From Pup to "Old Man" (14 years old)

What a cute little pup! He was always good about letting me keep bows on his collar!



 

 

14 years later, he is still my "little pup" in his eyes! His ears are now wide, his legs are now wobbly, his bones and joints need rest, but he is always so happy to see people when they come over to visit me! His sight is not so good at night and if he doesn't sense I am near, he will whine for me (which Jerry has learned to mimic!) What a good doggy he is!

 

 

Hi! I'm Jerry! I like to talk a lot! Some of my vocabulary is:

GOD bless mom. (When I sneeze.)

God bless gramma. (When she would sneeze. He knew the difference even when we weren't in the room.)

Mom's gotta go to work. You be good!

Stop that! MOM!!! (When he needs help!)

Who who who (is how his laugh sounds!)

Where's Jerry? Peek-a-boo!

I wanna go see gramma. (So I take him to see her picture now that she has passed on into GOD's presence.)

What you doin'?

 

He knows a whole bunch more! His vocabulary just keeps going on. When he is learning something new, it sounds like a garble "under his breath." Then within a few days, out comes the new sentence!

 

He is 18 years old. I've had him since he was about 6 weeks old. I had to hand feed him a liquid mixture for about 8 months which the vet gave to me. His favorite fruit is bananas. His favorite vegetable is the stalks left when you cut the leaves off of the collard greens. His main food is the Harrison's brand food which incorporates what they would get in the wild. It comes in dry pellets.

He likes to ride on my shoulder when I walk around the house.  Since he's the oldest of all of my pets, they know he's head of the "pack." The dogs and cats get along with him well. The new kittens run from him when he hollers at them to, "Go, go, go!!!" The dogs quietly turn around and walk away, ha! 



Yes, I'm still here. My old computer was giving me trouble and I got a new one today! I'm having to learn its new format. So, I will be posting soon!

A Handful of Kittens!

No Modesty!

After another day of full, non-stop play, Cody finally decides to take a rest; however not for long, ha!

Peaceful Bliss!

All sleeping peacefully!

This is what happens when Katy is let out! Sam is sleeping through it all, lol!

She is gentle to not use her claws!

Cody after a long rip romp with Katy around the den!

Katy likes to run along the window sill. Cody will once in a while.

They both only rest for a few minutes and then it's back to chasing one another full blast around the room!



Xena sleeps through it all too!

The Rainy Season Has Set In.

The last few days has brought us much needed rain. It started out being in the morning. A day later it moved to the afternoon, finally now raining into the night. Hopefully this will cut down on the fires that have been bad in some areas.

It has really cooled off our days. However, it doesn't take long for the heat to come back. Thank the LORD for air conditioning!
