My Ziva

Sat here with her brother 
Look how tiny she was, but even then God she was beautiful.
(Her baby name was Mini Minx)
 "Look At Me Now!"

Ziva is on day 10 of her season and with 2 unneutered adult males in the home it's becoming a necessity now to know where she is at all times. She sleeps in her crate all night, she doesn't move, but keeping her in it with the door closed during the day is impossible! We had thought of finding a way of locking it, but have opted against that now as I'm scared she will damage her face/nose in her determination to open the door. Ziva still spends sometime in her crate during the day but with the door open ... and she does use it as a place to take her stolen goods. If anything is missing we check out her crate first. Already this morning I have retrieved 2 cat bowls and a fork from it. Yesterday she stole Loki's bone from his crate and that was taken straight to her own crate. I think they consider these crates as a place of safety, a place that is theirs and theirs alone. I think she thinks any goods taken into her "den" is safe from the others.
