Several Dogs and a Bold Kitty

This is Annie, the ophthalmologist’s dog. I shared her picture before, but she has grown since then. It was nice to see her again. I got a prescription for a new pair of glasses, to replace the ones that were prescribed by America's Best. Those did not work for me at all.


Next is a young cat who has appeared on our street. Deborah was concerned that it looked very hungry, but then a neighbor started putting out a bowl of food for it. 


On Thursday I saw the cat napping in the middle of the street. I coaxed it over to the other side, but then it crossed the street and followed me home. Charlie was watching through the storm door so I’ll let him tell the rest of the story.



<< The cat came in our yard. After Mom came in the house, it looked at me for a while. I like cats so I tried not to scare it. It came up on our porch.


I talked to it using my squeaky voice. I wanted Mom to let it come in, but she didn’t.



It looked right in the door, but it went away. I didn’t see it today, but it rained all day. Maybe it was in somebody’s house.

I’ll tell you what else happened this week. I saw my friend Sadie on Monday at the vet’s office, but I haven’t seen her since then. I heard she has to rest for a few days.

We had some warm days this week. Mom took me to the dog park in Strasburg and there were other dogs there.


This is Athena and Rosie. Athena‘s brother was there too. We had fun.

I hope you are having some fun. If you aren’t, go to a park!

  2. Love this! There is nothing quite like a cat who knows exactly how to handle a pack of dogs.

  3. Hello Linda and Charlie
    Annie is a pretty dog. I hope the cute cat has a home, it's been so cold at night. I think the cat wanted to come inside the house and play with Charlie. I hope Sadie is ok. The dog park sounds fun. Cute photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great week ahead. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

  6. Hello Linda :)
    Charlie you look so handsome in your last photo. You look like you're smiling, enjoying your time in the park with other dogs. Annie is a good looking dog too. Linda I hope your sight has improved with your new glasses.
    All the best for 2026
