Corner View: Pets

We have had a sister and brother set of cats

for ten years now.

A friend rescued the pair

with me in mind.

It was a perfect match!

They have moved with me from Seneca Lake to Cincinnati

and to two different homes in Barnesville.

Hopefully this farm house is their last move

and ours too!

Scruffy loves to sit in window sills

or curl up in just about anything.

George isn't a 'curler' - he prefers stretching out when he rests.

For the past year his favorite reclining position on the couch is

upside-down!

We recently added a dog to our family.

We adopted her from a Siberian Husky rescue.

The woman has a waiting list from animal shelters

but can only handle six at a time.

I saw Ginger online at Howl at the Moon Siberian Husky Rescue.

The rescue home was about an hour from us.

One evening Mike and I drove there after making an appointment

to meet Ginger.

We bonded immediately.

She came right to me and licked my face.

The lady was surprised because Ginger had never done that before.

Ginger is a one-year-old red and white Siberian Husky.

She has the brown eyes of the breed, not the strange blue ones.

She had had everything done and was micro chipped, crate-trained,

and housebroken.

We took her home that night 

and she fit right in.

We love her.

And I especially am happy now that I have 'my dog'.

She lies on a blanket on our couch,

but prefers Mike's old jacket.

In the above picture we are both happy:

the couch is covered and she has her comfort coat.

With a bought bone the first night here.

In our front yard last night

after the "big winter storm" (not so big that first day).

The cats have had a time adjusting.

They were not thrilled,

but have resigned themselves to Ginger being a permanent part

of our household.

I think they hoped she'd go 'home' after a few days,

like my son's dog does after we have dog sat.

But she didn't!

They have stopped hissing at her and will now rub noses.

But neither one will curl up next to her yet.

I think that will eventually occur.
