Baby, Baby

Whoops!
Hey! You caught me in the midst of a nice long drink of water.
What?
You don't drink from the fish tank?
I'm so sorry for you-you're really missing something delish!

This is Ellie.
She's the new puppy I told you about last week.
She's an eight-week-old Labrador/Heeler/Alsatian mix...according to her foster family.
I say she's a Leaky Bucket! When she walks away from the water dish, she drips at least a third of what she tried to suck down all over the floor. She's also a little whiny and has weird breath.
So far, I'm careful to stay at least 2 feet above her at all times.


She does this A LOT!
Mom says she'd like to be sleepin' as much as Ellie does. All you mom's know what it's like having a baby in the house. And I'm not just referring to human babies. ANY baby is noisy, hungry, sleepy, and prone to effluvial outbursts from time to time, regardless of genus-species. And the mom's are always short on sleep.

Leeloo's opinion is self-evident.

23 Folks I LOVE To Hear From!:

I fear, gentle Angus, that I am a bit of a messy drinker myself, although otherwise really worth knowing if you're a cat!

Our next door cat, Basha, is dealing with a new pup in Fernant and, so far, things are going well. But Basha is an old paw at this sort of thing...

Woofs,
Tommy

We do pretty well on the water bowl as long as we aren't super duper thirsty. We can see there is a whole lot of change going on there. Ellie is BEAUTIFUL!!! And Angus, what is wrong with puppy breath? We hear some peeps would love to bottle it.

Does fish tank water taste like tuna juice? Ellie looks cute. Bet she doesn't waste as much water as the horses when they drink though. We have to stand back or we get a shower.

Katnip Lounge said...

Angus, we bet you could sell that fish tank water on eBay! You would make a fortune in Cat Treats.

As for Ellie, well, we're sorta in Leeloo's corner.

The Taylor CatSSSSS said...

Angus, you look so cute drinkin' from the fish tank. Hopefully you didn't suck up any pet fishies! :)

Ellie is a cute woofie. We don't know much about woofies, but she is very cute. Leeloo doesn't look too pleased!! MOL

Oh, Angus, Mommy says that she is delighted to be your Valentine. She would love some bikkies made with those wonderful paws of yours!!

That is very neat of you drinking water from the fish tank, Is the water great?

Cheysuli and gemini said...

I bet fish water tastes great. Do you taste any fishies too?

Khyra And Sometimes Her Mom said...

Based upon my experience with my khousins, Ellie must have some Golden Retriever in her - Khousin Harley rarely remembers to khlose the mouth after leaving the bowl -

I'll have to paw that Ellie about keeping woo under khontrol!

PeeEssWoo: Hey Ellie - whap 'em fur me PLEASE!?!

Danielle said...

Mmmmm...Does that water taste like fish?

Ellie is sure cute, but cuteness wouldn't really convince me not to wap her. :) I hope you can teach her kitteh respect.

The Island Cats said...

We wish we had a fish tank to drink from...

Cute puppy!! Glad she's at your house and not ours, though!!

Angel and Kirby said...

Leeloo's opinion is very obvious! Now what do you really think?

Max said...

Man, I'd like to drink from the fish tank but there's a lid on it...

Huffle Mawson said...

Teddy puts his paw in the water bowl when he is drinking. Freak.

Daisy said...

I have to admit that Ellie is pretty cute. Maybe she can learn from Tommy how to be an awesome kitty dog!

CatLadyDiary.com said...

well we bet Ellie smells better than a human baby anyways!

Clarissa said...

Hi Angus! Mom thinks Ellis is adorable but we aren't so sure. But are purring that everyone adjusts to each other.

Shaggy, Scooby and Scout said...

Our neighbor cat only drinks from the waterfall that aerates the fish tank water. They put down a dish of water but he doesn't seem to realize what it is.

Oskar said...
