Carter and Annabelle

For such a big dog, Carter is usually pretty gentle with Annabelle.

Zuzu: AH don LIKE him!

Yes, Zuzu, I know -- you hide from him. But you know, if you just let him sniff you every once in a while, he wouldn't be so obsessed with you!

Zuzu: AH WON'T!

Okay, Zuzu.
ANYway, Annabelle not only puts up with Carter, but purposely sometimes goes out of her way to get his attention. Below a video of the two of them. You'll see not only does she appear to enjoy his grooming, but watch how she actually SMACKS him when he starts sniffing his toy and ignoring her:

Not Dead

Weeeeeeeeeeeee are not dead!
Weeeeeeeeeeeee are still here!
Mom is busy an' we HATES that!
Sheeeeeeeeeeee says she will blogz again, soon!
Weeeeeeeeeeee want u to notz forgetz about us!

Finally ... PRALINE!

So remember a looooong time ago I said I wanted to draw Praline, here?

This morning, I did some sketches of our famous Praline, mostly playing around with color -- she's such a fun kitty to draw!
I call this one below "Little Praline in a Big Room." (Unfortunately my scanner wouldn't transfer the sketch very well, so I had to resort to photos and a bit of cropping.)

Anyway, you get the idea:

Which was inspired by this post and this picture:

Grooming Time!

Anna and Zu LOVE to be groomed.
Whenever I want either of them, all I have to do is tap on the floor with one of the metal combs I use and they both come running. (I usually groom them in the bathroom, as the water, cotton balls and all the other stuff I need is in there.)

Here's some pictures from last weekend's session.
Zuzu came first and within 30 seconds, Anna ran in and tried to take over.
Notice how close she is sitting to Zuzu, trying to get me to groom her:

Three New Videos!

First, Zuzu's Tiny Meow -- again!


Second, quickie video of Anna with pencil -- so delicate!


Finally, Zuzu's "attack" on her sister. This was odd -- usually it's Anna who occasionally gets aggressive with Zu!
