Louie around the house

Louie has been growing larger. He is full of energy. He likes to jump on my shoulder and ride upon it like a pirate’s parrot as I walk around. Today you get the idea with his selfie with me. Didn’t quite get it right. There is a photo of him in the vet’s window. HE has become interested in TV. He likes the birds, squirrels and rabbits. I watch a lot of game shows–he gets some education as well. Before I get to today’s photos, let me thank everyone for the kind words on the passing of Opie. She lived in this house 17 years and I still expect to see her in her normal spots. Out of the corner of my eye sometimes I do along with Nicholas close by…Louie does not look for her anymore. Maybe he sees her too . . .

Louie watching Jeopardy. Where did Ken Jennings go?

Answer to Jeopardy question is POETIC JUSTICE

Nicholas goes for a walk

Nicholas goes for a walk. Not exactly what it looks like. He got snatched while sleeping. I carried him around the house for a tour and he was OK with it, but putting him down, he was back to his old “do not get to close” routine. He put up no struggle and did not try to get down. My theory is he was given medicine orally and is afraid he is getting more. Or maybe his tail was treated with something painful. Guess we will never know. I caught him a second time but did not have a good hold of him and he jumped away.

Nicholas and Greg — How did I get up here?

Nicholas and feather wand

Nicholas and the feather wand. He really wears himself and me out playing. I can move it closer so it is in right in front of my feet. When I stop he slowly saunters away and sits to see if I am going to let him have another go at it. He doesn’t show anxiety and fear, but just seems cautious for some unknown reason.
