their names should be Handsome and Nice


The woman at the front desk explained to me that the nice little one has to eat his food up on the highest part of the palm tree because the other one is on a special diet and is too fat to jump up there.  She said they used to put the food on the second tier but the fat one would reach up and knock the bowl down and then eat all the food as fast as he could.

I LOVE THEM.

This was the first time I saw them when it was just us and they both came up to me and just stood there for a few moments while I pet them and told them how nice they were and then they walked away.

I was looking at the stats on my blog yesterday and saw that somebody had been looking at this post I did last year about the detective and weezie being best friends.  Being reminded of those good times and then seeing these two best friends hanging out made me feel even more that the detective needs some companionship.

The real question is, cat or dog...

how I knew it would be ok


My Grandfather was able to be transferred to a great facility today and we are all extremely grateful.  It will give him some more time to recuperate while we figure out what our plan is going to be for the future.

I actually went to visit it yesterday which is when I saw this sign and realized that even I would like to stay at this place if it means visits from these two handsome guys.  I really like the description of them "wandering around in the Administrative offices", I feel like that's exactly I would describe cat behavior.  I would also accept "creeping" in place of "wandering".

I actually saw both of them when I was there yesterday but they were far too busy with their administrative duties to be bothered with me and I was ok with that.  I look forward to more opportunities to interact with them when I go to visit my grandfather.

And it wasn't until he checked in to his room this afternoon that I even knew about this third handsome guy that is apparently a fixture at this place as well:


I like that he is so happy and fluffy and nice and just wearing a sensible dress shirt and tie.  They mean business at the Pines, of that much we can be certain.  I wish the name weren't so reminiscent of Shady Pines but that's the least of my concerns right now.  Just glad that my grandfather will continue to be taken care of in the best way possible.
