Our pets.

I have been inspired by my Poogie's sweet friend (who I will now call Sweet Pea) who received an adorable puppy for her birthday to put a few pics of our sweet pets on my blog.

Allow me to introduce Claudy Mae aka Pus. Poogie named her Puss in Boots when we adopted her. Her name was Claudette when we got her, but no one really liked it. So Poogie named her and the name stuck. However, it is quite embarrassing to call her by that name so in public we call her Claudy Mae. We have identified her to be a Russian Blue cat. What's funny is that she doesn't really act like a cat. She runs, or I should say gallops like a horse. Stealth is not her strong suit. She begs at the table like a dog and will eat almost anything. In her free time she likes to give our Chihuahua a tongue bath.

While our cat doesn't act like a cat, our dog, Buffy, believes that she is actually a child, just like Poogie and TT. She is the first person my hubby must greet upon coming home. If not she pouts something terrible. She loves snow and likes to try to catch snowflakes in her mouth. That is what lead to the photo of her. We had some sand delivered for our swimming pool two summers ago and she dove into it like it was snow. We all laughed until we cried at her wild behavior. She barks like a T-Rex but runs at the first sight of trouble. She is unusual, but that's okay. She is a perfect fit for our unusual family.

Without our pets our lives would not be near as interesting as they are now. They are our friends, without whom life would be quite lonely.
