I'm finding it harder and harder to concentrate and focus. I am not sure what that means for my blog in the future but for now I just post stories about pets. This beautiful black lab is our son's dog and we're watching him for a year while he is deployed. He has my wife wrapped around his big huge paw and she took him to the dog park as well is getting his picture taken with Santa. He wasn't really a good boy because he kept jerking my wife's arm trying to see things. He met a huge dog at Pet Smart and about ripped my wife's arm off getting over next to him. He really likes other dogs but cats are a total mystery to him.
After we lost Macy there was about 2 months where he was the only pet in our house. Then we adopted a pair of bonded cats. Fortunately for Atlas they are declawed. He can't figure out why they don't want to play with his toys. He tries to give the cats a toy to play with and they just smack him in the nose, hiss and yowl. Occasionally he gets to sniff them and once in a while even gets to lick them before they smack him. All this animosity has made him extremely insecure. When Matt comes over to give me lunch and sits down on the couch he climbs on top of him like a lapdog. Imagine a 95 pound lapdog. He does the same thing with my wife. The funniest thing is that one night last week my wife put one of the cats on my legs and she stayed there. Usually at bedtime as soon as my wife leaves he follows her into the living room. That is what happened the night she put the cat in my leg. After she left here comes Atlas who jumps up on the bed and chases the kitty away. Then he laid on top of my shoulder till my wife came to bed over an hour later. Last few nights he has stayed in their after my wife leaves and I think he is either jealous of the cats or he is protecting me from them. He has turned into a big baby.
