A Week with Howard

While Mom and Dad were basking in the sun with Mike and Lamiae in San Antonio, Howard came to stay with us for a week. He and Penelope are pretty good buddies, and Penelope was actually excited when I brought Howard home. He's calmed down quite a bit since we had him, and I had a lot of fun giving him hair cuts!

Howard basically followed Penelope around wherever she went. Since Penelope follows me everywhere I go, I had a bigger entourage than usual while he was here.


Howard had never seen a cat before, so he was very curious about Pippa. Luckily Pippa is not easily scared, because at first Howard barked whenever he saw her. They slowly came to an understanding that the other was ok, but it was obvious that Pippa wasn't too fond of this little white dog.


Whenever Penelope went outside, so did Howard. I let him off his line a few times to run around, and it was really cute to see Howard's little legs romping around the yard and barking back at the German Shepherds next door.

Bath time!


Clean and pretty!

While Howard was a very good boy when he stayed with us, we all sighed in big relief when he was reunited with his mommy!
