Hi Peanut
dawgs are really nervous people. They are very tense because their tail wags all the time and you know what that means. Plus they are loud! They cannot even sneak as you always hear their claws on the floor.

Thus they can easily be avoided.

They also don't know what a communication distance is. But the good thing: if you swat them they go away.

Dear Peanut,

Q.

Why don't these guys take the hint the first time, are they that dense

A.Yes.....

Love and kisses....

Edwina

Debbie, I'm so happy to hear that Peanut is in wonderful shape for her age. I hope she lives a long happy and healthy life.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks so much everybody. She is back to her old self and acting as sweet as ever, rolling around in her box and acting cute.

I know I told you to hiss, hiss, hiss at your brother, and that works, but I forgot the most important things.........

1. Get in your mom's lap and stay there!

2. When "he" walks near to you, start a very low pitched growl, and do it over and over. You'll probably scare your mom, but she'll be ok. If you do it loud enough for that boy to hear, he'll probably turn around and back up some. That's what my brother did this morning!!!

Good luck!

Love,
Mimi

Thanks for the hint, Mimi. I'll have to try that. Now when I'm in my mom's lap and "he" comes by, I jump down and go in my box. He knows that's my box and doesn't bother me when I'm in there. He also knows what the low grrrrr's mean, but sometimes he chooses to ignore that meaning. He then gets a full blown hiss and a good swat in the face if he's close enough!

Thanks for the "good luck." I'm think I'm going to need it since it appears he's here to stay - drat!

Love,
Peanut

PS - Ms Edwina. I agree, for some reason they are that dense sometimes, I just don't understand why, but then again I don't need to understand him, he needs to understand me!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Darlings....

The lap (any lap for that matter ) is mine...ALL mine! Especially when I can look down at HIM.....the one place he dares not go.

I've seen him think about it from time to time.

He has developed an annoying habit though. You know how...sometimes when it is just the two of you...you need to whack him just because? Well...he cries now when I do it. Mummy yells at me..."Stop hitting him, Edwina!" It's not fair! How does she know that's what I'm doing??? Maybe he just had a bad dream or something!!!!

Ah-ha! Thank you Ms Edwina, I think I figured out what I'm doing wrong! I only whack him when he's asking for it, I hadn't thought to whack him when he's not bothering me (being a good boy is what meowmy calls it ). I will have to try that.

Gratefully,
Peanut

PS - meowmie says "Poor Eddie" and shakes her head smiling. Why is he so poor? I thought not-so-blondie and curly had plenty of money?

When SmokeMutt was a "recent arrival";
Boots often gave him a 'just because' *WHACK*!

Boots would by;
reach out and *WHACK* his ear or nose;
then continue on without missing a step!
