Lucky

After reading Kim's post, it just reminded me how very lucky we are with our animals.

Thelma loves Lydia. She is so patient with her too. Lydia has pulled out clumps of fur, pulled her tail, used her as a pillow, tries to pick her up, poked her face and the biggie for Thelma, played with her paws...and Thelma has taken it with grace. Most of the time she does nothing, which I think helped Lydia not do those thing for very long..she did not get a reaction from Thelma. The most Thelma will do is just walk away from her. Thelma is at least 12 years old but could be older. Mark got her as an adult cat and had her for several years before I came into the picture. She is a super cool cat. We were hoping her personality would run off on the kitten we got but for those of you that have met Marian..that did not work. Now Marian is not mean..she just does not like other people too much. But she is getting better.

Anywho being a distinguished lady like Thelma is, she is not much of a player...but the one and only thing she will play with is string. So the balloon strings around our house right now is just too tempting for her. The funniest thing is when Lydia is hold the balloon and running around with it and Thelma is running after her playing with the ribbon attached to the balloon. We had to break up a "fight" between the two of them last night. Lydia kept yelling at Thelma because she could not pull the balloon and Thelma along! It was really cute.
