Our dog is chasing lizards in the back yard. Paladin Apr 2020 #12
I'm glad he is not catching the lizards. I hate when pets catch things. applegrove Apr 2020 #18
I think the lizards enjoy the chase as much as the dog. Paladin Apr 2020 #20

Likes to stand in back of me and wave her tail in back of my head so it looks like I have a tail during zoom meetings.

My Ziggy is actually aware that something is going on! I won't go into it (long story) but he's not terribly smart so I'm surprised when he reacts to the world around him. He's asleep right now on the hard floor right outside my door. And there's a door open to another room with people who want him. Nope. He's happy to stay outside my door - just in case. Just in case of what, I'm not sure. But he knows! I love cats!

Sometimes I think he is on another plane, sometimes it seems he is 30 minutes behind the rest of us, but at any time he can clear a table or desk with his bod by just walking. I love him though.

That in fact would be quite novel indeed.

Although my pet is not. Sadly.

Same goes for the neighborhood squirrels---our dog has never caught one of them, either.....

Now, except for groceries once a week, i am home. So they wait for me at the door when i do go out. The little one especially is bonding more with me. But it could be that i ran out of wet cat food for a few days and so they are on my case.
