Rusty's musings

BIG NEWS!

Oh My I have big news! I can barely write this i am so excited! Well Mommy just told me a secret. She and Daddy have been thinking about getting me a little brother for over a year now, They where on a list for a puppy in march but the mommy dog mis - carried. :( Well She told me that on the 14th of this month my little brother was born. She also told me that he will always be my little brother as he is a Pembroke Corgi (i dont know how big they get). I am so excited! This means a couple of things, first when he gets a little older we can stay home together when mommy and daddy go to work and we can play. Right now i go to my grandmas house and play with their dogs because i get a little bored, and second I will have someone to run around with. I am so excited!

What good is a cat?

I have mixed feelings about the cat, I know she is plotting to to steal my food!
I am so confused and frustrated. Let me tell you what happened when I tried to make friends and ask her to play:
This scenario has replayed itself several times with a little variation.

Rusty: Starts with a cordial offer to play "a good game of tug?" by offering her the other end of his rope toy.

Cat: turns up nose

Rusty: If that doesn't work, a quick tug on the tail should encourage her to play.

Bella: highly offended

Rusty: still not comprehending the danger, frustrated by the lack of enthusiasm gives the cat a gentle push
and then rolls the toy toward Bella.

Bella: now offended and disgruntled by this behavior and displeased by the offering unleashes a verbal tirade and a vicious swat and retreats to the comfort of the top of the fridge.

Rusty: completely bewildered by the over reaction to an offer to play, retrieves his rope to see of anyone
else will play.

Now I ask you, why does mom even keep her around!
