All the Pets

Most often around here we see pictures of Jackie, Angel, Thalia, and every once in a while, Ebby and Salem. I usually don't post many pictures of our other dog, Mariah. There's a couple of reasons for this. First of all, Mariah isn't my dog, she belongs to my stepson. I still love her, and I think she's a great dog, but she lives outside, and most of the time I take pictures inside the house. It's just the way I am.

Mariah is good with the other pets. For instance, Mariah is very careful around Jackie. I think she understands she could really hurt Jackie if they were to play even mildly rough. Mariah also rounds up the cats should they somehow get outside. Most of the cats aren't allowed outside. They have all the room they need inside the house, and I feel they are much safer indoors. Sometimes Ebby is allowed outside because she can handle herself pretty well. Salem likes to go out back, and is so fat she doesn't even try to jump up onto the fence, much less over it. Mariah seems to understand this, too. If Salem is outside, she doesn't bother her, but on the few occasions when Thalia slips out back, Mariah rounds her up as if she were a sheep, and guides her back to the back door.

In any case, this week I thought I would post some pictures that include each of our pets.

Poor Mariah. We have to put her food up so that Jackie and Angel can't get to it. That doesn't stop them from trying, though. Little Jackie is just too small to get up there and get her some food. Lucky for her, her daddy feeds her when he gets home from work. The hall is a busy thoroughfare. Poor Salem came here to get away from the crowd, but Angel came screaming down the hallway chasing after Thalia. (That's her tail in the lower right hand corner of the picture.) Salem tries going a little further down the hall, but here comes Thalia, sashaying down the walk with Jackie close behind. Thalia is evil. Ebby out smarted all of them, and listens to her favorite radio station in relative peace.

So there you go, a post that included all of our pets. Return next week for more in the continuing adventures of Jacqueline and Angel. Until then, please go check out the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings, and the Friday Ark at The Modulator for more interesting animals, and don't forget the Carnival of the Cats this Sunday.
