Rusty and Brandy

Rusty is still quite good with Rusty, but he is jealous of her. When I got out the grooming brushes to get Brandy familiar with them, Rusty immediately came over and laid down for me to brush him. (He loves being brushed!) They were both trying to get in the way of each other so that I could groom them both.

Then later on, I looked over and saw Rusty trying to take over Brandy's crate. Brandy did not like that and tried to get Rusty out. There was a loud yelp and Brandy rushed over to me for comfort. She had no serious damage but she did avoid Rusty for a short (very short) time. I had to pick the cage up in order to get Rusty out as he was trying to stake a claim.

We took Brandy outside for the first time and she loved chasing the leaves and running back and forth but we did not want to leave her out long as it was chilly and she started to shiver.

Before long both Rusty and Brandy tired themselves out and wanted to settle down with daddy in their favorite spot on the chesterfield.

Rusty Tries To Discipline Brandy

I am surprised at the way the two cats respond to Brandy. Brandy is constantly chasing after them both and will not leave them alone. Our gentle lady, Misty will watch Brandy from a safe distance but as soon as Brandy gets close to her, she takes off like a scared rabbit. Rusty, our rough and tumble male cat is actually quite good with her. The pup is always trying to nip at Rusty's paws or tail and Rusty will only give her a couple of taps on the head. He never puts his claws out or hisses.

However when Brandy got too close to Rusty's box, Rusty immediately jumped into it as much as to say "Oh no you don't. This is MY box."

Brandy looks like she is pleading - "Please let me in."

But Rusty would not budge and Brandy finally toddled off.

Brandy settled down in the living room as if to say "I will get into that box one day."

Pictures of Brandy

I

was asked to take lots of pictures of Brandy and I am only too pleased to do so. She is such fun and I keep my camera handy at all times. The only thing is by the time the camera clicks she has moved and I get a lot of pictures of her leg or her rear end as she runs after something else. The cats have been quite good actually. Brandy is fascinated by the cats and is always chasing after them and they mostly just run away. Misty likes to observe him from a chair under the table where she is safe but Rusty is more daring.

Friendship Award

Kathi passed this award on to me and told me that I could pass it on if I wish. She said that "You have been such a good friend and an inspiration too."

This means soooo much to me because to me this is what blogging is all about. The wonderful friends that I have met in the last ten months has been wonderful. I discovered a world that I never knew existed.

Thank you so much for this award Kathi as it has deep meaning for me and I appreciate it. For me to pass it on to a given number of people it too hard for me to do because I consider all my followers as my friends and so therefore I would pass it on to all of you. "Thanks For Being My Friend!"

Introducing Brandy!!

Well Brandy is here and she is so adorable. She is much smaller than we expected as we have always had larger dogs but she fits our current lifestyle. I did not post yesterday as I was not in my office all day. We stayed in the living room with Brandy to keep an eye on her and the cats. The cats do not like having an intruder in the house and they watch her very carefully from a distance. But she is a very loveable, cuddly baby that loves to play and I am sure the cats will come around eventually. I had a hard time getting a clear picture of her standing and she is always on the move.

The Calm Before The Storm

I have an old cardboard box in my office that I dare not get rid of because it is Rusty's favorite sleeping spot. Misty has tried to get in a few times and once she succeeded. Rusty was very unhappy with her and at first he laid down beside the box and then he kept batting at her until she finally gave up and got out. She then crawled into the basket that was sitting on the floor beside it.

Everything is peaceful now but what about when Brandy comes.

Who is going to claim the box then!!!!!!!

Come For A Walk With Us

Our weather right now is so unpredictable. We have has so much wind and rain and there is few really nice days. This morning the sun was shining so we thought we would take a chance and go for a walk down to the beach. We no sooner started out the door when the clouds drifted

in and it started to rain again. Well we decided to take a chance that it would pass over, and we

could see a little bit of blue poking through those clouds. So join us in our walk down to the park by the beach. The beautiful leaves have all fallen and cover the ground but there is still beauty in the trees and in the lake. We did enjoy our walk and it was nice to have you join us.
