Local Wildlife

The last couple of days, we've had some visitors to the homestead and boy does my human Jeanne act funny. I had to go potty one night and we went to the edge of the driveway to take care of business. I noticed some movement in the field and Jeanne looked with a flashlight and there was a black cat with a white stripe down it's back. I know cats, so I wanted to get closer but she wouldn't let me and we went inside quick. Turns out, it wasn't a cat but something my humans called a skunk. I still don't know what the big deal was, but they told me story of their other dog Niko who pulled my human Lance into a skunk and they both got very stinky. Go figure.

Three nights in a row, that skunk was in the field and Jeanne brought me in real quick. For a couple more nights it was boring outside but then I saw some movement again in the trees. It was bigger this time, but I got my business taken care of and we started back into the house. All of a sudden a loud howl sounded and it was really close. A few seconds later a ruckus erupted and my human pulled me inside lickity split. We have coyotes and she thought they thought I looked like lunch. Personally, I think they thought she was lunch, the big scarredy cat.

My Mates

At my house, there are these 2 cats, yes I know "dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria". They're okay though. Awhile ago we all met and it was decided, they go their way, I'll go mine. They didn't have to bat me in the head to tell me so, but there you go. I guess they were intimidated by my fabulous good looks. I do have to admit though, they have some impressive batting skills and jumping skills. They can get up high lightning fast.

Then there's the fish. Talk about boring. All they do is move around the small glass tank and eat and poop. Right now, since they're kinda new, my one human spends more time than I think he should taking care of them. But hey, even I sometimes get mesmerized watching them. When no one else is looking of course :P

Just a quick update on things, I'm still getting new teeth in. IT STINKS! I'll keep you posted.

Bye for now,
Loki

P.S. Happy birthday human Jeanne, XOXO
