Spike had a lot of dog qualities, from the very beginning. He always liked a trip in the car. I would take him with me if it was going to be only a few hours, sunny, and relatively isolated site. He would stay in the truck with the doors open.

We did have a challenge with our cat Moly when we tried a long leash on a trip and he crawled under a house and around a corner...

Thanks so much for the response.

He sounds like a most wonderful fellow.

Sorry for your loss.

This is Tigger. He's a St. Patricks Day kitty. He turned 8 years old today. Not too impressed by by my bike, but he enjoys a roll in the sun.

That look clearly says he has resolved what his next caper is to be and is prepared for its launch...

Thoughtful of you to leave the top on so carton can be enjoyed for "top down cruising" or buttoned up for quiet time...

we have 3 of them. I stash combs, brushes & scissors around the house so when one gets cozy I have a chance at sneaking some grooming for a few secs.

Ours are all short-hair, but they still need to be brushed. Just not as much. We are fortunate in that the one with the thickest coat really likes to be brushed.

^ Cats will be cats...

Meanwhile, I have a new study partner:



She's into another of her pattern shifts, spending a couple hours sitting on my desk looking out the window. Occasionally she'll walk across in front to sit on the opposite side, but really, she's well behaved. It's kinda endearing

I'd probably overheat if one of those sat on me. They look warm!
