R.I.P. Boots

I think we've lost another one of our cats :( Boots has been gone for just about 24 hours now, and that's really unlike him. He was such a loving, sweet boy. He loved to just lounge on your lap, and he and Charlie had a developed a very sweet friendship. Cory and Boots were quite the dynamic duo, too. And poor Zephyr... she was quite wary of him at first, but they became great pals. She's keeps looking at me and meowing. It's such bullshit - Boots was really, really young. We've only had him for a little over a year because we lost our other cat Gordo. It's all these male cats - they get so adventurous and wild... it just breaks my heart. I've still got a bit of hope left in me that he's on his own little trip and he'll be back... but, I don't know.

BFFs

Our cats always come around to a new dog - they're always a bit put off at first, but that's totally to be expected!

Zephyr, the older of our two cats, has always had a very aloof attitude when it comes to the other animals - her nickname is "Miss Priss" and she kind of runs her own show. We absolutely love her for it.

Boots, on the other hand, is really bonding with Mister Charlie! The two of them are forming a very sweet friendship, and whenever Charlie sees Boots around he follows him and always tries to play or cuddle.

I snapped a few photos of the two just a few minutes ago. I was cooking some food up for Cory in the kitchen and I turned around to see Boots totally sprawled on the floor with Charlie right there with him. It's adorable!

Good Dog Charlie

Come Charlie.


Sit Charlie.


Stay Charlie... Charlie... Charlie!


Oh hi, hey, hi!


We're still working on the "Stay" aspect of training. And Zephyr is still working on her hospitality skills. She just keeps looking at me like, "are you kidding me? You didn't clear this one with me..." All in good time...
