The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

  In the 3rd pic, the look on Cato's face is hysterical!     I was falling out of my chair laughing!  So funny!  Looks like an amazing walk on a gorgeous day!  The flowers are so pretty and colorful!  

Love Cato's face on the fourth photo with his little pink tongue sticking out... So sweet.....Feel so sorry for you Cato...sister always pouncing in you. Tara and Abby need to get together...she's a lot like Tara always wanting to beat someone's butt..and that means Brother. What if two of them got together and beat each other up so they'd know how it felt?.....Frightening ....cause I know Abby's a back street gangster and plays dirty biting   

Love all the spring flowers...and Oh that huge mud puddle with algae.....muddy photo opportunity missed? Or saved from a instant bath ? 

Hope you get your hair cut next week and cool off a bit Cato....baths are still that bad are they?

 

You two are a hoot........always on an adventure. Love all the pictures. Another pretty walk thru the park on what looks like the perfect day . If it makes you feel any better your not the only one's in for a  and cut this week.......just think how much cooler you all will be ........plus less hair to attract all that mud.........

You know, i bet if Tara and Abby got together, Tara would be the wimpiest bundle of pathetic wimpishness you could imagine. Lol.  Abby would trounce her!

I would LOVE to see it.

Mind you, i think Tara's confidence is growing.  Slowly.  They have been on the dogsitter's pack walks 4 x now, and although she still submits to everything, i don't think she is as scared.  And her tail goes back up quicker, after.

how does Pip cope with Abby's attacks?  Cato seems to enjoy 60%, endure 30% and get cross 10%, but he will tell anyone off, if necessary.  He pretend-snapped at a big clumsy Weimaraner (sp?) today, when it got too intrusive, and it backed off immediately. He is a Hero in a small furry superhero outfit. 

Usually he tries to run away from her teeth which go right for the spine...He's the peace lover........she's a nasty piece of work when she's in the mood which usually is over stimulation from Pip barking at someone walks past the house...If she hurts him he yelps when she's broken skin he'll turn on her and beat her up with a vengeance.....which I have to break up because I don't want blood drawn lol

I want to cut Pip and Abby down this summer and let them grow again...simply because Abby pulling his hair has broken it off or damaged it midway back to the hip...and no I can't save it...so thinking about a longish cut. But with less hair it exposes more for her to bite the skin....She's a little tornado and flustrates me so. She knows when I'm mad about her pulling out mouthfuls of hair because she immediate stops when told. No wonder they call female paws bitches

SO true!

Tara is genuinely sweet natured.  There is NEVER any malice in it, and if she gets ticked off, either by Cato or me, she backs off immediately, and often apologises (sniffing the ground, re-approaching with a shoulder roll so her head comes in lower than Cato, or licking).  But she is so enthusiastic about everything, she never learns not to do it again - because she forgets everything as soon as she gets excited next time.

She is just too fit, too well nourished, and has too much buoyancy! Lol.

We are all looking forward to (her) middle age!

That's good to hear cuz one might think she's just a lil stinker!

I should know, but I don't......are they littermates or close in age?

Cato is coming up for 3, Tara is nearly 18 months.

anyone know when middle age strikes? Lol

OH my gosh i absolutely love today's walk pics! Love Cato's face in pics 3 and 4 but the Pigeon Hunt is Priceless! 

Gorgeous flowers and can't wait to see that row of Cherry trees in bloom!

Me too!

Ya know, the more I look at that Pigeon Hunt pic, the more I think I have worked out what Cato was doing.

I think he was heading for the gate - cos we always go through the gate -  and he must have thought that the pigeon was 'over there'

Bless him.  He is such a Law Abiding Wee Citizen, isn't he?

(never occurred to him that he could jump through the fence Or that the pigeon was out of reach before the Hunt even started )

You mention Middle Age with my guys ranging in age from 5 to 13 I have yet to experience Middle Age........they may have days where they sleep a lot but I think it is a means of building up energy for the next go around. I think Middle Age is when it is just to much effort to get up and go anymore.

Excellent pictures as always. There's nothing like a good pigeon hunt.. We have two nesting in the tree near our garden.. Of course Donte tells them exactly what he thinks..
