I had a cat that looked like Grizzly once....he was a HUGE baby (except around other male cats). My little outdoor guy, Powder, has been missing since Sunday night (pictured earlier in the thread on the hood of the S), and I'm afraid a coyote got him.
Here's my 17-year-old (she'll be 18 mid-May):
She's definitely a quirky little thing...deaf, but has all of her teeth.
BATHROOMS: Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary
to do anything. Just sit and stare.
DOORS: Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get door open,
stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not
necessary to use it. After you have ordered an outside door
opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is
particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito
season.
CHAIRS AND RUGS: If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you
cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug,
shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so it is
as long as a humans bare foot.
HAMPERING: If one of your humans is engaged in some activity and the
other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called helping,
otherwise known as hampering. Following are the rules for
hampering:
1) When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook.
You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being tepped on and
then picked up and comforted.
2) For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book,
unless you can lie across the book itself.
3) For paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as
to obscure as much of the work as possible or at least. Pretend to doze, but
every so often reach out and slap the pencil or pen.
4) For people paying bills or working on income taxes or Christmas
cards, keep in mind the aim: to hamper! First, sit on the paper being worked
on. When dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the table. When activity
proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them to the best of
your ability. After being removed for the second time, push pens, pencils,
and erasers off the table, one at a time.
5) When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to
jump on the back of the paper. Humans love to jump.
6) When human is working at computer, jump up on desk, walk across
keyboard, bat at mouse pointer on screen and then lay in human's lap across
arms, hampering typing in progress.
WALKING: As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in
front of the human, especially: on stairs, when they have something in their
arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help
their coordination skills.
BEDTIME: Always sleep on the human at night so he/she cannot move
around.
LITTER BOX: When using the litter box, be sure to kick as much litter
out of the box as possible. Humans love the feel of kitty litter between
their toes.
HIDING: Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans cannot find
you. Do not come out for three to four hours under any circumstances. This
will cause the humans to panic (which they love) thinking that you have run
away or are lost. Once you do come out, the humans will cover you with love
and kisses and you will probably get a treat.
ONE LAST THOUGHT: Whenever possible, get close to a human, especially
their face, turn around, and present your butt to them. Humans love this, so
do it often. And don't forget guests.
We aren't sure which one he is yet but he's one of those 6.
Pepe is short for Berdia's Red Hot Chile Pepper. He's a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retreiver, our second. He was born first week of March so those photos are a bit old. The breeder is a technophite so these new fangled digital cameras are a bit of a mystery to him.
There are other photos of our other dog, Berdia's Caffrey (Caffrey for short), there too.
I'll be heading up to Ottawa Canada around Mother's day to pick him up
Allow me to introduce Tod, short for "Ch. Bunratty's Tod Moran ME". My wonderful wife Hilary raised Tod from pup. Tod is a Norwich Terrier and loves to chase critters. In fact he is so devoted to critter chasing he is the first of his breed to attain an AKC Master Earthdog title.
