Interspecies Relations
Sam is a big golden retriever. Marlowe is a small black cat. This is the pictorial story of Sam's desperate attempts to get Marlowe to play with her. (also, there are some really funny pictures of muddy Sam at the bottom.)
Sam and Marlowe met for the first time last week, when smittywing was house/dog sitting. Sam wanted to play with Marlowe, Marlowe didn't want to get squished. After now having spent two weekend together, they've moved to touching noses and what not and it's really adorable. Both are actually really dog/cat friendly. Marlowe is just a little more wary than Sam, cause he is the smaller of the two.
This is Marlowe on the stairs, *thinking* about venturing down into Sam's territory.
Marlowe came down a few stairs, so Sam jumped up on the couch, trying to get to him.
Getting closer . . .
NOSES! (this was so very very cute.)
smittywing brought Marlowe down, and Sam decided to jump up on Smitty's leg to get closer. Marlowe, who is the most zen cat in the world, just let Sam lick him. He just went limp and let the dog have her way with him.
Muddy Sam! (She got hosed down, and then went and rolled in the mud.)
*Really* muddy Sam!
