iPhone Pics & Pinterest Prose

iPhone pics + a quote that struck a chord =

I used to think I was the strangest person pet in the world.

But then, I thought, there are so many people pets in the world…

…there must be one just like me.

…who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.

I would imagine them, and imagine that they must be out there thinking about me, too.

Well, I hope you know that, yes, it’s true. I’m here…

…and I’m just as strange as you.  -Frida Kahlo

   I’m glad they are getting along well. So sweet. My dog and cat used to play hide and seek, sleep together etc. Love it. Mary in NY

   I would love to say that the cat who owns this house would be so loving, but, I know he would scratch that dog’s eyes out….HE IS THE KING AND HE WOULD NOT SHARE HIS KINGDOM.

   It’s so nice that they get along! My little dog wants nothing in the world more than to be friends with a cat but she has not found one yet that is agreeable to this!

   These cute pics made me think about our dog Jack and her former house mate Fred (a cat). When they lived together Fred used to kiss and lick Jack and she would do the same to him. They would sleep curled up together and even watch TV cuddled on the couch. When one went upstairs-the other went with. They would sit at the window side by side and watch the world go by. They were the best buddies. Seeing your cute family members brings back such sweet memories. Even though they don’t live together any more–they both are doing well and loving their lives. Jack is our spoiled little princess, and Fred is happy in his life with two other cats he adores and a dog we likes-but nothing like the relationship he had with our little Jackers…

    Ahhh, that is so precious. I’m all teary reading this. We lost our black lab earlier in the winter (she was 14), and our other pup is now lost without her. Sometimes we under-estimate the bond that animals have for one another! Such a sweet post! ~Kerri, A Pop of Pretty

      Kerri, reading YOUR note made ME teary eyed! Our “boys” will be 13 this year. The vet has told us that we need to start thinking about what we’ll do one when something happens to one of them. That the other would not be far behind for being so lost. I can’t stand the thought of it! My heart goes out to you and your little pup.

        Kerri & Lee,
        We did lose our sweet cairn terrorist, Buster, 16 months ago. http://www.fairfieldhousenj.com/2010/12/08/the-gift/
        His little buddy, our rat terrier, Scout, is lost without him. Dogs are pack animals and should have companions. We are looking for a breeder in our area. Just wanted you to know that both your comments pulled at my heart strings.

    We just lost our sweet boy Buster (dog) last week and our home isn’t quite the same without him. Seeing your cuties sunning themselves reminded me of my boy- that was one of his favorite activities. Pets truly are a part of the family- they have their own personalities and moods- and they add a dynamic to a family that can’t be reproduced. Thanks for the pictures- brought back good memories of my Buster boy.

    Awwww so cute. We lost our westiepoo last year and she was 17 what a blessing to have had her so long. We had to give our little pomeranian to our son to move in an apt a year ago but are getting ready to move again and get her back. I can’t wait. She is the biggest blessing and my husband wants to get a cat. I hope we find one that loves her like we do. Thanks for sharing. That made my day

    We have the same pair in my household. Our cat bathes the dogs and then if we happen to look over during, she gives them a nip just to ensure that we don’t think she is being too nice!
    It never fails to entertain my husband.

    Layla,
    Such sweet photographs and what an appropriate quote to go with them. Dogs are pack animals {even though Max is a chihuahua, he sees himself as a wolf!} and need the companionship of other pack members. It doesn’t matter if it’s not another dog…as long as the alpha {you or Kevin} accept the other animal into the pack! Bonding always goes smoother when one of the animals is a ‘youngster’. That being said, our Siamese sisters love Scout but fight like jealous girls with each other! : /
    Love,
    Deborah

    Reminds me of our neighbor’s sweet cat that would come and meow at the back door asking if our little doggie could come out and play. We would let him out and off they would go, usually to take a nap in the sun.
