Their main interaction is Goss popping Pen on the head and starting a scuffle; the closest they come to cuddling is when there is a space heater to share, or when they're both allowed on my bed of a Saturday morning. But it's as you say: family.<br /><br />I'm fortunate, when it comes to litter snacks, that Penelope absolutely WILL.NOT. take the stairs down to the basement. So that's where the box is. We just always need to make sure the basement door is ajar so Goss can get down there, or there's heck to pay for that one poor potted tree ...DLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768285199864217885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-45762444239919560052017-01-24T08:44:01.347-05:002017-01-24T08:44:01.347-05:00Kate's is my favorite because it's so simp...Kate's is my favorite because it's so simple and if a dog ever got that close to Ramona that is what would happen.

Mikey rocks (as I called them) were my dog's favorite before Mikey passed away--I had to put up a dog gate just to keep Riley from getting into the litter box. <br /><br />Loved the blog post and all the pictures. It's adorable that they get along. Riley and Mikey tolerated each other--Riley wanted to play, but Mikey was always more content to glare at him. In the long run, I think they knew we were all family and were comforted by each other's company.<br /><br />These caption contests are always such fun. I laughed at so many, but since I recently read the Harry Potter series for the first time, my favorite was "Mischief managed."<br /><br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332570278984058081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-2725930353353741782017-01-24T07:50:58.077-05:002017-01-24T07:50:58.077-05:00Donna's and Kate's entries tickled me Razz...Donna's and Kate's entries tickled me Razzle Dazzle pink.

There have been a couple of flash contests that only had 5 finalists. You can check the spreadsheet for yourself in the <a href="http://www.colindsmith.com/TreasureChest" rel="nofollow">Treasure Chest</a>.<br /><br />And in case you were wondering, I'm <i>not</i> including these caption contests in the spreadsheet. At the moment, the spreadsheet only documents contests that don't depend upon either a) email entries, or b) a photograph. Sorry about that. This means, among others, the book title poetry contest from a few years back isn't included. That was a fun challenge, but a lot of work for Janet. As I recall, we emailed our picture entries to her, and she would post them. I think she ended up posting three blog articles to accommodate all the entries. Fun times! :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-82397563739804748162017-01-23T21:39:01.831-05:002017-01-23T21:39:01.831-05:00Kate B's "sleeping cats lie" #1
