I wanted to update everyone on our pets situation. Not sure how long or what I covered in previous posts. I have problems remembering things and more than ever. If you asked me when I woke up I would tell you it was a Thursday in April. Why then I don't know. It doesn't take me long to realize it is not April but some days I don't realize what day of the week it is until evening TV is on. I never used to have these problems until about a year ago. Some things I could spend two or three hours and then can remember but accessing the memory gets more and more difficult. So enough of me I will cover the pets situation now realizing what I posted in the past.
Our beautiful Macy succumbed last fall. I missed her affection and so a few months later we looked for new Cat. We found one that seemed like she could be affected but she was part of a bonded pair. My wife end up deciding we would take both. Neither are affectionate but one named Lacy Lou but seems like she was heading that way until we got our one-year-old chocolate lab named Jordan.
We knew that our son Tom was taking Atlas. This happened in early July but we've had him living with us for year while our son was deployed. We are really attached to him and knew we would miss him terribly so we thought we would get another dog sometime either before he left or after. We wanted a dog about three years old but this one became available because the the owners job change so that she would be traveling much more and she didn't think it was fair to board the dog that much. She didn't want to give it to a shelter so by word-of-mouth we accepted her. My wife went to their house and met her and then she came here to see if she got along with the cats. Cats didn't like her, which we expected, but we can tell she would never hurt them and we became attached to her and accepted her even though she was a lot of puppy. So now we have one younger Labrador and two cats. They are pretty entertaining but are not as affectionate as Macy was. Sometimes Jordan cuddles with me. She was very jealous of Tom dog and the cats. She wants to be the center of attention and is. She is kind of a handful my wife to deal with but I think we are heading in the right direction. Occasionally she sleeps with her at on me and I really like that. We miss Atlas and Tom would not let him stay here even though we wanted to keep him. Is pretty close to perfect and the sweetest dog we've ever seen. He is not perfect but pretty close. Jordan has a lot of puppy in her and we hope she mellows out as she gets older. Some days she is very sweet and some days she is a troublemaker. The cats tease her and she has figured out one of them but the other one is always playing games with her. Sometimes they deliberately get her to chase them and then they run into their bedroom that has a gate With a cat door. I will sign off now because my voice is fading. I hope I can remember pet stories to post later.
