A Peaceful Evening

Usually, when Cholla is somewhere in the vicinity of Hoku, Hoku insists in trying to get her to play. The whole process is exhausting for both animals, perhaps mostly for the cat. Cholla is exhausted with all the hissing and swiping and running every which way but away (think she's playing?). Hoku bounces all over the place until he just plops down on the floor panting.

Here's how it all ended up one evening recently. No way either animal is going to look at the other! Harry's just enjoying the peace and quiet!

Um, any ideas on how to get the dog to pick up his toys?

Back on the Cat and Dog Watch

The cat and dog photographer has been out of commission for a few weeks. But the cat and dog are still "at it" with their attitudes (that would be cattitude in the case of Cholla the Cat).

One dominant dogma in Cholla's existence in our household, through two dogs, has been, "If there's a bowl of water on any horizontal surface, it's mine!" Thus, this picture. Morning routine is to wash and refill Hoku's water bowl, THEN fill the food dish. The time between placing the water dish on the floor and getting back with the food dish was just enough time for the water princess to take her rightful place in front of said water dish.

Hoku stood back for a few seconds. But then hunger overtook him. This picture was taken just an instant before Cholla took a swipe at a Hoku ear. Note Hoku's tail is between his legs as he is anticipating said swipe.
