Our last-year's chrismas picture:
OK - you're right... the cat wasn't really there :~D
This year, we have to add the new dog Homer, and the two new kitties to the pose... hmmm...

Ours was so smart, she'd tell us when the cat was up to no good. She went with me everywhere in the car and slept next to the baby to guard her. Always polite and respectful. A real sweety. Had a wonderful sense of humor and would actually laugh. Somehow, she picked up tornado safety because everytime there was bad weather, she'd jump in the bathtub. She was a stray who someone had dumped along the highway. We think she was further mistreated because she would slink away at the sight of a gun.
We told them, in no uncertain terms (without hitting them), they were not to eat chickens. But we have to constantly be with them outside, otherwise they will take off after them. It's a game to them! They were professionally trained too.
They are great around our kids. And they have wonderful personalities. One even "sings" along with music she likes.
Dogs rule!
Pippin & Tweek. I love it! :o)
I'm not sure any of my dogs would be so charitable as to rescue kitties. My collie was jealous of my first cat and my first lab was aloof to all the little buggers. The current older dog, a boxer mix, would probably be more tolerant of the current cat without the young lab turning it into a grand chase. Far as the lab's concerned, a cat makes for a great toy. Once in a while Pearl shows a sense of humor about it if she's on a high, safe perch, but mostly she flees in terror of the 2 beasties. I won't even consider trying to get the 3 of them in a Christmas picture pose!
Dogs are naturally going to kill chickens, unless you find one without ~any~ residual prey drive, or raise it so specifically with chickens that they are imprinted very young...
I just choose not to own chickens.
Arm the chickens. You can't arm the cats because they might turn the weapons on you.
They chase the horses too, but sometimes the horses chase them. :~) Of course, huskies are pack dogs, so they get braver when they're let out together. So maybe we should try letting them out one at a time...

My dogs aren't allowed where the horses are either... they just shouldn't mingle, it's not safe for either of them.
Now after I posted the pic above, you probably won't believe me ;~D
LOL
Pippen and Tweek eh? Those are adorable names. What happened to "Kitties 8 and 9"? ;-)
My husband seems to think cats should have names :~D
You wait... when they grow up, they'll end up only coming to "here kitty kitty" and then only half the time :~D
Doggie ping! Doggie ping! Please add me to the Doggie ping list!
Will doo :~D
"Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death..."
Tweek is really pretty. She's studying to be a Viking Kitty, it looks like!
Awwwwwwww, lookit those pretty blue eyes! And that innocent face! Accourse she's not so innocent now that she and her sister are getting used to you, is she? ROFL
Been a while since I had a kitten. Last time, I was only kitty-sitting for a friend. I'd forgotten what little hellions they could be.
Hey, I LIKE that Christmas picture! So what if you had to apply a little elfen magic? :-D
Doggie ping.
