DUDLEY & FRIENDS

With the addition of Spike & Dru to our happy little family, NOTHING is safe.  Not even my favorite new toy, a crinkly paper toy they got me from Petco for Christmas.  I play with it for hours and when I am not playing with it I put it safely away in her shoe.  If you leave anything in the vicinity of the two hellions:

Drusilla

Spike

they steal it and ruin it with their dog breath and slobber.  However, my good friend Andrew protects my toy for me while he looks on the two with disdain.

Andrew protecting the favored toy

Well, I’m back! It’s a new year and we have a new blog site.  One of the many reasons there hasn’t been any posts recently is that our Blogger site got hit with so many spam comments we had to move to a new host.  Who knew cats would be interested in Viagra?

So what’s been going on in our feline world?  For starters, let me just say for the four of us December is  a BAD month.  They were hardly ever home between work, birthdays and Christmas.  Then when they were home, they were so busy with their store fulfilling orders they barely remembered to feed us, much less pay any attention to us.  Finally, Christmas came and they disappeared to the family home all day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.   We saw them in the morning as they threw food at us and then late at night as they stumbled in to go to bed.  

Finally, the 26th came!  This is traditionally a day of resting and lots and lots of lap time.  But something was wrong right off the bat.  They were up and showered at 5:00AM and once again food was thrown at us as they stumbled out the door.  We didn’t see them again until 10PM when only one of them came back.  She was feeding us and mumbling something about “It’s going to take some getting used to, but in the end you guys will grow to love them.”  We tried to continue eating not focusing on the fact that one was gone and who were we going to “love”, until George looked out the back door.  The other one was out there in the dark and pouring rain and she was being attacked by little demons.  George, being the great protector, threw himself at the glass door howling.  Then the one inside said “No, it’s ok.  They are coming inside”.  WHOA, THEY’RE WHAT????????  And this is what walked in:

They’re D-O-G-S!!  Not one dog but two dogs!!! And they’ve been living in my house for two weeks.  I think they’re staying.  At first maybe I thought they were visiting for the holidays, but they seem pretty entrenched and the traitors don’t seem to be willing to take them back from where ever they came.  Their names appropriately enough are Spike and Drusilla and trust me they came straight out of the Hell Mouth!!!

My other three fellow felines have been much more accepting of the arrival of the demons.  However, I am not taking too kindly to MY PERSON fraternizing with dogs.  Since I have faced the fact Spike and Dru are staying I am trying to accept but I really want things to go back to the way they were.
