Hey Cats,

Been awhile–seems I start every post like that.  Here is a look at winter moving into spring here at the Hotel.

Bailee trying to figure out just what happened to all of that grass that was here this morning.

Ditto that for Itty.

And then by the next day it was all gone.

Leaving some seriously good water action if that is your thing.  And with these three this turns out to be the case.

And two days later we are back in action with Chloe leading the way.

Chloe and Heli etal checking out the spring smells a.k.a. rotten yucky business.

Heli comes with Gilligan.  

Holly and Chelsea in pursuit of some undetermined thing.

Chelsea was a little blurry in that last one so here she is not so.

Nester sporting a serious look.

After all, he is the resident fire chief and that is serious business.

On a not so serious side, we have Freddie and Whiskey.

They're about anything but seriousness.

Ivy asking, "Do my ears make me look fat?"

Chloe trying to figure out how that poo-picker is standing up all on its own.

Jil  and Lexa feeling the need for speed.

This here's Mack.

Takka strolling in for the kill.

This is Rebel and Riley.

Milo doesn't stroll anywhere.

Ditto that for Babe here.

On a side note, the birds are starting to fly through.  On a practical note, bird-watching with 20 dogs is relatively fruitless, some might say dumb.

Truman dropped in for a visit.

This here's Skuza7 working on better ways to estimate a puddle's depth.

Nothing to it really.

This is Mocha practicing his balance beam act.  Yes he is aware that he is but six inches off the ground and the task will exponentially rise in difficulty as the beam gets raised.

Loki makes a rare appearance for the camera.  Normally he is a bit busy for that kind of nonsense.

Koda making time.

Coba and Dakota playing the age old, "who can bark the loudest" game.  This particular pastime is infinite in its ability to entertain.  

Holly and Lucy.  Try not to mention Holly's ears.

Diesel and Lucy think they are carrying a stick around.  They don't know that they have been secretly selected as the team to pull the Ruth's Pet Hotel float at the Canada Day Parade this year.  Shhhh.

Diesel, Lucy, and Whiskey rallying for position in our March 5K run with Holly, Riley and Nester closing in.  You can't really see Holly but her ears look like extensions to Lucy's in the front there.

This is Brooks.  

This is Hope with a big stick.  

As if you need to be told, this too is Hope with a big stick with Skuza7 moving in to see if she might make that her big stick.

Happy Easter,

Gary the Cat

Hey Cats,

Thanks for tuning in.  Here a few from the last week or so.

This here's Raffi.

This is Bella, Lola, Mika, Takaya, Bella, and Freddy making tracks.

It`s a common practice here at the Hotel.

Brisco kid was a friend of mine.

Raffi and Bella in a little stick ownership conference.

This is Drillo.  Though his bark sounds like a hammer drill, really he was named after a Norwegian football coach.  That`s the round football by way of clarification.

Loki is hard to catch not moving.

Ditto that for Mika.

This is Bear, no doubt enroute to try and disassemble his buddy Bella.

Here`s a picture of the two of them.  Noteworthy because it is one of the few where Bear does not have Bella`s leg in his mouth.

This is Callie, who is pretty darn happy–just for the heck of it.

This is Trooper with Bear getting ready to try and haul off Bella`s leg.

Here`s the three of them, trying to act straight.

Here`s one of about nine failed attempts to prove that Skuza7 has eyes.

Here is Takaya displaying some oddly flattened teeth.  Why you ask?

Turns out Takaya has a little hobby.

This is Kalu.  He hates cats.  He came right up onto the counter once and then tore down the shower curtain in a murderous effort before Jeff had a rather productive discussion with him on the subject of cat-o-cide.  Other than that he`s pretty cool.

This is Lucy.

She comes with Brewster.

Frankie dropped in for the day.  He is named after Frankenstein because when he was young his first owner figured a flea collar was good for life and then his skin grew over it and then he started to choke and stuff and then they had to cut it all out so he looked like Frankenstein for part of his recovery period.  You ever read the Darwin Awards?

Skuza7 and Koda

Chloe, Karma, and Callie

If you'll notice, Skuza7 seems to be without eyes.

This is Toby.  I don't recommend going for that stick.

This is Tina.

This is Bean who comes with Chili who I don't have a picture of so you will just have to imagine it.

Mya is what you would say the opposite of low energy.

And is pretty easily pleased.

I'll leave you with Kia–just because.

I was going to leave you with Kia but that would have left out Bella which wouldn't be very nice would it?

And, not to mention Chloe.  

Until next time cats,

G
