Half the inside cats and Jase are coming to San Antonio with me for the month of July. I am on call for jury duty, so we’re not exactly sure what adventure awaits us. I could have hours and hours of mind-numbing waiting (I’ll have plenty to do), or I … Continue reading →
While I was in Utah, Mr. L fed the outside cats. In the morning, Walter and Zelda are near or on the back porch waiting, and Gray Socks Ghost is halfway between the back porch and the side porch waiting. Scooter is either on the side porch or under the … Continue reading →
For the Plus 1, Jase is off to summer camp for a week and a half. The inside cats are relieved, the outside cats will be missing their curious creature they monitor movements for. Ajax: Ajax is somewhat curious about Jase, but he doesn’t appreciate Jase jumping on him (nor … Continue reading →
This has been a breakthrough week for Socks. I was in San Antonio, but Mr. L reported he was even able to pet Socks before putting food in the bowl. He also was able to give Zelda a stroke or two without getting “The Look.” The Look has the “are … Continue reading →
Let’s feature Socks and Zelda this week. Neither one is socialized, but I’ve noticed over the last two weeks some remarkable moments. In the morning, when I take Jase out, Walter and Zelda are usually on the back steps (they want their can!). After putting Jase back in the house, … Continue reading →
I went out to feed the outside cats yesterday morning. Scooter was in his usual place curled up on the doormat. When he looked at me, his left eye was swollen shut. I had planned to catch him next month, but an eye swollen shut is a potential emergency, so … Continue reading →
I’m amused that ever since Jase arrived, the outdoor cats seem to be in more regular attendance. For whatever the reason, the new outdoor quartet seems to be set with one more to be captured, tested, neutered and vaccinated. Walter is our friendliest outdoor sweetie. He’s either teasing the heck … Continue reading →
I have forgotten so many things about raising a puppy. When Jase first arrived, he always came when called. Now? Not so much. He’s getting better about “giving kisses” instead of grabbing with his mouth. He’s good about sitting at the door when he wants to go out, and he’s … Continue reading →
The cats are still adjusting to Jase. Ajax tolerates him well. Lady wants to be with him but does not like Jase barking at her. Jase seems to think it’s a game — bark at Lady and she swats at him with her paw. Lady doesn’t seem to be using … Continue reading →
Daphne would probably rather not have a dog in the house. She goes out of her way to avoid Jase. Other than that, she’s doing great. I shared a post on Facebook from a couple years ago where I stated I was pretty sure Daphne thought her name was, “Get … Continue reading →
