For Monday's KCChronicals & ShadowTales we're re-posting an earlier offering.

(Posting early. In case this doesn't work I don't want to leave it to last minute.)

Shadow & Friends ~

Asleep in her bed,

Out on the porch,

When friends stop by.

The occasion was a visit by Laurie's very good friend Karen and her two
Golden Retrievers. That's the elder, Ellie, above.
They were here to help work on Laurie's barn. Well, Karen was anyway.

The Goldens trotted off to explore.

Upon their return, Winnie was ready to play with Shadow.

Ellie was not. Which was alright. Ellie's not as active as her sister.

Speaking of whom ~
Winnie and Shadow had a blast.


Insofar as Karen and Laurie and the barn, that's a story for another time;
specifically, January 23rd in "Horses & Around The Farm Friday".

KC's "likes" ~
He likes to lie on the bed.


But KC also likes to relax with Mommy in her recliner.

Especially when her hand settles 'neath his chin.

He likes hanging out on the computer desk.

And when Daddy offers scritches.

Sometimes he peers at the screen, on which he is the "wallpaper"
surrounded by blue file folders. Does he see in color?

or black and white? (It's known that cats' night sight aided in the
invention of Night Vision Goggles for the military.)

At any rate KC seems to like the elevated view from his desktop.

Still he likes his (and Shadow's) living room bed best of all.

Thanks for stopping by. See ya next week.

Animal friends, outdoors, comfortable beds, caring humans. What pup or kitty could ask for more?
