That's interesting Donna. I haven't heard the term Torbie before. Yes, I know what you mean about cats. I'm hoping my cat will come out to the living room on Christmas day. Ever since we got Harley she tends to just stay in my room which is kind of my part of the house. She likes it best when I'm in there though. If I'm in the other part of the house for a long period of time she will come and look for me. I never know if it's just because she wants outside or not but usually she leads me back to my room. Aren't they funny? She hates to share me with the dog. She was my cat at my apartment and was only just getting comfortable in the house when we got the puppy. She has a high up perch in my room in the bay window where the dog can't get her. Sometimes she will chase him out of the room. He's scared of her.

Of course the dog loves to be around me too. He loves to come in and jump up on my little couch and push his way under the quilt. I used to have a wool afghan up there but he found a little hole in it and made it bigger. He loves wool and he loves to chew, although he's getting better about that. I have a picture of him in the afghan that I love. I know it's not a Christmas picture but I'll share it anyway.

I got Harley 2 new stuffed squeaky toys and a rawhide bone for Christmas. He's so funny when he gets a new toy. He jumps around playing with it like it's alive. He likes to mouth it all over. However, eventually he starts to chew. I'll have to take a picture before he chews off any body parts. I try to find ones with as few appendages as possible. Last year (his first Christmas) I gave him a fish with small fins. I didn't think there was much to chew. In five minutes it had no fins. You should see his frog. It's so funny looking with just a head and body. We should have a thread where people share pictures of their dogs' toys.
