This isn't MY pet, but I love him so much he may as well be. He is my dog-nephew...the dog-brother of my lovely nieces (dog-son of their wonderful parents.)
What do you note in this picture? Do you see that the dog has a pet cat? Look more closely. THERE it is!
They live on mucho acreage, and have farm cats who hang around, but those are all varying degrees of black and white. This tabby came out of nowhere, and my brother reports the kitten was outside yelling her head off. The middle girl (ahhhh, are not middle children uniquely in tune with living creatures?) pondered that the cat wanted "JIM" (name changed to protect the identity of the Dog...he had his identity stolen last year and it took FOREVER to clear his name of the strip joint/murder allegations) so they let JIM out.
The two have been friends ever since.
Yep..."I wish I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd."
