Shula, just bathed

Shula lying in the shade.

Shula really misses laying in the shade of the palm tree which has been cut down as it succumbed to the dreaded Red Beetle.

Sleeping or hiding?

Pippa finds the funniest places to have a nap.

I did wonder if my pots would flower this year but needn't have worried.

Pippa still hunting

A very young Pippa

Pippa came in around 3am this morning yelling which meant she had caught something. I got up praying it was not a mouse as she does not kill anything but when she lets them go in the house, mice tend to run. It was a Gecko, still alive and complete with tail. I put it outside, frightened but no real harm done. I thought at eleven she had given up with all that nonsense, it seems not.

Chia, Pippa's sister was sound asleep on the bed, sensible cat.

Tommy

Tommy likes this new casita as its makes it easier for him to get on to the window ledge, also as it comes to the corner of the house he can check both ways before getting down. He is such a coward.

Matty

I am looking after my friend Carmen's dog and cats this week. This is such a sweet little dog but does not want to play with Shula as he is getting a bit old now and finds her too boisterous, she in turn is jealous and resents any attention he is given. I find this a bit odd as Shula usually loves every dog she meets and does not usually mind how much fuss you make of them. I have come to the conclusion that it is because he will not play and ignores her. Walking them together is not such a pleasure as it should be because it is like walking two separate dogs. One thing I have learnt, is, if I ever take on another dog with Shula, which is unlikely, as Ken only wants one dog, but if I ever do it will be one she gets on with.

Pippa

Pippa likes laying in the sun on this table.
