They are so much their own creatures with their own lives.<br /><br />I once moved into a large apartment complex with my gregarious cat and before long, I would watch from my balcony as he was greeted by name by neighbors who were complete strangers to me. When I talked to one, she told me that Sebastian often dropped by and took a nap on her bed with her rabbit!<br /><br />Also, congratulations on getting rid of that wallpaper!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936606014783521486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-23870802963100527192010-05-08T15:30:23.846+02:002010-05-08T15:30:23.846+02:00Oh, that Bertie!

Meredit...LOL, Bill. M. is a lioness, in many ways.<br /><br />Meredith, we couldn't believe it either. M. is a woman who really doesn't like animals. She wants her place to be perfect, and crotte-less.<br /><br />Donna, the two animals are aware of each other. When the weather improves, and the attic work is finished, we will get them together. It has to happen this summer. Bertie can't live in the cold garage and the cold outdoors next winter. He has to move indoors, and Callie is going to have to deal with it. Both animals are so sweet and docile that it is bound to work out.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-55214637159929870212010-05-08T13:45:00.800+02:002010-05-08T13:45:00.800+02:00...and the lion lays down with the lambs(or someth......and the lion lays down with the lambs(or something like that).Bill in NHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-4218485465082366212010-05-08T13:41:11.209+02:002010-05-08T13:41:11.209+02:00I still can't believe she brought crottes for ...I still can't believe she brought crottes for inspection.deedeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278468497564430383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-74565081662960438172010-05-08T09:57:24.805+02:002010-05-08T09:57:24.805+02:00Good for Bertie !

Since he isn't allowed to come into your house and be with you and Walt, and he obviously craves human company, he is looking to the neighbors for some of that. I wish you and Walt could figure out a way that you all (that is you, Walt, Callie, and Bertie, could all be together, at least some parts of the day, in your house. Perhaps time will take care of that!<br /><br />I'm loving reading (and seeing) the wonderful progress in your attic space. It's going to be just beautiful! And love reading about the saga of Bertie, as it continues.<br /><br />Donna in SF<br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
