Cats and dogs are....animals! Oh yeah!? Instincts rule - water, food, sex - in that order...
BUT - there is so much else! Playfulness - moodiness - boredom - joy - affection and tenderness.... All of these aspects come to light when you spend enough time with your furry friends - they are so GREAT to be with :-) They have their little moments - like today - Priscila and I are watering out a piece of "Klippfisk" (Bacalhau - salt-dried cod) to have for dinner.... Overnight it was sitting in a bucket inside our shower cabinet, away from the animals....
This morning, we changed the water and Priscila left it on the kitchen bench.....ai ai! A little later, whilst I was outside with Phoebe, Nexus had managed to overturn the bucket, getting a drenching of "fishy water".....!!! RIGHT! Thats IT :-) Into the shower with him....(more on that later)... Priscila and I sit down to watch a TV show on her computer when I suddenly say, "Mmmm, what is that noise?" "What noise?!" AI AI AI AI - Nexus has "fished out" the pieces of fish from the bucket (God knows how, they are almost as big as himself)... He is sitting happily on the kitchen bench, nibbling on one of the pieces of fish...!!!! I had seen Phoebe trotting along happily between the kitchen and veranda, and I therefore went after her to see what had happened to the other piece! We found her licking her lips and we thought that the game was up....or rather, the fish was lost...! I opened up the roof of her house to find the piece of fish hidden away for later....!!!??? I guess she was not hungry enough....heheheh...
Oh well......kids are kids.... They now seem to have formed a perfect team - Nexus climbing onto the "higher ground" and Phoebe picking up the "manna from heaven" :-) Priscila and I WILL have our bacalhau dinner tonight...... (rinsed in buckets of water and coocked in the oven should be safe....hihihi) - Later!
