My daughter has taught Nine, the kitten, how to sit in her arms like on a perch. He likes to be with her and sit there for a long, long time. I think it is funny the relationship that each of the humans in the house have with each of the animals, and how they feel it is special to them. And it is. Everyone creates their own kind of bond – human to human – animal to animal – and animal to human. When you have a multi-species household, you learn that everyone and everything has their order in the pack and a particular relationship. Somehow, I find it interesting how the animals know the younger humans (even if adult size) from the older humans (who sometimes are smaller than the younger humans). Is it based on energy, inflection of tone, personal presence? To the animals around here, I am the food source. If nothing else, they like me because I am the primary opener of cans, boxes, and bags. Hey, we all must have our purpose in life. (Oh yah, I am also the maker of rules, the teacher of lessons, the thrower of toys, the giver of medicine, and the major cuddler and tummy tickler – which also has something to do with the relationships I guess.) Every relationship is special and each of my animals, and humans, mean something different and wonderful. Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo. ❤

Mom and I can relate, even though we’re the only ones who live here. When friends and family come to visit, they cannot read my mind! Weird, right? I can teach them to cuddle and snuggle with me, but when I want something, I go to Mom. She “gets” me, and I “get” her.
Love and licks,
Cupcake

That is so true. I understand the personality of each animal because I am home all day with them. I know exactly what they want, and when I motion or talk to them I know how they will respond. Our routine is the same every day. All the dogs and cats love Tommy – 16 year old boy. All the cats will sit on his lap. Only one cat, Momma, will sit on my lap and that is only in the bathroom. She gets very upset if I lock her out of the bathroom. When Tom is home, Cody, our rottweiler will not go out in the morning until he gets up about 10:00. When he is not home Cody stays on my schedule. They keep our lives interesting.
