He looks like he would be nice to pet. Callie wanted Bertie gone, that almost sounds like siblings when the parents bring home the new baby...Glorious colors on your linden tree. Thanks for the heads up on puree de pois; I've also heard the word "brumeur" used for fog (I think).Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26933825200892756742018-11-18T17:29:56.132+01:002018-11-18T17:29:56.132+01:00What an amazing thing that zoom lens is!

Callie never gave signs of wanting to injure Bertie. She just wanted him to be gone — out of the house. It was normal behavior for a dog vis à vis a cat. Poor Bertie had lived the first four years of his life with a dog that was born at about the same time as he was, and I think he was mystified by the whole situation. But he coped and is still standing. He could have just disappeared years ago, but he's still here. He was surely the dominant animal in his first relationship with a dog, and now he is in the dominant position again. He has always been a fighter. Callie was an insecure and fairly neurotic, but affectionate creature. That's part of what made her easy to love. Collette was, and Natasha is, much more self-assured and independent.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-30041703328577871622018-11-18T14:37:06.270+01:002018-11-18T14:37:06.270+01:00I'm not especially fond of cats, but I make a ...I'm not especially fond of cats, but I make a big exception for Bertie who is such a sweet cat He never fought back when he was attacked repeatedly by Callie.chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.com
