LOL! So glad you are all alright. What good critters Oliver and Boone are!
It's so cute how Boone cares for Oliver.


It really is funny how much he adores Oliver. Woe to the person who
doesn't treat HIS cat well. :-)

We found yet another good use for the kitty stroller. Evacuating the
premisis! We had a strong thunder storm roll thru this afternoon and
our building was hit by lightening. I felt and smelled it! The
building's fire alarms started blaring for s few seconds, stopped for
about two minutes and started blaring again and I heard the fire
department pull up outside so we decided to evacuate. Oliver loves his
stroller so much he hopped right in and let me close him up with no
problems. He would not have been so cooperative if it was his carrier.
Unfortunatly it was raining buckets when we left the building so we
all got drenched. The firemen seemed impressed with Oliver's stroller.
They think the lightening strike fried the alarm system but there is no
active fire. Oliver was very calm about the whole thing and even came
out of the privacy compartment to look at the fire trucks and meowed
"hello" at the fire captain

So now we're up to 4 uses for the stroller:


I was re-reading some old posts. I had forgotten tat Boone had been
trained to be a seeing eye dog. That explains why he is such a good
guardian --bless him. The stroller sounds like a great thing to have.

Boone really seems to know when he should be good and when he can get
away with acting like a typical dog. When he was a guide dog in pre
training we had this little blue coat that we would put on him that said
"guide dog in pre training" and the local businesses were more accepting
of letting a dog into their establishments with coats on. When Boone
got his coat and we started taking him places you could just see him
change from a goofy puppy to a upstanding canine citizen. The change
was both physical (head always up, no sniffing) and mental (paying
attention to what we wanted which still isn't always his strong suit).
When we took the coat off he reverted to goofy puppy almost instantly.
Very funny to watch! :-)

Margaret, kudos to your pets for being such fine animals especially in a
crisis. Boone is such a godsend, isn't he? And please give Oliver extra
skritches for being such a good kitty. Glad everything turned out well.
Jazz & his mama


Oliver got his extra skritches, as requested! I am just amazed at how
well they both did!

Emergency Vehicle

On a side note, I have to say how proud I am of my Lab, Boone. Like
all Labs he loves a party and any time he sees lots of people he
thinks it is a party and gets excited. But during our evacuation he
behaved extremly well, walking calmly beside the stroller in a very
stately manner and ignoring all the people and the other animals. He
sat quietly next to the stroller, ocassionally checking on Oliver
thru the mesh. He acted so proud when the fire captain talked to us
and he was able to show off Oliver and the stroller. Usually he
likes people to say hi to him but he was trying to get the guy to see
that he had Oliver inside the stroller. It cracked me up and made me
want to cry at the same time. He sure loves his cat!


Fantastic behavior by both your furkids. I'm so very glad everyone was
safe.

Thanks, Jill. They constantly amaze me.
