Almost home! Into the last stretch on the way back home and when one stops,
they all stop for a well-earned sit down. Balu out front (no surprise: he
always wants to be first to the food dish), Kitty, then Khan and Mico stops
to sniff the flowers again. Oh, and Holly the Hound, of course.
In truth, the cats often follow us whether it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday or Saturday too and, no I didn't train them to do it. They
just seem to think that this is what you do, since the dog and I do. Natural
really, I suppose! :)

It is only about once a month that we have a bag of crisps (chips for the
colonial readers) as a treat and these are the reputedly "healthy" ones, in
that they are made with olive oil, so I don't think Holly is in much danger
of harm from overeating junk food. But the oil makes the packet of great
interest to she who must lick everything. The first times I gave Holly the
bag (after I ate 99% of the crisps), the bag would go all over the floor of
the house - a game in itself, perhaps. Nevertheless, I showed her ONCE by
placing her paw on the bag to keep it still and I've never had to show her
again. Here she is holding it firmly in place with both "hands", which she
did for herself without being prompted. :)

Well, adopted son and mother dog.
