Rascal and Joey's Happy Tail
Joey is without question, the most interesting kitty we've known. He's
much more comfortable hanging out with the dogs than the other kitties. He's
extremely social and comes to the door to greet guests along with the dogs.
He travels very well in the car and has made one long distance trip to visit
my father in Mississippi. He likes to sit on the top of a headrest or
staring out the window with one of the dogs. He loves the outdoors and is
always just a short distance behind the dogs.
Ray, our husky mix, can always call Joey home. Inevitably, if Joey is out
too long, I just go outside with Ray and say "Where's Joey". Ray will
vocalize that awesome husky "woo-woo" and within minutes Joey will appear at
the back porch ready to come in.
We recently returned from a hiking trip and Rascal was the BEST climber.
She's a very "girly-girl" though. She doesn't like to get her feet wet,
won't go out in the rain, never strays away from my side and insists that
it's really only important for her to look like a "pretty girl".
There have been several times that, with a lot of activity with kids coming
and going, the door is left open. Boo, our oldest at 16, still can manage to
make it several houses down before we get a call. Ray will travel a little
way but now we have an invisible fence, so he's pretty well contained.
Rascal doesn't even need the fence and we've never had to use the collar,
because she's just not going anywhere without her mommy. She'll be sitting
right there at the front door waiting for her siblings to come home.
