Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 15th day of January, 2019.
Another pretty nice today temperature wise but not as beautiful as yesterday.
Alvin and I soaked in every minute of our walk before supper last night.
Taking into account that not quite at the half way point, Mr. Alvin whined to go home.
I told him firmly “that we needed to walk” and eventually he carried on.
Although he did try about three times to get me to turn around.
I stood my ground.
Most times, I cave and let him lead.
Last night it was just so perfect for walking that we needed to go.
We never know what the next evening will bring.
If it is really COLD, SNOWING or ICY …. we stay home.
A bit of snow is okay but Alvin is just getting over an ear infection and do not want him to get his ears wet.
SNOW inside and not dried will give him an yeast infection.
Anyway we completed our walk and I was happy.
After supper, Humphrey the Cat came to spend the evening with us.
His Mom was going to dance classes.
She wants him to get used to being somewhere else other than home.
Also to get more used to Alvin.
Being outside together or with both of us here for a few minutes is one thing but with Humphrey’s Mom not here and just us, well that could be something totally different.
So Humphrey arrived about 6:30 p.m.
I made sure that I had had supper and tidied up so that I could keep an eye on the boys.
Different than two dogs.
I do not wish Humphrey to take a swipe at Alvin with his sharp claws.
Even has never given any indication but at the end of the day they are animals and just one sniff out of place could cause harm.
So Humphrey checked out upstairs.
He walked around the main floor.
Looked out the window.
Laid on the mat by the front door.
Stretched on Alvin’s bed (floor).
He liked going upstairs and I found that he was clawing at the carpet so eventually I blocked off the upstairs.
Cannot have the carpet pulled apart.
I did find one strand of carpet, oh well.
He laid on the big brown chair.
I laid a blanket down so he could snuggle.
He wanted up on the sofa beside me and eventually did so.
I had Mr. Alvin on one side and him on the other.
Alvin pretty much was anxious for a good part of the evening.
When Alvin went outside – Humphrey wanted to go outside.
When the boys were surrounding me on the sofa, I had been on the tablet.
Humphrey is used to his Momma’s iPad so he was watching things.
Eventually I set it in front of him and just put the front screen saver on …. he placed his paws on the screen.
He so intently watched what was going on.
It was so cute.
At one point I managed to snap some photos on the tablet’s camera.
Will have to add them to the computer at some point.
Humphrey is a cute boy.
Near the end of the evening Humphrey jumped up on Mr. Alvin’s most favourite chair and I thought that Alvin was going to have coronary.
He did not run over but he was very anxious.
Poor boy.
I did catch a photo of Humphrey in the brown chair and Alvin in his chair directly across from one another.
Alvin was looking out the window.
It was a different kind of evening for us but interesting.
Alvin did growl once or twice.
Well it is almost time to go.
I was up late and tried to squeeze as many minutes on the sofa as I could.
I hope that you all have a wonderful day.
Special Hello to: all my friends who have cats and dogs.
Always, Carol & Alvin
