The Pets

I can't believe I have been at this for nearly two months and haven't once mentioned my pets.  Dogs, cats, fish, snails….we have them all.  Let's start with the dogs.  Gray is out almost 15 year old Italian greyhound.  The kindest most awkward creature on the planet.  He lives to stay warm which has been a challenge this winter.  Chip..short for Chippewa, is our 9 year old Maltese.  Nice guy with a  bit of a weight problem.  His dad was 6 pounds while is mom was 4.  Chip is pushing 15 pounds.  A genetic freak who we love anyway.  Lulu is the oldest of our cats at 14.  She doesn't come out much except to get scraps while I make my daughters lunch each morning.  Biscuit is our 13 year old tuxedo cat who loves his dad and is always by my side.  Kenzie lives in the garage due to her issues with the other cats.  Sometimes I feel bad for her but she is happier out there.  Can't say much about the fish except that two of the three are almost 4 years old.  That is old for a fish in this house.  The recent addition of a snail wraps up our zoo.  You probably notice out pets have one thing in common.  They are old.  When things start to go bad in a few years it will really go bad.  For now we love all of them and are glad they  are here with us.

By the way the surprise shower today went smoothly.  I delivered the dad to be to the party with no problems.

Until tomorrow,
Dave
