FUR BABIES

This collage is of our granddawg Shadow with two of our grandkitties Aslan and Piper.
Aren't they adorable?

Shadow loves both of them, and they love him, too.  In fact, Aslan gives him a cat bath every night.

They each have their own distinctive personalities, too.  Shadow is 100% dachshund, and although he's now 12, he still gets excited when there's food around or the doorbell rings.

Aslan, being a young kitty, is hyper and curious about EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.  He's also a true flame point Siamese.  He's sneaky, too.

Piper, as the picture suggests, is a laid-back Norwegian forest cat who is easy to get along with and is playful.  He's a tad shy when folks visit he doesn't know, and they don't ever see him.  When he and Duke were kids, they used to play together incessantly.  Now, Duke still wants to play with him, but Piper doesn't seem inclined to do so.  Perhaps Duke's loud bark hurts his ears now?

In any case, I have two other fur grandbabies:  Tate, an orange tabby, and Joey, a silver Siamese.  They are equally sweet, but live in Arizona, so we don't see them often:

 

Tate loves everyone and is friendly and playful

 

Joey is shy until he knows you, but he and Tate

are good buddies, playing and hoodwinking!

 

 

I haven't included a picture of Duke in this post because he is not a granddawg, but our baby :).  He rates a post all to himself, and he's had several in the past.  Perhaps it's time to take more pictures of his antics and post.  Will do it soon.

 

By the way, all of them are in THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES series of books.  Tate and Joey are in Book 1, I AM SARGE; Duke and Piper come along in Book 2, I AM DACHSHUND; and Aslan makes his debut in Book 3, DACHSHUNDS FOREVER, still awaiting publication.
