My dog’s got no nose.
\nHow does he smell?
\nBloody awful!<\/p>\n
The family has grown.<\/p>\n
I’m still a little bemused at the speed, and at the method.<\/p>\n
But one minute we were happy with two small humans, two large humans, and two girl cats.<\/p>\n
And then, the next minute, there were two small humans, two large humans, two girl cats, and two boy kittens.<\/p>\n
Beano and Dandy, two 14-week old kittens were seen at the RSPCA Rescue Centre.<\/p>\n
The next day they had moved in with us.<\/p>\n
Since then they have turned the house, and our lives, upside down.<\/p>\n
The level of toilet training they have is probably best categorised as ‘regrettable’.<\/p>\n
Their behaviour: ‘delinquent’.<\/p>\n
And their teeth and claws: ‘lethal’.<\/p>\n
Many wees and poos have been found, hither and yon.<\/p>\n
But usually hither.<\/p>\n
And when I say ‘hither’ I mean usually underneath one of the beds.<\/p>\n
But finding these little ‘accidents’ (though, between me and you, I think there’s an air of calculated, malicious deliberatism in the production line) has been made very difficult because of the cold.<\/p>\n
Colds.<\/p>\n
Because the two adults in the house are now sharing ‘the cold’.<\/p>\n
We’ve sniffed our way around the house every time we come in.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the sniffing has been successful.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the blocked-up noses have let us down.<\/p>\n
The two\u00a0one-year old #RescueKitties (now pending being relabelled as #RescueKatz) have not taken well to the interlopers.<\/p>\n
And we grown-up humans have tried to walk the thin and wiggly line that separates showing too much preference to either the #RescueKatz or the #RescueKittens.<\/p>\n
So there are behaviours to account for.<\/p>\n
And ownerships.<\/p>\n
And wee.<\/p>\n
And, inevitably, poo.<\/p>\n
Welcome to our world.<\/p>\n
