Riding in Cars with Dogs

Fu Fu's new favorite thing is riding in the car to pick up the kids from school. He gets so excited when we pull into the school parking lot. I usually roll down the window so he can look out and watch for them. The other day when it was pouring down rain I had to keep the windows up, for obvious reasons. He was so upset! He kept scratching the window like he does on the backdoor when he wants to go out. It was really comical to watch. He even had parents in other cars laughing at him. What a nut!

Turning Point

Today marked a new phase in the saga of The Puppy and The Big Fat Cat. Chester for the first time ever was playing with Fu Fu! I am so happy that Chester is finally warming up to him. Hopefully in time they will become good friends. For now we are making baby steps. :)

The Puppy and the Big Fat Cat

Poor little Fu Fu wants desperately to be friends with Chester. Chester, on the other hand, finds Fu Fu to be a pest and really has no use for him at all. Chester will allow him within about a foot of himself, but no closer. It's quite comical to watch little Fu Fu approach Chester, very timidly, then plop down a foot away and lay his head between his paws and look up with his big, brown puppy eyes as if to say "Why don't you love me?" only to have Chester turn away with as much snobbish attitude as a high school "mean girl". Cats...you gotta love um!
