~~~~~

blues

feelings of melancholy,
sadness, or depression.

For six weeks in the autumn of 2016…

…we watched and counted the days as Taji moped her way

around her temporary enlosure.

 

 

The number of times I saw her stretch up the fence

had me wondering if she would tear open her

belly stitches and the clock would need to be reset.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Intruder

~~~~~~~

~~~~~

someone who enters a place without permission

in order to commit a crime

~~~~~

Dear old Maggie must have been aware of…

…this intruder prior to giving chase.

 

Even so, today the intruder would not have

been able to exit so easily…

FOWChallenge-Duress

~~~~~

duress

the act of using force, coercion, threats, or psychological pressure,
among other things, to get someone to act against their wishes.
If a person is acting under duress, they are not acting of their
own free will and so may be treated accordingly
in court proceedings.
 
 
 
 
~~~~~
 

I’m still not sure why dear old Maggie chased this intruder

however, I do think that the intruder was under duress

until it made it though the fence.

Smudge was a rescue cat and was and still is very timid.

During his first summer with us we decided to

create an area where he could survey is new

surroundings from behind some

flimsy old netting. 

He could and did come out on occassion

to meet the dogs. 

At the end of summer we packed up his hide,

however, he has only made it over to the

house on one ocassion far as we know.

~~~~~

to occupy oneself in (a sport or diversion);
amuse oneself in (a game)

~~~~~

Candi’s favourite game is catch.

Occassionally she has hurt herself during

her mad obsession to catch the rope.


And when she has had enough she will take the

rope to a paddle pool we bought for the dogs to

cool off in.  On a hot day when she is showing no

sign of ‘enough’, the rope will land in close

proximity to the pool until she gets the hint.  😉

~~~~~~~

~~~~~

persistent

continuing to do something or to try to do something
even though it is difficult or other people
want you to stop.
~~~~~

Candi commenced this habit when they were pups in 2016.

Eight years later she still persists in biting Taji’s ear.

We think Taji has the patience of Job.

RagTagChallenge-Kindness

~~~~~~~

~~~~~

kindness

the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
~~~~~

From this angle it is difficut to work out

which animal is sowing kindness

and which tolerance.

 

Again which is being kind and which one

is tolerating its face being licked
