A Blog for the Dog


Poor Lester. I'm afraid he's being left out in the cold as far as these blogs. I have had to devote some time to his sisters, getting them all fixed and so forth. Hormones were getting out of hand with Cindy, and would've with her sib soon enough.

So this guy here. He doesn't like to be photographed, so I have to sneak up on him to do it. Getting more settled, and just a little disoriented, in his advancing age. Doesn't bark like a wildman at the door anymore(he useta go nuts when the postman would be on the porch, "violating" our house by putting stuff in the mailbox), and sometimes gets a bit confused.

But he's still hanging in there. (His ears must be burning, as he just made an appearance here in the room). And he gets along famously with the felines. They invade each other's space much more than was the case with the cats' predecessor Maxine. A different dynamic, as it were. Not getting any younger,but still hanging in.

Cindy and Jill- back Inaction


This is about a month late, but better late than never. Gotta work on this problem of - how you say- dilatoriness. I'm gonna go for the ten-dollar word here, since I can always change it if it's wrong. Tardiness, lateness. Get more on shhedule, as the Brits might say.

Anyway, after a turbulent July here in the Roundly household, things have settled down with my two felines. They're both fixed, and all the feline histrionics(hissing, bullying, general shitheadedness)have gone completely. It was worse with Cindy coming home to a wacko Jill after being done than Jill coming home to Cindy. Jill is inherently nuttier anyway. So they're back to being my dynamic duo, aka the Investigation Team as they plow the dining room table for anything they can knock to the floor and bat around from there.

Actually it was probably more than a month before things were completely back. There was an iciness with the girls that went on a week or two after both were de-ovaried. But thank goodness everything's back on the track. Animals hate change, and like their routines. And so does their adopted human.
