That Cat

On arrival to my new home I found I had a housemate - a cat! Her name was Shima, she was a big gray ball of fluff - and she didn't like dogs. Shima was a stray that came to live with mum a few years earlier.

When I came to the house Shima spent nearly a year living in the spare room, much of that time on top of the wardrobe out of my way. She only came down to feed and use the kittylitter. Slowly she made it out and we got used to each other but we had to stay at arms length away. On the lounge one sat on either side of mum and same with our sleeping arrangements at night - one on either side and all was well. Sometimes we had a little game when I would chase her from one end of the house to another, then she would chase me back, mum would laugh at us.

In the Begining......

..... my mum wasn't really a doggie person, she had always had cats (more about them in a later post). One day in February 1998 she said "I want a puppie" so she went to the RSPCA where she knew there would be all sorts of doggies for sale. All she saw were dogs until someone told her where to find the puppies.... and she found me!

I was only 8 weeks old and a cutie if I may say so. They wouldn't let her take me home straight away cause I still needed some vacinations, but they said she could pay a deposit and that no one else could take me home.

So a couple of weeks later she came back and I went to her place.... She didn't tell me she had a cat!

First Post

Hi All, my name is Dudley and I am an 11 year old Silky Terrier, born December 1997. I thought it would be fun to start a blog because I am so clever. I hope to post once a week and let you all know what I am up to and also my friends.
