Earthquake has found a playmate in our outdoor kitty, Coffee who became our third cat because he had a little issue with peeing all over the place. We couldn’t let him take a fateful trip into the forest, so he came home with us. Our job- give him food, water, playtime; His job- get rid of the mole which has destroyed our yard. I want to let this kitty come inside, but I live in fear of cat urine all over the place. ‘Nuff said. Peanut and Athena have started spending time out doors with Coffee. When they are indoors, they enjoy taunting the poor kitty.
Coffee has given up his cozy kennel to hang out underneath the house. Bonus points for keeping us rodent free. At least I don’t have to worry about him having a safe place to hide from bigger animals and he will stay warm and dry during the winter months. It’s like having a barn cat, except we don’t have a barn.
EQ is thrilled to have a friend waiting outside when he ventures out. Oregon Dad had to pick him up and carry him to the car so we could go to the dog park. EQ was perfectly content sitting in the yard playing with kitty. Of course, we didn’t hear any complaints once we arrived at the dog park and he was allowed to run off leash and play with the 40 or so other dogs there.
Earthquake is a VERY social pooch. He ran from one group of humans to the next, wagging his tail and greeting them happily. Everyone was in love with our pup and made numerous gasps about how big his paws are and what an adorable dog he is. In between visits with people, he romped with dogs of all sizes. I was amazed that all the dogs were well behaved. I mentioned to hubby that most people who bring their dogs to the dog park are probably better dog owners than those you might run into on the street or behind a chain link fence.
My good friend Meg sent me a great link of places that are dog friendly. Check out your area to see where poochy can go with you!
Oh, and I must mention, all the above photos were taken on my iPhone.
