Every body and every thing gets along in my harmonious little home, be it human or web footed, or four legged. I have my office on the upper level of my house so I need to go down a short flight of stairs to get any where except bed. In the office I have 2 big pillows for the dogs and this small bed for the kitty. No one has any particular sleeping place assigned and it is not at all unusual to see 2 animals sleeping on one of the pillows or one of the animals in this cat bed. It is rather unusual to see 2 animals in the cat bed though.
This is Elvira the dog and Icarus the calico cat. Aren't they cute? Daisy is over on one of the pillows. I could not resist this shot. Now you should know, that if I decide to set it the recliner and put my feet up, the first thing that happens is Icarus jumps up on my chest and lays down. Then Elvira jumps up and lays on my right arm. Daisy, not to be outdone then plops on my legs. Elvira will reach over and smack the cat on the head several times trying to get a reaction. Reaction is usually for me to stand up because the whole concept of the recliner is then lost.
When I go outside to either let the waterfowl out or put them in, I am also accompanied by this menagerie. If I go down to sew, they each have their place in the sewing room. Weave and the same thing. Never guess what happens when it is bedtime!
So there you have my social life in a nut shell. I get more unconditional love in one day right here at home then most people get in their whole life through. All my little animals came from either the pound or some where that was going to end up in the pound. I always thought I would like to have a Standard Poodle, but pound never seems to get them, so I am happy with my bunch of little ankle biters! What they lack in size they make up for in devotion.
