Kato was off-lead until I spotted an off-lead Staffordshire Terrorist. The Staffy seemed fully engaged trying to bury his own head.

Dog Law is that both owners put their dogs on lead until diplomacy with full peace treaty has been established. Not shouting “Don’t worry he’s only playing” as the recipient of the “only playing” may not interpret it ( Read more... )

There was a knock at the front door. I looked at Canine (in)Security

“Any danger of a bark?” I enquired

“Oy, sheep bothering amigo” said Kato “It’s your turn”

Frodi stood up but trod on his tennis ball which distracted him.

The door knocked again. Frodi was deeply engrossed pushing his tennis ball around with his nose.

I glared.

Kato stood up, ( Read more... )

A distressed posh lady in the park said she had lost her poodle puppy near the cricket pavilion. She indicated with her hands something about the size of a CD case.
When Kato was at school they did sniffing retrieve lessons. A hanky was sniffed, hidden and then the dogs went to locate it. In an alternate universe, Kato would deeply inhale the ( Read more... )

On pre-bin day, I put the bins out after Kato walk. This sometimes means our bins are out on the pavement a little early contravening Galactic Bin Laws but we’re mavericks and that’s how we roll.

“Hi” ( Read more... )

“Katrina” Frodi asked Kato over breakfast “Have you ever been cat tested?”

“Yeah” said Kato, “like so ages ago”

“Did you pass?”

“Do you even need to ask that question?” Kato snapped but with the same expression as toast-theft denial expression.

“Did you revise?”

Not really, just looked at the internet the night before, human does the written test ( Read more... )

Kato has a sore on her back right. It’s been there awhile and she often meddles with it. It doesn’t have the sinister passive aggressive tumour look of Frodi’s lumps but it wasn’t healing up.

Kato shivered in the vets, visibly quaking and trembling. She managed to back herself under the seats which made the seats wobble. Vet is unsure what it is, ( Read more... )
