My neighbors went to Oregon to visit relatives and asked if I was able to care for their pets while they were gone. I've done it once before and found their pets to be lovable and very pleasant so I said yes!!
Rupert is the black dog and he is just a huge goof ball. He is permanently happy.
He doesn't care much for the cold either.
Cat:
I guess this is a rare or pricey special breed of cat. He has a name but I don't recall what it is. He was given to our neighbors years ago by someone who couldn't keep him. Cat hisses at me a lot and then I pet him when he is eating.
This summer they left him alone in the house while they went camping and took the dogs. Apparently the cat got sick from anxiety and lack of company. So I am making sure Cat has human time at least 3 times a day while they are gone.
My walk in the woods with Charlie was pleasant and I was surprised by how much green there is out there yet. With the coming frost it should change quickly.
I guess I'm getting a lot of extra walks in this week. This is fine, I'm really enjoying the time with the neighbor's pets.
That cat has such pretty eyes! How nice that you pet sit!
ReplyDeleteI don't recall what breed the cat is, but it does have the most interesting color and eyes!
DeleteThe cat looks like an Assiniboia.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter adopted dogs from foreign countries, they seem to have issues at first but eventually bond quite well.
The black dog has such a goofy loveable face!
I think I asked what the cat was before and they told me. However, this time around the cat is much friendlier than it was in February. I actually sit with it and pet it. He even rubbed my leg. No purr yet, but hey, much better than all the hissing he did last time.
DeleteYou are a good neighbor. The cat does have huge eyes! Lots of walks is right up for alley.
ReplyDeleteThey are older dogs, but they sure seem to enjoy the extra attention as does the cat this time around!
DeleteA good neighbor indeed! Lori
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of fun to help out. I am glad people get good care for them and don't put them in crates somewhere.
