And as exuberant as Vino! Jill OTOH, she may be so overjoyed to see you she'll forgive you right away - of course reserving the right to get back at you at a later date. Last summer I decided it was time for Rocky to end his days as a stray and hauled him off for neutering. He stayed at TED's two nights, and he was overjoyed when showed up to pick him up. When I took in him for neutering I was planning on rehoming him with a friend, but he was so happy, headbutting and thanking me for rescuing from that horrible place, that I ended up keeping him. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

"Takayuki" wrote in message ... "badwilson" wrote: "Takayuki" wrote in message .. . I'll bet Dennis gets enthusiastic greetings from Vino, too! Well, it's getting less enthusiastic every time Dennis leaves. The 6 weeks away are making Vino seem to forget who Dennis is for a few days. But after he's been home for a while, then Vino remembers him. It's sad really, I feel really bad for Dennis too. Remember when Jeanette fostered Maddie kitten? She said that when she visited her new home a few weeks later, Maddie didn't recognize her until she made a friendly sound. Maybe Dennis can establish a certain routine, like playing with a particular toy, or giving Vino a particular snack, that would make the little lightbulb in Vino's head turn on a bit faster. Smell is also supposed to be a strong trigger for memory. Dennis is definitely *not* the snack giver around here. He insists that only I should feed him...smart guy because he sees how Vino pesters me at breakfast and dinner times! But Dennis definitely has his own style of play with Vino and he does do that as soon as he gets home. That's how we can tell it takes Vino a couple of days to clue in, because before that he just stares dumbly at Dennis when he shows him "the claw" and tries to get Vino into a fight with him. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

Pam S. remembering Denis finding lizards for Vino to hunt. Oh sure, but as many lizards as there are around here, there isn't one inside every day. But he definitely points them out to Vino as soon as he sees them! Hmmm, maybe that's why there seems to be less of them lately? -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.
