Penny and Mattie

If these two don’t give Jana and me a heart attack it will be a miracle.  They are still chasing each other from one end of the house to the other.  Penny smacks Mattie.  Mattie stomps her feet.  They touch noses. Then they are off and running.  Penny usually jumps up on the book cases or the pantry cupboard.  What makes it funny is that when she does this Mattie loses track of her and can’t find her.  So Penny is looking down at Mattie and Mattie is running around trying to find her.

Penny still plays in Mattie’s water.  We have to watch Mattie because she eats Penny’s food.

When we watch television or read, Jana sits on the couch and I sit in one of the chairs.  Penny likes to lay on my lap and snuggle.  Well…..Mattie has decided that she should be able to do the same.  Of course, she doesn’t sit on Jana’s lap, when she sees Penny coming to sit on my lap Mattie jumps on my lap.  When that happens Penny sits on the back of the chair.  I am surrounded by pets J

 

We had to take Jana’s tree down earlier than we planned because Miss Penny was not only playing with the ornaments and chewing on the tree branches, but we were worried that she was going to jump onto the tree.  She would sit on the railing between the dining room and living room and stare at the tree like she was going to jump.  She had already broken one ornament and we didn’t need her to break any more or damage the tree.  It as safer to take it down.

Jana did get a picture of her trying to hide in the tree.

She didn’t bother my tree hardly at all.  I did catch her chewing on the branches a couple of times, but that was it. 

We have had over four inches of rain in the past couple of days with more expected.  Poor Mattie doesn’t like to get her feet wet so Jana has to carry her over the puddles so she can potty.  As soon as she is finished she wants back in the house.  Jana looks like Nanook of the North when she takes Mattie outside.  She not only dresses for warmth but also for the rain.  It hasn’t been very cold, just damp.

We are not complaining though because we are about fourteen inches of rain short here.  This will help somewhat.  Besides, it wouldn’t do us any good to complain because it will either rain or not.

Penny likes the box my printer came in.  So, when she goes in the box, Mattie lays and looks at her.  She doesn’t understand why she would want to go in there.  If Mattie gets too close, Penny smacks her across the nose. 

Last night I sat down on the couch to watch the news, and Mattie started growling at me as if to say I am not supposed to sit there.  However, it didn’t last long.  She came over and wanted to be petted and started licking my hand as if to say she was sorry.

We are thoroughly enjoying these girls.  They definitely keep us entertained.
