of love to all!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Ahhhh....PS.....Spikey? We need a viseomof Spikey. The last video didn't play fully on my tavler. So unless he's there on the tail end, we need a Spikey video! 🙂

Thally I Ruv you too! I tore the nose out of my new Hedgie Thally, he was getting thqeaky, tho I need a new one already! Thloppy kitheth to Nurth Myrtle and Hoppy Hopping to Frankie the real Thuper Dawg!
You are absolutely right about Miss Lily being too good to bow down to her brothers cheap antics, she really could be a little bit nicer to them. I do have to say though Sally, that Ted has been the easiest cat to integrate into our home. He’s pretty special! (Pah! Who am I kidding... their all bloody special!!)
Spitfire Spike is getting a lot of extra naps in these days. He really has been funny though, ‘cause he tests all of his new siblings with a cheek rub against his table or chairs and Ted has graciously sat at a respectful distance and hasn’t bugged him once. All Spike wants these days is food, sleep, water and lots of head kisses. We are more than willing to smother him in love! A video will be following shortly of my old fella... (he’s gong to be 19 in April!)
Love ya!
Happy New Year Allen Clan... What an awesome way to start 2018 off! Stu is so amazing and that hedge hog, it just gives me pure joy watching him play with it. Mr. Ted is certainly blessed to be a part of your clan.
Many hugs from Bubba and I.
Thanks Bubba and Grandma! Hoppy days ahead for us all right?!!!
Sally, I tried to download a video of Spitfire Spikey, but my iPad decided it was time to tell me it was full.... so, I I have to download a bunch of videos to clear up my space and then I shall get you a video of Spikey for sure! Thanks for thinking of him!
