Slurp ... etc.

Click on this for an even closer up look - go on - I dare you!



He also likes washing faces ... and the cat's backside ... and my knees while I am sitting on the dunny with my pants around my ankles!

I actually cropped that from a photo DD took the other day ... she came in while I was fiddling around sorting some stuff out in the bedroom, and ended up lying on the floor with the camera, taking photos of the dog from below ... LOL


(btw, I re-sized this one quite a bit smaller, so if you want a really good close up of that tounge, then click on the first photo - I left that full size - just cut the edges off)


I logged in to post this photo, and a few others and just noticed that they follow on nicely from the top photo on the previous post on this blog (which was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long ago, but should be right under this one ... lol)

I seem to have ended up with quite a few photos of Diesel and Spook (the dog and the cat), with their tounges hanging out/sticking out/licking stuff/licking each other/etc ... LOL

... and there is also a tounge hanging out in this picture that I posted on here a while back.

If the truth be known, there is probably a flickr group for "animals with tounges hanging out" or somesuch ... but I am not going looking for that right now ... LOL

I also ended up with a few more photos that I originally intended - when I went looking for the couple of tounge/etc ones I was planning to post, I found a whole heap more that fitted in here as well - LOL

Here we have the dopey look:



and I thing this one might be "I am bored, but I am jealous of you taking photos of the cat so I am going to sit here and be in them too ... "



"I can smell something interesting in the car - it must be something for me?"



mmm, yum - a ruff full of drool!



and a pillow full of drool!



- I am glad it wasn't MY pillow he was washing!


"my turn"



(yes ... got some photos of the cat's tounge too)

"I wonder if the dog needs a wash?"



Actually I think she might have been biting his tail - she does that sometimes ... which is probably why he looks a bit nervous here ...

"what the ...?"


"do you HAVE to?"



yes - another tounge ...



The dog had just had a bath, so I think the cat was trying to lick him dry - lol

he always looks so worried when she does that ...



maybe this is why? - he is worried about those claws
("want a comb sir?")


they actually do get on ok together ... even sleep on the bed together!


although this look on his face says he would probably rather sleep on the bed without her there as well - lol
(that or maybe it means he would rather I didn't keep taking photos?)


yes you can see that HE is quite comfy there ...

and she is quite comfy here IN my fabric and stuff!



she also likes to lie on my crocheting/etc ... both on my lap, and on the lounge if I put it down and get up and do something ...




and not to be left out - he likes to steal someone's seat when they get up too!

although he usually prefers not to lie on stuff - in fact he often comes and lies on the lounge between DH and I - but if there is something on there in his way he looks at us funny until one of us moves whatever it is (usually remote controls/books/crocheting/etc) out of his way, and then climbs up there and lies down.
even if he isn't on the lounge with us (he usually doesn't stay there long - gets too hot I think) - he still likes to be in the middle of whatever is going on.

... "If I lie here and look cute they might eventualy give me some people food ... "



"can I eat it yet?"


he can be quite gentle ... especially when he knows we think it is cute and will probably feed him more if he does what he is supposed to ...



for some odd reason he really loves these particualr biscuits ...
(they are rather "more ish" LOL)

... he also likes shredding the box later on!



in fact he likes shredding all sorts of things ...

... and he was not being very gentle with this one:


doggy heaven! - a walk in the rain, and getting to "kill" the remains of a dead sheep that he had just found and rolled in!
(yes - he had a bath when we got home!)

All that work makes one hungry ... but ... "do I have to share my water with the cat?!"

(yes - another photo with a tounge in it!)

"if she insists on being there, then I will move my bowl over here"


"what? you expected me to put it back when Ihad finished? ... ha ha ha ... "

yes - he actually DID drag his bowl over there while he was eating ... he sticks his nose in and starts eating and slides the bowl around the floor ... often he moves it closer to wherever we are at the time! ... the other thing he does, especially if he gets hungry after we have gone to bed, is to go to his bowl and get a mouth full of crunchies (dry dog food) and then he comes wandering down to the bedroom or wherever we are still chewing them ... but finishes before he gets all the way here and goes back for more ... and comes back down still chewing that lot ...

sometimes it is like having our own circus in the house ... or in the back yard ...

I think they try to be friends ... lol


I think this post has got rather long too ... also took me rather a long time to find and re-size/crop/whatever all those photos ... I ran out of evening ages ago and if I don't go to bed soon I will also run out of night! LOL

(the time on this post is when I started doing it ... I did fiddle with a couple of other things at the same time ... but I spent way too long in here - it is now almost 4 1/2 hours later! ... oops)
