25TH FEBRUARY 2012: FAMILY PETS
Well, I think it's fair to say that our cats rule the house. It's such a pleasure being 'owned' by them. I love this photo of them, because it's very rare to see all three of them together like this.
The black and white one is Barney. He's 15 years old, and is by far the most affectionate of the three. He is generally referred to as Boo, and is nothing but a pat slut. He's such a beautiful nature, and is very gentle and loving. He also has Charlie absolutely wrapped around his little paw. The grey one is Forrest. Forrest is a girl (who we originally thought was a boy). She was named so because she loves to run and run. She's also 15 and is just adorable. She too is very affectionate, but skittish and shy. When she was a kitten, she was snooping around the shopping bags and got stuck in one of them. Never recovered from it. Now, if you even rustle a bit of plastic, she shits herself and runs. She's old and drools (hilarious) but like Boo, is a beautifully naturd cat. The third one is the newest addition to the family: Milo. He's a pure bred seal point rag doll, that my friend Sandy gave me. She's a breeder, and Milo was a 'reject'. He was sick when he was little, and it interrupted his toilet training. Rag dolls are specifically bred for indoors only, but Milo kept having 'accidents' around the house, and was returned to Sandy by the people who purchased him. Sandy faced the choice of putting him down (because he had been de-sexed and she couldn't breed from him or show him), or finding an 'outdoor' home for him. What better place for him than Allenbee Fields. The thing about ragdolls though, is that they talk. A lot. He drives us mad, but when you talk back to him, he loves it. He follows you around the yard when you're gardneing or working, and chats away. Just a beautiful personality.
26TH FEBRUARY 2012: YOUR CALENDAR
Well, this is a snap of my calendar for February. Thought it fitting to publish the month that related to this photographic challenge. Pretty good month, really. Had the conference for CWA and the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle for CWA, osteo appointment, got my hair done, Charlie had golf, lunch with friends, visiting family, Jade is currently at a horse show, and Charlie and I went to the movies last night (saw Contraband - pretty good). Yep; pretty ordinary month for the Buttler family.
