Hello. How are you!
I thought I'd come over not only because it's Monday, but because I felt it might be good to share some old stories about some of our pets, and their funny little habits! Here we go!
* Luba, the family dog, had a 'crush' on rocks! Oh yes my friends - she LOVED chewing on them. She'd find one she thought was worthy.... sit down on the side of it, and then, tenderly, lovingly, and yearningly, begin to chew on it.... gushing and salavating all over it, she'd be in seventh heaven! The result of this mad crush she had meant all her teeth had square ends instead of being pointed, because she'd gradually worn them down!
* Binky - our orange and cream pet tabby cat. She loved onion. And tomato. And Lettuce. She was a Salad-lovin' puss that's for sure. I don't think it had any detrimental effect on her ..... but we all used to laugh about her special 'diet'...She liked well done steak too!!..
* Blackies - my very own, personal and very special cat. I was given her as a kitten, so we were fast friends. She had 6th sense. She would sense if I was upset.... So if I was unhappy about anything, she'd climb up on my bed when it was night time, and sit with me! She'd snuggle in, burrowing her head next to mine, and purr loudly! She did this, until she thought I'd gone to sleep. Then she'd hightail it outta there, zipping up onto the window ledge, and off she'd go, to play in her night time playground. She would wait, always, until I was asleep (I tested it once - pretending to be asleep)
* Luba's Ballet lessons. Sometimes when Luba came into the yard, after a furiously busy morning, I'd find her there, panting with her tongue lolling out of the side of her mouth, her sundrenched eyes half closed in the rapture of the heat of the day. When she was in this zone, I'd sit cross-legged next to her, and begin our ballet lessons! I'd gently take her paw, and point her leg here and there, telling her she was doing great, while her eyes would roll in her head, she'd be 'smiling'! I did it with her back legs too! Sometimes I would get her tail into the act. She wasn't too happy about that one, so I usually left the tail out of it!!
* The backyard Fence - or The Pie, from National Velvet. The fence was to all intents and purposes, a horse for me to ride in the grand national! Yes, our Fence was The Pie, and I had a rein attached somehow and off we'd gallop down the stretch.... we were such great winners, the Pie and me.....
So tell me.. did you have any pets that did strange things, or ate unusual foods?! Just leave a note below, and share ~ thanks for the fun.....
