Just Pass Me By

Honey Otis is playing on your laptop keyboard. Otis had his little brown and black mouse thingy with cat nip in it. He cleans it and loves on it most days, unless he feeling a bit frisky. He’s had this rat since I got him because I don’t recall ever replacing it and it’s still in nice shape. Better then those furry balls that I get him sometimes that only last a couple of months. I have few cat toys which have lasted me more then 2 years. This is one of them but Otis is a Lover not a eater of small little critters, now Shadow on the other hand will eat a rat with no second thoughts she a little hunter. Otis will hunt birds though and maybe squirrels.
Now I don’t know why but the animals when they know they aren’t supposed to be doing something they run from me. Not sure why but they seem to know better and want to hide. I am not sure where Otis is hiding out all I have to do with him is call his name. He looks at me and then runs away.
I wonder how Shadow will respond to the squirrels this year. It aught to be funny to watch, maybe I better look into Discount Blinds might need them with the dog. The blinds here are to be had I have had nothing but problems with getting them open and closed because the stupid hanging pole keeps coming off it’s a pain in the backside. The blinds I had in my last apartment were great because it had the strings to move the blinds.
Shadow and I are working on training. I am trying to teach her to walk in the hallways and to seat down when I place the lash on her, or give her food or treats. She seems to be getting it, now hopefully she will learn the potty thing of not going inside and outside is for pottying and makes us happy. She trying to lay on my hands while I type. I hope I can train her not to be so attached to me to the point of crying because I am not around her or hand her off to hubby for walking she gets so upset. Poor Otis, must be wondering if he lost me to the doggy.
