Madison


 


Here's my cat, Madison Big Eyes.




Madison wants to know what you're looking at! Besides my messy computer area that is!

Yoga Cat




This little cat wants you to know that dogs aren't the only ones who can do yoga.

Paws and Matilda





Last week I stayed with a pair of great pets named Paws and Matilda. As you can see, Paws was a handsome and charming Westie, who didn't mind having his picture taken. This was especially true if paid with a treat. He was an affectionate little guy, following me around, and sleeping very nicely at the bottom of the bed. He only woke occasionally to play with his quacking duck toy. 



Paws' sister is a tabby named Matilda. In this picture, she'd just finished a meal and was happily licking her face. She's friendly too, though she prefers it if Paws doesn't get too close.
                                                                                  
                       


The neighbors across the street have a pair of horses who have been escaping lately. I was told to call them if I saw the horses parading past the windows. Fortunately, they stayed where they belonged.
                                                      



The neighbor's also have a sweet dog named Amber. Amber liked walking with us, and always waited for a treat when we returned home.



                                Time to play.

Weird Book Room




I just discovered AbeBooks has a Weird Book Room on their website. It's a bit amazing how some of the books highlighted managed to get published. Do the authors' have a special secret? Are they related to the publisher? Naturally, some of the weird books have a pet theme. Here's a few you may, or may not, own and enjoy.  
                                    



This one looks like fun!




I always knew cats were talented.




This volume is supposed to be an excellent book explaining physics.




Most of the non-pet books are much weirder than the dog and cat examples. If you have a weird book you'd like to share, you can email the suggestion to AbeBooks, and they may just include it on their site.

Winston and Toby





This is Winston, a very old Beagle I sat last weekend. Poor Winston had a trying time, as his home has a backyard similar to a  poop covered ski slope, and he rolled to the bottom after losing his footing and stumbling. Coming to a rest, he lay there on his back, with his legs sticking up straight in the air. Thinking he was dead, I nearly had a heart attack. After a minute, he righted himself and tottered off. Needless to say, I was VERY relieved!  


     


This is Toby, Winston's brother. Toby came from a Beagle rescue, and can be nervous around strangers. Fortunately, he likes me just fine. I love what his ears are doing in this picture. He looks like he's ready to take off like a helicopter. He's a very sweet thing who drools a lot.
                                                                           
                                  


Here's one more picture of Toby. Toby is a perfect name for a Beagle.
