Our chihuahua buied Susan while we went to the store. When we returned, she dug Susan up and tried to convince us that she had rescued Susan. Of course, the shock killed Susan.<br /><br />2.

Bob didn't even like cats, but Avonga won him over. She tied a string around his heart and never released it. She used to walk around the block with us. Dogs would walk up to her and she would hold a conversation with them and then continue on with us. She had no use with other cats. Even kittens caused her to growl and hiss. I always felt it was a mean cat or possum that put her in the hospital for two weeks. While there, you used to visit her on your lunch hour.M Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-88644126507378868942011-04-21T10:50:09.833-05:002011-04-21T10:50:09.833-05:00BluesBluesNWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-80054819971628034182011-04-21T09:42:46.479-05:002011-04-21T09:42:46.479-05:00Sounds like the opening line of a folk song.Sounds like the opening line of a folk song.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-30672198261675722822011-04-21T09:42:03.665-05:002011-04-21T09:42:03.665-05:00Lety is going to do well.

No matter the size of dogs, they would not eat you. But cats cover their poop. Dogs leave it out for you to step in. There is no perfect world with animals, which is why I avoid them.Felipe Zapatahttp://zapatatales.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-63782607565860301162011-04-21T06:37:49.300-05:002011-04-21T06:37:49.300-05:00Great markings on the cat!

When we had been without a kitty for about a month, he came home one evening with a little scrap of fur . Some kids were giving them away outside a store and this was the last one in the box. He said "I couldn't just leave him there to get a complex from being unwanted." Truth probably is that's the same reason he brought me home. LOL <br /><br /> I think it's very nice you are being caretaker/jailer temporarily to this abandoned cat. She's elegant. Seems to me, she and Bliss's Sol would be an exceptional pair to draw.
