Happy NOMS Day!

I don't have too many friends that aren't kitties, but I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce three of my woofie friends and human relatives who are all definitely Not of My Species!

This is Baxter. He belongs to my Mom's nephew, Russell (remember the 12 year-old boy that was holding me and showing my floofy belly) who is a big Clemson fan. He insisted on bringing Baxter down to one of the South Carolina Tailgate parties and he was the hit with all of the Gamecocks. We forgave him for wearing all of that orange. Baxter is a Shih Poo, just like Bandit.

This is Foster, (Australian Shepherd) and Sidney, (a Minature Australian Shepherd) and they belong to my Mom's sister, the doctor! Foster is very friendly and likes to "herd" everyone when they go for walks. Sidney came to live with my human aunt last summer. Sidney has two different colored eyes and is very smart and cute.

This is Bandit and Nannay. You met Bandit a few weeks ago when he came to visit me. He is a Shih Poo (half Shih Tzu and half Poodle) and came to live with my human grandmother in May. He is in his "wild" puppy stage and is wearing out my human grandmother, who we all call Nannay. Nannay makes my mom cover over every day to play with Bandit, so he will go to sleep. This is starting to cramp some of our time together, but he's pretty cute for a woofie.

Of course, I had to put a picture of my Mom and me. Mom is definitely not of my same species, but she is the best different animal to me! My Mom is truly a nice, Southern Lady who says me must be tolerant of those that are different from us and love everyone for who or what they are. I, on the other hand, being a cat, prefer the company of Mom and ME! I guess I need some politically correct training!
