1. J-Bear's hayfever is making her the Cough Queen of the West Side, poor thing (trickly snot - ergh!!!)
2. Bellamy put on some bulk last week and stopped being a skinny thing. This week his paws grew, so no doubt in the next two weeks his body will rapidly grow and all the bulk he put on will melt away again. The scary thing is, he is now the size of ( Read more... )

Bellamy has a habit of sharing himself with various people, or more specifically their laps. As of this evening, the list of people who must be cuddled in his sleep has been expanded to include the dogs. Earlier this evening he hopped off my lap to go and curl up next to Nutmeg (who promptly abandoned him when I got up to leave the room) and he's ( Read more... )

There is celebration in the streets hall as the Feline Freedom Party and the Canine Allience announced an end to the civil war. The Feline Party representative was sitting next to the UN on the Couch, when President Digby asked to be allowed up. Captain Bellamy permitted the request, and spent the rest of the night asleep next to the President. ( Read more... )

The Peace Accord between the Feline Freedom Party and the ruling Canine Alliance has temporarily broken down, and there is a split in the Canine Alliance itself. The extremely enthusiastic Labrador Party, headed by President Digby, feels that the Peace Process is taking too long, and his enthusiasm for welcoming Captain B. Flynn into government is ( Read more... )

Peace negotiations between the ruling Canine Alliance and the independent Feline Freedom Party have continued well. Captain Bellamy Flynn has continued to loudly state the party line, but has become increasingly distracted by the Canine Alliance's lovely, swishy tails... that move. And twitch. And moveProvided the Captain avoids biting the ( Read more... )

There is some intense negotiation going on between the Feline Freedom Party and the conservative Canine Alliance. The Kitchen Treaty is being discussed as we speak. President Digby is inviting the rebel Feline Party to join government and is being hopeful and considerate, and doing all he can to further negotiations, including taking several self- ( Read more... )

We currently have one small cat and 2 big (well, one big and one medium size) dogs in the room together. Bellamy is sitting in a cat cage growling, Nutmeg is pottering about and Digby is sitting next to the cat cage looking hopefully at the cage. And Bellamy has just this minute stopped growling. He can get out of the cage if he wants, and has done ( Read more... )

Things being what they are, this may all change again in the next day or so, but I think I have settled on Captain Bellamy Flynn as a name for the New Boy. A big name for a small cat, with lots of growing room. I explained before the 'Captain' reference, and Captain Flynn/Flint merge nicely. Also an homage to Errol Flynn and derring do. Bellamy was ( Read more... )

It's been a blustery day; warm and windy. The result, in addition to my huge amount of washing drying particularly fast, is that the dog has been hysterical, all day. Last night he had a shouting match with the Big Dog In The Sky during a thunderstorm and nothing would shut him up; today he's been bouncing, running and generally trying to wear out ( Read more... )

This has been a good weekend ( Read more... )
