I don't know if Bentley rules the roost, but he holds his own against Ciara. When Caleb was still here and the 2 of them ganged up on Bentley he'd high tail it upstairs out of their way. Not that they ever did anything more than chase him - more like a game than wanting to hurt him. And if they seemed to be getting too much in his face, I would call them off.

Roisin wants to play with him since he is fairly close to her size and, of course, Bentley isn't having any of that. He's warned her off with a hiss and smack a couple of times, but her memory is pretty short term. She keeps trying. It's her first experience with a cat - I think she thinks he is some kind of dog.

Thank y'all.

now someone with photoshop needs to put the dogs in a carnival ride or at least the pony ride. Or maybe get out those wire crates and have the dogs in those crates with a ribbon?

(I'm good at things for other people to do.)

As for your "sleep interrupted" if you mean what I think you mean then many of us are in the same boat. wink ---- Well, some of it is me but a lot of this was dogs moving about - I'm sleeping downstairs and to save the planet their beds have plastic "mattress covers" underneath the fabric covering.

And watches -- yes, time is circular, here. ...

Found the watch. Like many things lately, it was in a good spot. I just needed to look more carefully.

Cell phone - carried for emergencies, often needs charging, gets naggy calls urging me to upgrade ---- friends know to use the, get this, land line number...

Off to see what I can get that dog to eat tonight...
