Cat

Shannon and I are not cat people.  And with 3 kids, one only being 18months, adding a new puppy to the mix was WAY more than enough.  Then toward early November a probably half grown cat appeared living under our back steps.  Chase has a huge love for cats.  Callie of course liked him too.  He was so good with them.  Chase carried him and snuggled with him constantly.  He was very at home with him and in the house.  The cat stuck around.  We found out were it belonged but their response was it will come home if it wants to, it knows the way.  As much as Shannon does not care for cats he built it a box for a home - that shows you how impossible it would be to send it away after seeing Chase with it.  It is the first thing he thinks of in the morning and it does not stop.  All he wants to do is hold the cat.  So the box Shannon built is right by the back steps.  We have been feeding it twice a day and it can only come in when someone is holding/playing with it.  Otherwise it has to go out.  They named it Flash but really we just call in kitten or cat.  He sits looking into the french doors a lot.  Chief has come a long way with her.  He barks at her but does not try to hurt her.  She has learned not to run from him and just bats at him- totally just messing with him.  Chief stays in the garage at night but out in his outdoor pen during the day.  When we left for Church Chief was in his pen and the cat was right outside the door to the pen messing with him.  When we got home Chief was in the pen sound asleep and the Cat was right outside the pen sound asleep.  Maybe their is hope for them.  Chase just want Chief to stop woofing at the cat :-)
Notice how much Chief has grown too!
