Andy-Bob and Sparrow Legs

Update on the two kittens. They are samurai (the tan one) and Ninja (the black one). They now weigh more than my cat(about a year now) and they are only a couple months old. Vitimins, yep...good old kitty steroids. Ninja enjoys playing on dad as a jungle gym, and Samurai has caught two sparrows already. This is a feat for two deck dwelling cats. The deck is 14 ft off the ground. He caught them balancing on the railing. We managed to get most of the feathers out of the "solar" dad made for them, which is a 6x3x3 glass enclosure where the door is to the deck. its easier for him to feed them.but we somehow missed the sparrow leg. the other day, a squirrel was on the deck. Dad, who hates all squirrels, told andy (the dog) to sic em. the dog laid down and moaned. Samurai came over in the midst of a blue streak, let out a high pitched mew, puffed up, rubbed against dad, then shot off the deck. We didnt even know he could race down the stairs, let alone knew what they were for. the cat chases the squirrel to the fence (electrocuted) and almost catches it. So he races back up the stairs, where dad gives him treats and much petting. we will be putting a bell on him to keep him from eating too many birds. sparrows he can eat his fill of though, and starlings.

the dog, known as andy, is now andy-bob. He has gained enough weight since the kittens have arrived (food jealousy) to add another dog. Thus bob was born. andy will run away, bob is too lazy, bob wont share food, andy will. he doesnt like us making fun of him either. for some odd reason. andy-bob will eventually become andy-bob-sid if he keeps hoggin all the food. a dog with multiple personalities....an i live in a sane world.

who needs cable with this kind of entertainment?
