Then this white cat comes in and adopts us. The grandkid named it Oreo. So now we have four cats hanging out here. Outside cats! No dogs.

James, outdoor cats can be good to have around. I don't keep one, but the neighbor usually has a couple. My dog used to try to play frisbee with them, but the cats weren't interested. probably for a full life, one or both should be included. Amen, brother.

A week ago we became foster parents of a 7 year old German Shepard. Gracie had been the future daughter-in-laws dog till life changed for and Gracie had to be rehomed. Now she’s here and with some love and attention I think she’ll be a great addition to the family.

....... well I am sorry, but houses are for people. Dogs and cats are outside critters. Do not let them in the house. They should have their own house out back.

James, My dad is of the same opinion. Imagine his horror when brother and family came from New York and brought their D-O-G! Step Mom was in a tizzy. This is a large indoor boxer. They survived. Well behaved dog however. I'd never leave a dog outside, especially in town where people complain about barking, etc.

Gracie isn’t much help when fixing fence but she is good company.

It’s said that all good things come to an end and thus our foster parenting of Gracie has ended. In reality I guess this was never supposed to be her forever home but it’s easy to get attached. Seems like a real nice family that willingly jumped in the car with but truthfully I would have been quite happy for her to stay with us.

I never cease to marvel at the ancient, mysterious, natural bond between humans and dogs that's developed over thousands of years. Cats, horses, and other critters, too, but especially dogs. We're made for each other.

If all goes well with sweethearts surgery today and she feels well enough looks like we’re going on a road trip to Indiana tomorrow to look at Aussie puppy. To tell you that I’m not excited would be a lie! 😂

I've had Aussies, and I understand your excitement! They are phenomenal dogs...smart, eager, athletic, and very personable. They do like their outdoor running, but very well behaved indoors and around kids.

I was out front working this morning when around the corner neighbors came walking by...A Mom, 2 sons and their dog... They, either together or separately, walk their Golden Retriever every day, often many times a day, and come past the house... The dog is elderly now and walks at a real bo-dee-oh kind of pace...He's a sweetie...
Today, the dog, Beau, was riding in a wagon being pulled by one of the boys...He was so cute in there looking out all around, over the edge of the wagon... The Mom told me it was Beau's last 'walk' around the neighborhood...His age caught up with him and his mobility was not good anymore... So today was Beau's last day...He's 14... I was glad I was out there to be able to give him one last goodbye petting and got a kiss...
Over the years, I've watched Beau grow up from a frisky one to his now maturity...Watched the boys grow up too... They're good people and took good care of their doggy, Beau...
