double-decker kitteh bus

We say that our kitties like to sit on the bus, or the train. Sometimes, even when they are totally konked out napping, they will be positioned in an orderly straight line one behind the other. As if they were sitting in rows on a bus. Or sometimes it's a vertical version; with one kitty on top of the bus (aka dining room table) and the other directly below.

This week, there were some suspiciously double-decker-bus-like positions, but they were with old man doggie instead of both kitties! The picture to the left is not surprising; Quito doesn't mind the dog and at times even seems to emulate him. Or dominate him - you can see who's on top.

However, on the right, was the special double-decker bus. This cat freaks out whenever he's within a few feet of the dog (or even thinks he might be in the near future). But here he was, dozing on top of the bus! It didn't last long though...


And, I couldn't resist posting one more of old-man-doggie Zack. He got clipped yesterday and now looks like something in between a weasel, a snotty poodle with facelift surgery ,a chihuhua, and a skinny skinny lamb instead of the irresistibly cute shaggy dog you see below (by the way, he likes hanging out in his crate - we didn't put him there).

Sometimes old-man-doggie Zack is too weak to walk down the 3 flights of stairs from our condo (although this may be a vision issue as much as a strength issue). However, he gets suddenly quite strong (and smart) when it comes to foraging for food, or tissues, or cat litter, or whatever else suits his fancy that day.

So this senior doggie with food-only super powers struck again this week, chewing through a metal container for some chocolate-covered altoids:

Zack says, DID WANT.

Friday pet blogging: Bad dog caught green-headed.

Last week, I found Zack sitting like this, staring at the wall, trying not to look guilty:

Who me? I didn't do anything! I'm just sittin' here...

Hahahahaha. He raided the trash as usual, but this time he got the swingy-lid stuck on his head. This dog will eat anything, with tissues or any other paper products with snot or other secretions on them and cat litter being near the top of the list. Sad thing for him was that all this garbage can had in it was a piece of junk mail.

Friday petblogging

Ok, I know. It's Saturday. But I'm always a little behind the curve.

Meet Zack:



Zack really likes bathtubs. Not for baths, but to get that yummy water he loves extra fresh, straight from the source. This picture is from when we first moved in to the new place. The first thing he did when we got there was check out the bathtub situation.

And the kitties, wrestling:




I was inspired to start petblogging this week by the hilarious result of Zack being a naughty dog, but I can't find the camera to upload that picture. So you'll just have to come back next week to see it!
