Another Visit from Tom and Atlas

Tom and Atlas are here for another extended visit. Tom is going to the NCAA basketball tournament in Des Moines. Yesterday morning Macy was on the bed with me for her morning brushing and chin scratching. The silly dog came in.

It was very entertaining. He wouldn’t get up on the bed because the cat gave him the stink eye. He went and got one of his tennis balls and then he would get up on the bed. He thought for sure the kitty would want the toy. He would drop it by her and I had to protect him from the vicious kitty from hitting him in the nose with her paw. So in this photo I’m actually holding the cat back. She has no claws so the dog is safe. He brought a 3 different balls but she didn’t want to play. He just can’t figure her out. Later in the day he brought her a toy that is sort of like a sock puppet but she wasn’t interested. He was so disappointed, he thought for sure she would like that one.

Every time Tom and Atlas visit Macy becomes more comfortable with him. Now she will sit on the couch that he is on as long as Janette sits between them. Maybe someday they’ll actually cuddle.
