Cats And Dogs

July was too hot here, but August has mostly been quite pleasant, a time for old Seamus to hang out on his ramp by the Rugosa roses:

And indoors, the dogs and cats like to snooze together in the kitchen corner. This collection consisted of Bugsy, Clover, Fergus and Jack:

Sammy and Daisy in the farm house kitchen:

Jack dug a hole beneath a small maple tree, but the last time I was out there, it had been taken over by Daphne and Seamus:

Life is good, sunning themselves on the ramp: Fergus, Seamus, Jack and Daphne:

Little Clover likes to curl up in the tall grass by the fence:

Another kitchen corner collection: Caspar, Fergus, Clover, Jack and Daphne. Jack and Fergus are wearing belly-belts because they began peeing in the house again:

Dogs And Cats In August

Georgette threw caution to the wind and used a different cat tree from her normal favorite:

All five dogs watched me from their fenced yard. This is where they usually stay when I'm working outdoors:

But the favorite spot for both dogs and cats is the collection of floor pillows/dog beds on the kitchen floor. This scene included Clover, Snoozey and Bramble:

"Why have you jailed us, Dad?"

Clover, Fergus, Bramble, Rocky and Daphne:

And Jack, who was wearing his belly-belt because he'd started lifting his leg in the house:

Snoozey and Bramble. Snoozey is looking older every day - and he is old. But he seems happy and comfortable, so I am just letting him age without rushing him to the vet. There's no cure for old age. At least he's having a happy one:
