In the beginning, there were three:  Echo (left), my beautiful Akita-German Shepherd; Mini Moo (middle), my eccentric Maine Coon; and Wile E. (right), my fun-loving Akita-Husky.  Life was wonderful and happy for the furry Howard kids.  All three enjoyed sleeping, eating, and playing together, and all was good for the friendly little clan.

...and then came Yodelee, a sweet, little, vocal kitty who smothers me for attention. Life hasn't been the same since and never will be. After a year of "forced" cohabitation, my felines have begged to differ on every subject, and will forever compete with each other for my lap. This, I'm afraid, is the closest I'll ever get to photographing them together!

And here they are at some of their finest moments - all four - whether together or apart...
