Jake

Jake passed suddenly, and I am having a rough time of it. 

But now he can run, and his legs work properly, so it is best this way. Annie would try and keep up to him, but never managed it.

If a cat can sleep in a laundry basket, then so can a whippet. Clean laundry preferred...

I always laughed to see him shake. His front legs always left the ground.

And after a hard day's run, you always need to have a good nap...

New Nephew

My older sister has a new puppy - Meko.

He is about 6 months old,

and loves to bedevil his big brother, Colby.

Meko can even make cousin Freddie take notice,

but it is not Freddie sitting up on his hind legs...

 

Pedro

While my younger sister and I were poking about in the basement on the weekend,

she looked up in the rafters, and saw the collar and dogtag of Pedro, who worshipped my Dad.

 

Jake

Jake is also 12, so he and Gloria are the twins. I always wanted to have twins. He is a whippet, but his joints are starting to bother him, and he has a more or less permanent limp now.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Jake looked so adorable, sleeping in my chair.

 

Footprints in the Snow

Annie's hair makes her prints indistinct. Jake's are much clearer.

The crow was walking across the road.

But we never saw the cat or the rabbit.

Dogs and a Cat

I have been blogging for 4 weeks now, approximately, and I am becoming much more comfortable with it. So here are my babies. Gloria and Jake are the twins, eight and a half years old. Gloria is from the Humane Society, as almost all my cats have been, over the years. Jake is a whippet. Think of a knee high greyhound.

Jake and Annie had their bi-monthly baths, although he does not look different, no matter whether he is wet or dry.

Annie is a schnauzer-Tibetan terrier cross. She is seven and a half years old. And noisy.

Yes, there are two eyes in there.
