The house is full of furry visitors

 Thanksgiving was a wonderful time for us.......I am hoping that it was a wonderful time for all of you as well. 


As most of you know ,the only pet I have now, is our black cat Taboo. When our daughter comes to visit, she brings her three pets consisting of two dogs,
Kaena
and Ruby,
along with her cat, Ellie.
My daughter is on a two week vacation and has left her group with us , trusting them to my care.
The pets are sweet and friendly, and the only hiccup I have is that my cat and my daughter's cat do not like each other and the dogs are over anxious with my cat. So to keep every pet happy and safe, my living room now has two large dog crates and I have managed to make the living room separate from the rest of the house, giving my cat free range in the other rooms.  My daughter's cat has complete reign of the guest bedroom.  My  mornings are taken up with a long and enjoyable walk with both dogs around the perimeter of our property and up the field road and back to the house......then it's feeding time for everyone.......and then I spend time playing with Ellie.  The day goes fairly well with the occasional trip outside to a play yard for the dogs and ends with a late afternoon long walk with them before the day ends. Since our Sophie has passed......it's been awhile since I have taken such long walks and I had forgotten how much time and attention dogs want.  I do realize that although I love dogs, I do not want any for my own.  I have gotten used to the freedom and doing whatever at any time and going anywhere at anytime without a concern .  
How about you?  Do you have dogs and cats?  Do you want more than what you have now?
I would love to hear!
