I realize that I've never really taken the time to post pictures or talk about my pets. So, I'm doing a post about it now. By the way, I'm trying to do a post at least every other day, but don't throw tomatoes if I forget a day! Anyway, back to my pets.
DOODLE:
Doodle is a lovable cross between a dachshund and a chihuahua. She is a small lap dog that loves people and licking toes (never wear sandals around her). Color: Mostly black with some brown and white. Personality: Lovable and loves everyone. Hates other dogs. We wish she liked other dogs, but she despises them and barks every time one comes near. She's all bark and no bite. Hates collars, doesn't mind harnesses. Lap dog.
TEO/ALIEN
You can see by the second picture why we call her "Alien". SHE HAS HUGE EYES! (her left eye doesn't really look like that, it's only the glare of the camera flash). My dad found her at a car dealership, starved and her face covered in tar. She has never had very good eyesight because of this, and she's very cautious. Color: Mostly white with splotches of grey and stripes and spots of black inside the grey. Personality: Jumpy, sweet, and love love LOVES catnip (she finds the leftovers from long ago on the cat tree and goes crazy, and then she gets really tired and goes to sleep). Causes trouble. Only likes to be held when she decides to climb into your arms, only likes to sleep on your lap when she climbs on.
SNOO
My dad added the speech bubble on the second one. Snoo is the last homeborn cat we have. Color: Black all the way through. Green eyes. Personality: Playful and protective. Any foreign cat on "his" territory that threatens him, he never goes down without a fight. And usually, he wins. He soaks up attention when you pet him, but if you so much as brush up against his belly fur, he switches into playful mood and begins to bat at your hand. WARNING: DO NOT RUB HIS TUMMY! He then switches out of playful mood and into grabbing-your-hand-with-his-front-paws-and-biting-the-fingers mode.
KINA
Kina is the oldest cat we have. When we first got her, she was already old. We've had her since I was five. Color: Black. Fur sticks together in tufts because she is no longer flexible enough to clean herself. Personality: She used to be a grouchy old lady who enjoyed getting on places she wasn't supposed to. While she still gets on places she's not supposed to, she enjoys being held now, as long as she gets to choose when she leaves. Spends most of her time sleeping (no surprise there...she is a cat...) and hoggs the food only slightly less than Snoo, although she is much thinner than she used to be.
