"I'm Brin, the cool one." |
Bob and Brin (aka "The Strabies") have definitely settled into the ebb and flow of life at Casa de PPCT, especially as it relates to their getting fed and being on the receiving-end of some scritches from the
That's when the second half of my pet-parent day begins. Bob, especially, expects a little more from us than just a drop-and-dash dry food delivery --- he needs some quality time to go along with it. Brinnie, while being far more laid-back and much less apt to ever want to become a housecat, still appreciates a few sweet nothings being whispered in his ear and a gentle rub around his hindquarters before heading out for his late-night adventures.
"I'm Bob. I like food." |
In the meantime, I'm like that double-married dude, with one family in the daylight and another in the moonlight, trying to make sure everyone is getting just enough of what they need that they need not make a big deal out of sharing. Some days it feels every bit as oddly-functionally-dysfunctional as the newspaper accounts I've read, but thus far we're managing to make it work.
Anyone else out there leading a "double" life?

Wow, that *is* a double life. But it sounds like it at least sort of works!
I think you have to add in a new husband and dog to do the double life thing right. But I can see you're working on it.
I think you manage very well! As long as you don't forget who's who!! Iknow that't not likely lol
The only problem I have is that Austin the Tux comes in and Tigger the Tabby stays out, but sometimes we all get a bit confused and when the door opens and a cat comes in, I don't bother to check that it's the right one!
It all can get a bit exhausting, but it seems like you have it under control and part of your routine now. I remember when Zoey had her kittens - I felt like I was leading a double, triple, and quadruple life trying to keep up with it all!!
Haha Vicky,
That's funny!! I have to say if I lived there I'd probably want to chase, I mean play, with the Cats too just like Darby :)
I wonder if the strays also have a double life and have another family somewhere else too? Mum had a Persian Cat one time who had 3 families - all of whom fed him! It was only discovered when one of the families showed a photo of this 'stray' Cat that hangs out in front of their fire place INSIDE the house! :) Yep, it was her Cat Oscar! Tee Hee
I'm just glad you've got lots of love to share around your whole family - you're pawsome! :)
Wags to all,
Your pal Snoopy
Btw - not sure if I missed it before, but I just found your email sign-up - now I won't miss your posts - I hadn't seen Fridays one until just now - doh! :)
Well, I know this is a crazy place to do this, but Happy New Year to you and yours Vicky! It has been a pleasure getting to know you and I wish you much warmth and happiness for 2012!
It may really be a hard job, living double life and trying to get track with the kittens LOL!
