As most of you know (Gissi here, gabs dog for those who do not know) I got a brother a year ago a cat called Buttons and let me tell you he was hard to train, I mean he is so naughty and cheeky at times
Well Mum would not let him out because she is scared something will happen to him, but today Mum decided that he needs to go out as he has to much energy and in the night he keeps attacking her feet
Well she let Buttons out this morning while I was in the back yard, he just waltzed passed me, me not knowing that Mum let him out started to shout (bark) like mad as I thought he had escaped
Mum came out and told me that she had let him out so I was to shush
Well he was a good Boy as Mum said as he stayed in the back yard, little does she know that he had been on the wall, attacked some plants, chased some flies, scared me when he jumped from the wall and landed next to
But because he had not wandered of and came to Mum when she called him she says he had been good
The thing is though when I do my bits and pieces out there Buttons charges up to me and then pounces I mean I am in the middle of you know what and you have this cheeky cat pouncing on you but Mum did see it and trying not to laugh she told him to quit or he would have to come in well he just sat there and watched me which I was not happy about at all, Mum went indoors and I knew it was so I would not see her laugh I gave Buttons a right horrible stare but he did not care he walked away
So do you have a pain of a sibling living with you or even just a pain????

That's so funny. But you need to watch him carefully. Cats can sure get into some messes when they're let outside. My cat hasn't been outside since I adopted her. I don't think she even cares to try it. She'll sit at the open door and just look and smell whenever I'm carrying in groceries or whatever. No siblings here. She's happy just like things are. We do very well together without 'someone' else impinging upon her attention.

Mum has been watching him and so far so good he is not out all Day he has to come in and then Mum lets out again a bit later and he is being good going to Mum as soon as she calls him, he has been done as well so no fear of him running of and coming home with a Family ........Gissi

When you grow up you learn that your siblings are actually your best friends. I may have been the pain, at least part of the time growing up. My little brother is coming to visit this weekend, and I am excited.

Maybe the little bits of outside time are doing him good.

For the first seven months of having Sherlock, Sherlock had a brother (brother not by blood) Leon, whom I eventually had to find another home for because of money issues. Sherlock would stand on top of the couch, and when Leon would walk by he'd jump off the couch and pounce on top of Leon. It was the funniest thing ever.

Sadie Hound lives with us and she is the boss. We have no house cats at this time but we have a barn kitty, Sadie respects her and knows that she has a very important job, but once in a while Sadie doesn't think this kitty is doing what she should and gives her a snuff and a bark. This kitty is an old lady and she doesn't take anything from a hound dog, so Sadie often will come back to the house
and requires treatment for a scratch or two. Of course Sadie keeps the Llamas in line, she tells us anytime they are not acting like they should. But Llamas are camels and they know that any other creatures including humans are inferior and not to be noticed unless they are called by name or there is food available. Hounds who are kept outside their fence are of little or no account. Sadie does not agree which makes for a noisy connection each time they are exposed to each other. All other ranch dogs and visitor dogs are kept in line with a nip and a bark, more bark if they do not obey. All in all it's a busy life for Sadie Hound.

Of Gssi! I'm spool glad to see you! I was just telling your mum what a great comfort you are to your Aunti Cookie. My name has changed since I last talked to you Gissi. But I'm the same Aunti Cookie.
That was just plum awful that you had noooo privacy at a time like that. I bet your mum did get tickled though. Live you, Little Man.

Hi Auntie Cookie I know your name changed and I could never forget my Auntie Cookie
I agree that it is awful that I can not have privacy at a time like that but try telling Buttons this, yes I am sure Mum was laughing at me because she knew I was mad I love you to Auntie Cookie

Oh Gissi, I feel so sorry for you! Having to share your life with a MOGGIE!!! 
Us dogs just have to stick together. Just try and ignore the pain 
. It must be annoying for you not even getting peace to do your natural needs.
Take care.
Two legs good - four legs better (unless they are attached to a moggie).

When Harmony goes out, she usually stays in the yard, but sometimes she goes down the road a few yards to where she used to live. There's a new cat there, which doesn't please her at all, so I haven't dared to let her see the babies, who are getting quite rambunctious at 4 weeks.

Well Mum is hoping that he will not venture further but I will have to ask her not to let him out when I need to do what I have to do as I really do not want to be pounced on or watched for that matter it can really put a dog of you know .......Gissi
