Animal Relationships


This is Abby just after a bath. She was a stray we found here on our lot when we were building the house. Abby is very street savy and will stand up to, or knows how to avoid any creature in the area. She now has a new buddy to play with, and his name is:

Sunny  - who is a young Yellow Lab that Amanda adopted several months ago from the shelter. Sunny is big and strong, but very gentle - he is also Amanda's new best friend.

The two dogs love to play together, and will do so for hours. They also like to chase cats up tree. Both dogs are obsessed with this sport - However 

This is "MOM" - we call her that because she had a litter in January, of which 3 for sure of the cats are still around. Then, she just had another litter about 6 weeks ago. We don't know where she had the last litter, nor how many survived. But, she did bring one of them to us because she was asking for help with the kitten. We found it a new home. Now, Mom is also a stray that we had during construction. The workers always reminded us to buy food for the cats, which we did. The workers left, but Mom & her 3-4 children did not. The cats that the dogs like to tree are Mom's kids, but Mom does not take any crap from either dog, and has let them know quite brutally. I keep telling the dogs not to mess with Mom, and I think that they are starting to understand.
