We have had Marley, the cat since we first moved away to school together back in 2001. We both loved cats, and since we didn't have one at home, we decided that we needed one when we went away. Bob bought Marley also to keep me company, since I lived alone...well at the time. Marley is a very unique cat. He thinks he is either a human or a dog...cant quite figure it out...he just definitely doesn't think he is a cat. For example, he loves water, he follows you to wherever you go, and talks back to you, and he annoys you to death when you are sleeping and he thinks it is time for you to get up. Did I mention that he bites too? Yes, this cat bites everyone and everything! Don't get me wrong here, this cat can be the nicest cat ever, until he decided to just snap...it is kinda like he taunts you, then will get you to pet him, then...snap...he bites! Thank goodness he doesn't have front claws! Anyways, he has been the King of the house...up until about a month ago, when baby Kona, the dog came along.
Kona is about 12 weeks old. He is a yellow lab, and is growing very fast!!! When we first brought him home, Marley didn't really care...he sniffed him, and walked away. Kona sniffed, and was completely scared! Once Kona got used to the fact he had a new home, and became comfortable, he decided it would be fun to chase Marley! Marley asks for it though half the time...he will walk up to Kona, stare him down, and then run! Kona will then chase Marley, barking and barking and barking at him. Yesterday, Kona pinned Marley to the ground! Marley got in one great hit ( Marley has the strongest punch I have ever seen ). I ran to...believe it or not...Marley's rescue! I really think that Kona just wants to play, but I don't think he realizes he who he is messing with!
Having a puppy is the craziest thing we have done. I love the dog to death, and he is so cute, but what work!! I mean this is a lot of work. I have to have eyes on him at all times so he isn't biting something he isn't suppose to, or running off to pee. He is pretty good at going to the door...unless we are at Holly and Jason's house...then of course, I say...he has to pee, and Bob says, he just went...all while the dog is peeing on their brand new carpet!!! In the mornings, he goes completely crazy! Runs all over, biting everything, including me!! I usually take him for a walk in the morning, and then play fetch for a while. He will then sleep, and I will try to get some things done around the house! That is until Marley so quietly walks up to Kona, sniffs, and then here we go....World War 10!!!! It is very interesting!!!
We are getting used to having a puppy, and before we know it, he will be old enough to be left out of the kennel when we are gone, and wont be as hyper and crazy! Marley will never change...but I am ok with that...he has personality! Our neighbors told us that a puppy is harder work then a brand new baby!!! I guess we will have to wait and see!!!!
