Oooo, What Is That ? ... Pounce !!

Tanji spots

movement,

slowly stalking,... before

pouncing,

and coming back with a big

shaking of his ears.

Oooo, What is that ?

Pounce !

I see something

over there,...

New Heights

Vladi looks down from his new spot...

There is no doubt that Vladi loves to climb. Yesterday Les looked out the bathroom window into the kennel and saw an excited little Vladi scale the post supporting the roof. That is pretty high, with no "branches" to help in the descent.

Uh-oh, how did I get up here?

Vladi tries to figure out how to go sideways,
but the rafter is in the way...

Tanji watches intently from
the soft sand of the kennel "litterbox" below.

The little puff-ball is getting ready to come down,
he shakes his paws and spreads his claws...

and climbs down (with a bit of slipping)
to a waiting Tanji.

Vladi is momentarily calm, but we know
it is the calm before another climbing storm.

Golden Boys

Tanji's silhouette in the late-day sun.

Today was a gorgeous sunny day, when we took the boys out at 3 p.m., the sun was already low in the sky, casting golden rays everywhere. Usually we take all of the boys back inside together, but once Uschi and Vladi went inside, Tanji wanted to run around a bit more. Uschi and Vladi ran out to the kennel to see what was going on...

Vladi is watching Tanji and Uschi is watching the
birds flying to the feeders for a late-day snack.

Vladi is wagging his tail with a big smile,
as he watches Tanji run around.

Uschi is smiling too at the little birdies flying nearby.

Tanji spots his brothers on the perch and
runs back to the house. Its time for dinner!

Where's My Cake ?

Yesterday was Vladi's six month birthday.

Is it cake time ?

What is that ?

Hmmmm ?

I don't think that is cake !

Really, what ISS that ?

Careful Vladi
(Uschi's ears are back)

It is kind of scary.

No really, where is my cake ?

Those look a little better,...

Hey, those look like little "V" cookies.

Do I see a "T" and a "U" ?

Happy Birthday Vladimir.
