I love my dogs as well- they are Shelties, and every night around 7-ish they put on a show for us as we sit on the couch watching TV...they have a play fight, which they do on the rug in between the couch and TV. Really funny, they stay on the mat, and try to force the other off. The male is twice the size of the female, yet she often times wins. She is slightly older, but uses his mass against him all the time.
The cats all have very distinct personalities, with the littlest (the female) being undoubtedly "my" cat- while the dogs entertain us, she gets up on the back of the couch and "washes" my hair...:blink: At night, she curls up on the bed between my feet, thus keeping them warm. The oldest cat, Bob, has no tail- hence the name "Bob"- and is a black and white bigster who keeps the house in order, punishing those who step out of line. The other cat Piper, is also mostly tailless, but is a tabby. He will follow us around the neighborhood like a dog as we visit neighbors or just walk. He comes when he is called, and loves a good game of laser-pointer. He prefers to sleep in the front window, guarding his domain from intruders...
Best part of the cats is not having to deal with litterboxes! They all go outside to do their thing- usually to the neighbor's shrubberies. :icon_ devil::biggrin:
They're all spoiled, with separate dog and cat doors, treats for being good, and more...
