Tall As a Tree

There are plenty of tall folks out there living a normal life, but our M always seems to run into issues that extend beyond her clumsiness. She's a rather tall gal surrounded by tree climbing cats. Recently she thought she was viscously attacked by Farrah, the pregnant cat we were supposed to foster. A careful breakdown of the situation and after talking to many cat savvy persons said otherwise. Farrah did not attack M. She tried to climb up her long leg. That was quite a relief.
Having just recently established that  M's leg doubles as a tree trunk, we were more entertained rather than shocked when Hank, the rhodesian ridgeback, a dog, got confused just like Farrah, the cat. 

The evidence is worth a thousand dog treats:

M's trunk

Hank

I asked M not to wash her pants that were saturated with the aroma of my guy, but for some reason, she didn't listen to me this time. I guess I need to train her better.

  6. I think Hank was just trying to claim you for his own. Don't you feel flattered? Look at that handsome face!

  7. Hank is a known territorial "pee-er" - He was just claiming M as his own.

    And Twink, as for NOT listening.... You do that very well!!! But I love you so, I can't help but laugh!

  8. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serious?!?!?! Hank wized on M?!!?!

    We must be honest, this is a bit funny and still HORRIFYING all at the same time.

  9. BOLOLOL - that is hysterical. Our Mom had a friend who had taken two pups from rescue and then found out how hard it is to try to train two little ones at one time. She found a good home for one of the little guys and went over to pay a visit and meet the family. As soon as the little pup got inside, he proceeded to lift his leg and pee on the mom's jeans. At least the story had a happy ending as they still took the pup.

  13. Ha! That is like when my grandpa angus the airedale pee'd on all the greyhounds at the greyhound adoption place.

    So your mom has tree trunk leggies? How does she walk? Does she turn colors in the fall?

  14. Hank is definitely a marker dog, hehe... perhaps it is M's lucky day :)

    Question for wise Twink: Apparently my constant shedding is driving the hoomans up the walls as they need to bring out the vacuum monster ever so often... hey, what's a dog to do?

    Licks, hero

  17. Never happened here. Nope never. At least not that we would ever admit to.

  18. Ok, first for the M and Hank all we can say is ha ha - way to go Hank!

    Now for the tree thing - well that is just normal for cats. We weren't born yet, but when Kirzon was young (probably less than a year) he climbed all the way up mom's leg to her back - and luckily her friends were there because he wouldn't get down and she had to yell "get him off". We all have done it - some more successful some less, but everyone tries it. But you do grow out of it eventually. Farah was feral so even though she is a bit older she just needs to grow out of it.
