Animals

Fluffy is 10 this year. I usually have al his fur sheared off in April so I do not have to put up with all the shedding. But when his fur was growing back over the winter, the fur along his back bone looked thin and like something was wrong with it. It is fine now and if I can put up with continually sweeping, vacuuming and brushing the cat hair up, I will not have it sheared.

This is Fluffy laying on my sleeping son. He just loves to lay on anyone sleeping or anyone in the recliner!

I just could not leave out Cassie. She is 11 this year. Her face is almost completely white now. She is the best little weiner dog!

Cassie the Wiener Dog

We have a weiner dog named Cassie. She is about 10 years old and is the best. She has more gray hair than I do. She loves to ride the four wheeler with me or just run beside it. At Christmas, we buy her stuffed toys with squeakies in them and wrap them. She can find which one is hers under the tree. We have video of her unwrapping them. She does not like any toy but those and it takes her about 30 minutes to rip the seams, pull out all the stuffing in little cotton balls, pull the squeaky out and destroy it. Then she is through with it. She wants a blanket or pillow to go over her when she sleeps. Cassie is very obedient and knows what is said to her, like you ready for bed? you want a bath? (see hides under something), you want to go?

When my sons scuffle or anyone plays like they are hurting someone, Cassie will bark and run jump up at them until they stop. If anyone is eating, she sits beside them waiting for a bite. If the kitty walks into the room, she will growl or bark and run at him. She does that when we just say: Fluffy's gonna get your food.
