Farm Dogs, Farm Cats - Living The Good Life

The dogs and cats here are indeed living the good life. A case in point would be this collection of Clover, Daphne, Fergus and Jack lounging in the kitchen corner:

The cats stay in the house, but the dogs get to go out into their fenced yard often:

They seem to love it outdoors but still often collect at the gate, waiting for me to let them back in:

Bugsy is now the only cat who joins the dogs on the floor pillows, but he climbs right in on the pile:

Daisy has several favorite spots to nap, and this bed on top of a bureau is one of them:

Clover, Fergus and Daphne. Notice that Fergus couldn't restrain his yawn long enough for me to snap a picture. Or maybe he was making an editorial comment:

Bugsy again, making himself comfortable between Clover and Daphne:

Daphne is the only dog who goes inside the dog house, sometimes using it for shade or shelter from the rain:

Old Georgette began climbing to the tipsy top of an upstairs cat tree. She spent much time there, clearly not worried about it toppling:

Bugsy cuddled up against his friend, Clover, while Fergus kept a bit of distance:

Outdoors by the maple tree, a perfect spot to bark their fool heads off at everything that moves, real or imaginary:

One more shot of the beloved green floor pillow, this time with Clover, Bugsy, Fergus and Daphne:
