Meat Snorp

Sans Louie.
Louie stayed the night at Grandpa's house last night. So this morning I woke up to Snorp at the foot of the bed. That almost never happens, because Snorp doesn't like to be too snuggley and always has an escape route planned. When Louie is here, he will be on the bed first and take far too much room to include Snorp and stay within his snuggle requirements.

There was Snorp and there was Meatloaf the kitten. He looked at her, she rolled over on her back, exposing her warm and fuzzy belly. Meatloaf slowly reached her hand toward Snorp. Snorp seemed skeptical about this kitten attempting to gently touch his face. He's just that kind of suspicious kind of dog.

Contact!
Snorp shook his head about to get her off of him. She had claws! Not fair. Snorp knows he has to be gentle with the kitten. He punched her back with his nose, mouth closed, no teeth. It only encouraged her further. Meatloaf began batting around his snout with both hands. Full on boxing match, two kitten paws against one dog mussel.

Soon enough, the cat paws win. Snorp jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. Meatloaf scrambled around to flip over and get her feet under her and chase after the big 100lb hairy black beast. Fearless Meatloaf. She chased Snorp from the room.

Sulking.
Snorp came back in a few minutes later, looking bothered and embarrassed. It seemed that he didn't really want to 'play' with this cat, she was kind of mean. He came back up on the bed, but didn't relax like he had before. He sat up, ears perked up and alert, waiting for the next attack.





My gentle giants.
I'm so proud of having such a gentle dog. He knows he could eat that fuzzy little squirrel thing in one quick second, but he doesn't, because he knows this is our pet. He tolerates her. What a good boy. Louie is gentle in his own way, it's just much more clumsy than Snorp style.

Being sick, I've only been taking photos and writing from my bed for the last few days. Thanks for your patients while I recover. I will soon have more exciting stories and photos of Blind Louie and family.

  1. This reminds me of Josephine playing with Snorp. She is about the size of his head so she just kind of jumps on his nose. He is good with kittens because he had to tolerate a Pomeranian.
