Play time

My brudder Jerome loves playing as much as I do.

And as you know, we love the same toys !

Look what he did to Pouchie,

the neighbor's cat who spends her time in our home.

This poor man's persian is not to be trusted around

little ones because she's quite snappy.

But when she's not touched, she's game for anything!

Look! Jerome has fun with a part of his plastic storage unit.

There is a lot of action in Longueuil these days!

New look, old habit

Guess who got a great new haircut?

No, not me!

Cavaliers do not have their hair cut, people...

It's a major no, no!

Maybe a bit around the paws, but that's it.

It's Jérôme!

He looks much better now, doesn't he?

You can't see much on the picture,

but take my word for it.

Mom told me he just cried a tiny bit

while the hairdresser worked her magic.

Good boy!

Guess I'll have to get back to my old habit

(stealing stuff!)

to get noticed...

Take a guess

Mom had a great idea this morning, while Jerome was sleeping.

She said: "Rouky, let's upgrade your blog and take it to a whole new level.

We'll create a quiz!"

"Great idea!"

OK! It's time! Let's play Whose poo smells the best?

Yeah, that's really the game! Mom is that tired!

1- Cavalier poo

2- Domestic cat poo (Misha's for example)

3- Human toddler poo (let's say after a meal at Pizza Hut in Beijing)

I can't be the judge because they all smell good to me...

Let's the expert weight in: Sophie, your turn!

And the winner is:

Domestic cat!

Bye bye!

Bye bye Vanille...

My mom has always said that my sister Vanille would be

the first cat in the family to reach 20.

It was not meant to be...

Although she still hated every animal on the planet with

a passion that forced admiration, at 14, Vanille was

a shadow of her former self...

She, who used to run, jump, and purr on my mom's pillow at night,

had been reduced to sleeping... and not much else.

She was just skin and bone and she could not keep any food.

Was it the right time to say good-bye?

The vet said yes, because she was too sick, but we'll never know for sure...

Bye bye Vanille! I hope we'll see each other again in a long, long time...

Supervisor in chief

My big brudder sure runs around a lot!

When I'm not chasing his toys or the food

he drops on the floor, I'm in charge supervising him.

See, he never leaves my sight!

And when mom puts body cream

on his dry skin, I try to lick him all over!

"But Rouky, what about those pictures from China?"

Well, if daddy would take the USB key out of the bag he brings to work,

that would help me!!!

Our first walk together

I'm back home again! Finally!

I was treated very well at the doggie daycare.

In fact, mom thinks I put on a few pounds...

What a big surprise I had when I entered the door:

a big brudder, with shiny brown eyes and a lovely smile!

Life will never be the same.

He's still on "China time", playing at night

when I'm trying to sleep on my pillow.

Jerome is a lot of fun: he already learned

to share his human food with me and

mom must have given me 100 treats

to leave his toys from my mouth.

We are going to have a great time, it seems!!!

Yesterday, we took our first walkie together.

Don't be fooled by this picture: he fell asleep for 2 minute at most!!!

Mom is still trying to manage us without looking like a fool.

She'll get it, don't worry!

Would you like to look at pictures taken in Beijing?

Mom showed them to me on her laptop.

As soon as Jerome is asleep, she'll share her best with you.
