Label makers are awesome

I do love my little Brother label maker. I started putting the dogs’ names and my phone number on the back of their rabies tags last year, and the stickers stayed on all year. Nice. Could I have a separate tag? No. The two tags clink together and drive me mad. Only one metal tag is allowed on dog collars.

Cat games

Thor the gray tabby made an interesting decision to hang off the side of the rocker.

What he was really doing was waiting for Missy the dog to run by so he could grab her tail.

Cat dog

This is what you get when a dog is raised around cats. Missy the dog is playing with a cat toy in a pile of gift bags.

I did try to get a video. As soon as Missy noticed my attention, she stopped playing. I’ll have to be more sly.

Buddies

I’ve been trying to get a picture of Thor the cat next to Missy the dog for some time. They are buddies, but when they are near each other it is always on the move, so my pictures are blurry. They are opposites in morphology; Thor is sleek and liquid, and Missy is a solid mass under extreme tension. I think it is cute they are nearly the same size. I really get a giggle when Thor ambushes Missy on her way to bed.

Big boy

This is a picture of a 15 pound cat and a 50 pound dog. Angles and perspective make it look like the cat is nearly the same size as the dog. Thor the cat is a big boy, but not that big. Griffin the dog is being quite tolerant of the cat. Thor is just now a year old; Griffin is ten, approaching eleven.
