Sirius, the Dog Star is actually two, a binary system. Both the larger star and it's smaller, barely visible counterpart are main sequence, like our sun. Each is called an ms companion. 

Dee Dee and Ellie in their chair. This is essentially the pet chair, constantly being patched and hopelessly guarded by pet-begone sticky strips. 

Bubba and Ellie resting in Husband RJ's back room. This is not an unusual scene. 

Patches and Bubba. Weird and wonderful. The flash really got their attention. 

Baby Patches loves the camera, so it's hard to get her to pose properly. 

Whoops! Something got their attention, so maybe we will get a shot. 

Finally, perfect. Both cats looking at an interloper in the yard. 

Here are the Baker girls, from the left: MammaDog, VeggieGirl, BabySister and yours truly.
