Hey Cats,

The ground hog saw its shadow.  Does that mean it is six more weeks of bad weather or good?  I can't remember.  In the meantime we are just enjoying the sun.

This here's Dex-city boy with a country heart.  He's been coming to the hotel since since he was just little.  I had to straighten him out back in the day with a quick left jab and then, pow, hammer down with the right.  He is now right up there with the Pugs in terms of cat friendly.

This is Buddy.  Looks like he's managing a bit of flatulence here.  He sometimes checks himself in when there is thunder or fireworks.  He knows Ruth's Pet Hotel is always a safe haven.

See, he doesn't always look so funny. 

This here is Dexter.  He can sound like a whole pack of wolves when he wants something.  

This is Kira.  She's lucky, she got adopted out of the sled dog business.  She is also looking for a home if you are in the market for a sweetheart who needs lot's of exercise.  She deserves the best.

Tula and Daisy with Kira in pursuit.

Keely with the perennial stick.  Beatrice is behind off to check something out.

Kucha has a glossy coat.

Would you buy a used car from this girl?

Keely is standing on one leg.

That little bit of yellow by Burton's right paw used to be a tennis ball.  He's not too good with cats either.

Later,

Gary

Hey Cats,

It's been a big week here at the Hotel.  Here's a few of the visitors.

Josh b'gosh

That's my dog Jil on the left and Burton on the right.  Jil suspects they are closely related.

Burton's ears are lighter than air.

This is Itty-bitty displaying very cautious behavior around a common black garbage bag.

Daisy stepping out with Keely in tow.

Chili

Different Daisy.

Zeus, Greek God, or wait a minute is that the Roman one or the Greek?

Angus.......Angus is very busy.  Very busy indeed.

Taboo is back.  Did I tell you I love the Pugs?  Ruth and Jeff love them all but,  me,  I prefer the Pugs-easily the most cat friendly dog out there.

Tundra.  

Until next time felines,

Gary

Hey Cats.  January is almost over.   I really do enjoy a nice self portrait. My own that is.

 Here's Ozzie on his way to showing his new little brother Albert the difference between "my stick" and "your stick."

Ozzie selects an example.

Ozzie let's Albert in on his concept of possession being 99% of the law.

Survival of the fittest Albert dude.

No point holding a grudge mind you.

This is Rossi.  Once, a long time ago, Rossi gave Jeff a 45 minute demonstration of how responding to the command, "COME" was really a concept very much open for interpretation.     

This is Ra.  Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra

This is Rossi again.  When he is not being a dog he teaches calculus at UVic.

Rossi comes with Cain.  And no I don't know why they didn't name Rossi Abel.

That's it for now.  Email me at info@ruthspethotel.ca if you stayed at the Hotel and haven't seen your picture.

Miao Baby,

Gary

Zydeco, not only a type of music that combines French dance melodies with Caribbean music,  blues etc., but also the name of this lovely lady shown here.

 Coda's just little.

So is Dexter shown here separated from Coda by Havoc.

This is Geordie.  Why do Weimaraners always look like they're having their prostates examined?

See.  That's Hugo on the left.  He's a Weimaraner too.  I guess you knew that.

This is Rebel.  

This is Toast.  This is the only picture out of about thirty that is vaguely in focus.  Toast acts as if the camera is a rocket launcher or something.

This is what Cedar looks like when any second from now she is going to try and kill a small bird at the feeder.  Maybe next time.

Try not to laugh.

Fanta involved in a small stick clean up project.

Albert. What can you really say?

This is Quincy.  He's as big as they come.

I'm not kidding.

See.

 A smaller footprint is made by Scampy.

Real kidder this one.

See.

Mookie on the other hand is having a bit of an off day and is displaying a bit of "puppy fatigue" to the unknowing Dexter.

This is Jayla on the move.

This is Jayla thinking to kill the photographer.

Neemo 

More Neemo.

Jayla showing the Murph meister how to do the swishy cat walk.
