Bob and blackie's relationship

Hi, Blackie here!

I have to continue our story --- Did i tell you how much I love Bob, and that for a long time we were very close? He was like my mother to me, and he would let me suck on him when I wanted some comfort. Mommy thought this was weird, and even the humane society was upset. When the Humane society called up mommy to check on me and Bob, mommy told them that Bob was beating me up when I tried to nurse on him, and they said thank god! But i was very upset because I was so used to Bob being like my own mommy.

Well, for a long time Bob was ok with me sucking on him, and he would lick me while I tried to breastfeed on him, but finally he had enough and so now, every time I try to do it, he will beat me up.

These days, I don't hang out with Bob anymore. It was very hard to get beat up after he would lick my face. He was telling me that I had to grow up. I guess i was forced to grow up really fast! So, usually I will hang out with Mommy, and Bob will hang out by himself or Daddy. No more clinginess with Bob. I sure miss Bob, but I am tired of being beat up, and I know that my human mommy loves me, so I am happy enough.

Mommy is amazed at how friendly I've become since moving here with Bob. I wouldn't let them touch me at first, but now I find that I enjoy being stroked and petted, and I know they will not hit me. I sometimes think they will hit me if I am being bad, as they say, when I try to do stuff like open doors. But mommy is very gentle with me, and makes sure that I know she loves me.

Bob knows how to work it - he knows how to schmooze and kiss up to Mommy and daddy when it's time to be fed. I guess Bob is good at that! I just donn't know how to do it. All i do is cry and cry when I want something. I don't usually cry that much, but when I do it's pretty loud. I have to make sure every one can hear me!

Daddy likes to hold me, as you have all seen photos of this. I am learning not to struggle too much, but sometimes I just want to be put down! He squezes me too hard!

Ok, I better go now.

Love, Blackie

Hi, Blackie here!

It's another Saturday evening, and I am forced to think up a Camera Critters post. I have to admit, every day Bob and I do the same thing. One of our favorite things to do is hang out in the patio. Here's some photos!



This first one is of me sitting near the glass door.



And here's one of Bob sitting on top of the couch. I think his tongue is sticking out!

Mommy is taking the photo of us through the glass door, that's why it looks funny.

Anyway, we spend a few hours every day after breakfast sitting in the sun out here in the patio room. It is enclosed, so no scary animals (like the next door neighbor's cat) can beat us up. It is also very warm and we like to take naps in here! The past few days it has rained (water comes out from the sky) so that was kind of neato to watch.

Well, that is it for this weekend.

Love, Blackie

Hi everyone, Blackie here!

Mommy had a friend visit on Friday and she took so many photos of me. her name is Sandy and she lives in Pittsburgh, but she comes to California at least once a year to visit someone or other. Friday she came to visit me! Well, ok, she came to visit mommy, but mommy also wanted Sandy to meet me and Bob. here is me in Daddy's arms while Sandy tries to pet me.

Here's a photo of Mommy and Sandy, and do you see sneaky Bob in the background? He always has to get into the picture!



Ok, that's it for this week. Sorry it wasn't more exciting. Mommy is always catching me lying on my back, so she keeps taking the same photo over and over... she always misses when i'm playing with my bags (I like to hide my head in them and move around) or chasing my favorite toys. She thinks I'm must like a doggy, always running and fetching my toy and then I bring it to her!

Ok, talk to you all later...

Love, Blackie
