2021 Highlights (160 photos)
The largest year captures the early apartment era with Oscar, Noir, and Butter establishing their territories. Key series include Oscar's many couch positions, Noir's signature blanket-hiding golden eye peeks, and Butter's regal perching. The apartment features a recognizable gray couch, striped blankets, and warm lighting.
Notable moments: Oscar nose-to-nose with Noir (Oct), Butter's first window perch appearances, Michael + Noir lap cuddles on gaming setup.
2022 Highlights (48 photos)
The Jack Era Begins. October 10, 2022 marks Jack's first appearance in a classic staircase standoff with Butter. The year shows the pack adjusting to a new member, with November capturing Jack + Jasmine car rides (both in harnesses) and the first Jack + Jasmine spooning photo.
April features an extended 16-photo Butter + Noir cuddle session that showcases their bond. September captures Jasmine window-watching with Meg in a Minnesota neighborhood setting.
2023 Highlights (6 photos)
A sparse but transitional year. November captures Butter with a lion cut posing on the old leather couch - these are the last photos of that furniture before it was replaced with the current recliners. The triple-dog pile photos (Nov 4-5) show Jack, Jasmine, and Oscar all sharing the couch together in beautiful multi-species harmony. December closes with a Meg + Jack holiday selfie.
Furniture Context: The leather couch visible in November 2023 photos was the old furniture, soon to be replaced. Current recliners came after these photos were taken.
2024 Highlights (28 photos)
Multi-species harmony on full display with the new furniture setup. February captures a four-pet lap pile (Jack + Oscar + Noir). March shows Butter and Noir sharing a bay window perch with art supplies scattered on the table - a gorgeous domestic scene.
December introduces the baby gate era, with Butter hiding in a box behind it (peeking through the bars). The year ends with Jack and Jasmine in matching galaxy blankets under purple ambient lighting.
2025 Highlights (7 photos)
The most recent photos show the family settled into their current home. January 12 captures Michael and Jack resting on the couch with a 3D printer and filament rack visible in the background - the maker setup.
April 2 shows Jack resting near an "Instant Cold Packs" box and an Amazon box reading "Wish you could just stay in bed? Granted." - post-surgery recovery context from Michael's medical journey (hand reconstruction surgery March 2025).
March 27 features a Jack + Noir staredown with Jasmine's legs visible in the background - the whole crew together.
