Briggsy and her human daddy carry on a conversation every night at bedtime. Either one will start their exchange, then the other will chime in, til they go back and forth, back and forth for a couple of minutes. Briggs always ends their ritual. Kyle would continue, even when he's super tired 'cause it's just so much fun to hear Briggs's comments!

In general, Briggs is not a talker. She's a petite 6 pounder with a small voice to match. I always hear from her when I'm annoying the princess, but most of the time she's perfectly quiet.

Like most folks, we've been very busy and had company over the holidays. I told my husband this evening that I was looking forward to this weekend when it will be just the 2 of us. Kyle responded that yes, he was, too. A very loud "Meeeeowww" from Briggs immediately followed Kyle's remark. WOW!!! We assured her that she was definitely included and not to worry. So, it's obvious that when she wants to be heard, she does not hesitate to SPEAK UP!!!!
