The love fest continues

Kozmo is doing so much better with Sparky. He still has impulsive moments where he tries to chase the cat. They aren't snuggling together alone but jealously seems to be the inspiration for their new found love. Both Kozmo and Sparky want to snuggle with the human and are jealous of the other one getting more attention. So this is what my Sunday evening looked like. I couldn't be happier!

Dog Walks Rock

Through Kozmo's classes I have been lucky enough to make two really awesome friends. Sunny & Marcy's human and Kaylee & Roscoe's human. These two ladies have a special place in my heart and I love the time I get to spend with them. We are always outside, with our dogs, and I always go home with a big smile.

Sunny & Marcy's human is usually the organizer. She sends out the invites, scopes the trail and coordinates the best dog walks. The great thing about these walks is that anyone and everyone is welcome. This week Kaylee and Roscoe's human rounded up Troy and his human to join us. I was also able to get my great friends, the human's of sweet Eden to join the group. Some of us have know each other forever, some just met. It didn't matter, we all enjoyed ourselves. So the hike started through a snowy trail on a warm sunny morning.

We came upon another human with two beautiful Border Collies. We all stop to put our dogs on leash and the Border Collie's got their leashes on. Their human yells, "my dogs are friendly" several of us call back that our dogs are also friendly. After some quick hellos and introductions Gunner and Kate's human decided to join us. We started out with 7 dogs and 9 humans. We ended a lovely hike with 9 dogs, 10 humans, and some new friends.

Our canine and human pack encountered a couple hiking. They asked if we were a club. We all laughed. If we were to try to be a club it wouldn't be fun anymore. We'd have rules and structure and meetings. We are just a group of like minded humans who love to walk in the woods with our dogs. The more the merrier.

Everyone had a wonderful Saturday morning and all I can say is Dog Walks Rock!!! Kozmo and I are looking forward to our next dog walk.

We just added 2 Border Collies to the group

Look, Kozmo does come when I call him

Look closely, all 9 dogs are in this photo

The moment I've been waiting for

From the day I adopted Kozmo I've been waiting for Kozmo and Sparky to be friends. Koz spent the first year he was with me trying to chase the cat to engage him in play. Sparky hid for months. As he got braver he occasionally had to put Kozmo in his place with his claws.

For several months, Sparky has been in the same room with Kozmo peacefully. There even have been some naps with a human in between the dog and cat. Of course, I never have my camera with me for these wonderful family naps.

Last night Kozmo was beside me on the couch and Sparky came to sit on my lap. What happened next made me so happy, they touched noses. I didn't have a camera with me, but my phone was close. It's a terrible blurry phone photo but I managed to get proof of Kozzy and Sparky becoming friends.

blurry....but I have proof peace between cats and dogs does exist!

Sparky is a funny cat. He has a quirky personality. He makes me laugh every day. About an hour before we were all together on the couch I found Sparky in the living room alone. This photo cracked me up. Silly cat.

Silly Sparky
