Animal Antics at home!

I don’t know if you have realised (probably because I haven’t made it clear before I don’t think) we have three animals - my little dog Maisie and the two ginger cats, Melody and Tara.

Of course they all have their own personalities, likes and dislikes and want attention, food, love and affection.  And yes, I would probably say that Maisie is my favourite (because she was bought for me specifically) but I love the cats too.  Funny thing is, Kevin and Johnathan prefer the cats, so it all works out in the end.

The one thing I should say is that animals can be REALLY funny!   Years ago, my parents had a big dog called Jessie and I was getting some food ready in the kitchen and preparing something for the two guys sitting there (one of whom was scared of dogs).

Now I don’t know if you have been asked animals much but they always seem to KNOW the people that are scared of them.  And with this knowledge comes the ability to do something they KNOW the person won’t like!

So Jessie went under the table and got this poor man’s sweater off the chair he had placed it on and started to run round the kitchen.  Of course he was worried she might have got some holes in it but I knew she wouldn’t have.

After evading three attempts at capturing her I finally caught her and took the jumper away and spread it out to show him it was ok.

At this point, the little rascal jumped up to the sideboard where I was cutting bread (one of her favourite bits of food to steal) and grabbed the big part of the loaf that was there. She knew what she was doing!

TREASURE

Jessie was a wonderful dog and I am so glad we got her all those years ago.
