Descanso Gardens with Allyn

In the rose garden, I think I prefer Descanso's Rose Garden to Huntington's. Descanso has more private arbors, gazebos and walkways, you feel lost in the roses!

Doodle and Dad

Doodle wasn't feeling well this week, he's feeling better but you can see how his little eye is runny and how tired he is. He ate something, who knows what, he is a corgi after all. Anyway, he had to get two shots, one for his tummy and one for his lower innards. Poor little doodle. He's better though.

I cans not wake up, important dreams happning

Bastet 18 years old Bastet enjoys Beer, Chips, and the occasional cracker or piece of toast. He is especially adept at meowing loudly in the wee hours of the morning with incredible aim and precision as he positions himself at the entrance of your ear canal. This insures your hearing him, although his volume is such that you'd hear him were you there with him or were you in the front yard cranking up the lawn mower. He also enjoys padding around on the wooden floors with all his claws extended. His favorite hobbies to date are warm laundry snuggling, seen above and heat pad surfing.

Note his excellent form below.

Billie 15 Years old

Billie is an avid fetcher, hisser, tongue-sticker-outer, extended growler, yoga master and sock drawer snuggler. She enjoys calling people into the bedroom to play with her, which you must do regardless of what you were doing, or she will not stop calling you. Her favorite hobbies are interactive petting, she doesn't believe in staying still to be pet. Billie also enjoys smacking other animals on the head, which she does with admirable speed and stunning auditory effect.
