One of Anabel's classic mousing maneuvers - the "pounce"

Who doesn't love a good chew bone?

Anabel LOVES the snow. Her favorite season is winter, by far.

She loves scratching her back on the grass (and snow).

Anabel loves tearing up soft toys in no time flat. Thankfully, she never confuses our soft items with her toys!

Anabel is a great hiker, and has been with us all over the Rocky Mountains.

Staring at a squirrel high up in a tree - Anabel will never give up hope that one will fall out of a tree on her watch.

Anabel sitting proudly after completing her Sunday puzzle. She gets a puzzle daily, with small treats inside each piece. They start off easy on Monday and get harder and bigger through Sunday.

On very special days, Anabel solves her puzzle al fresco.

Anabel on Madeline Island in Lake Superior. A rare getaway during the pandemic!

Anabel spent hours looking for critters in the woodpile on Madeline Island.

Anabel and her human mom harvesting cranberries in a bog in Madeline Island. Anabel was much braver than her Mom about standing on floating plants!!

A bashful moment...

Enjoying the view on a hike near Bozeman

One of Anabel's favorite hikes near home in Bozeman. It is a great place for "mousing" in the Fall.

This is Anabel's mugshot from the humane society before she went to her forever home.

And this is Anabel's sister Maggie. Thanks to DNA testing, they were matched as likely siblings, which was later confirmed by their humans. They have been corresponding regularly ever since, nearly 10 years later!! Reunited and it feels so good ;-)
