Sights, Scents And Sounds From The Weekend

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that this promises to be the least productive workweek in America this year.  The Fourth of July is Thursday which means that many people have off Wednesday and Friday which means that people will want to leave early from work
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that this promises to be the least productive workweek in America this year.  The Fourth of July is Thursday which means that many people have off Wednesday and Friday which means that people will want to leave early from work on Tuesday which means that right now I know plenty of people who are spending today waiting for Tuesday to get here! A long holiday weekend means Eko and I have a lot of fun to look forward to, so we decided to take it easy this past weekend.  Nevertheless, even when we’re not out on an adventure, fun stuff is bound to happen.  Take for instance Eko’s close encounter of the furred-kind.   Pet adventure, dog blog, marking our territory, pet photos

Out on our afternoon walk, Eko caught a glimpse of this pensive feline.  I expected the cat to dash off at the sight of Eko, but the little guy only yawned

Only a thin screen separated the two, but the feline was unconcerned with Eko’s sniff test

Are you real?

After a bit of a staring contest, Eko and I headed on our way and left stoic cat to continue to ponder the meaning of the universe.  My bet is that our feline friend was an older cat and therefore long past the point of being bothered by passing pups

Emily and I grabbed food at a couple different places this weekend and I found further evidence to support my theory that pub owners are dog lovers.

I wasn’t looking for a shot with my lunch, but I plan to try a Bad Dog next time!

A good beer to support good people and good dogs – I’m in!

And as often is the case, we ended the weekend by kicking back and watching a movie.

“Oh no, this part is too scary, I can’t watch!”

Eko nixed the idea of painting ourselves like the American Flag on Thursday, so now our first order of business is to find some patriotic outfits for our holiday trip to the beach!

    Your laid-back weekend brought me a lot of smiles – I love those photos of the Eko-cat encounter! And that last photo is just too cute. How great that Gaslight is supporting such a good rescue; I don’t like beer, but I’d have bought one anyway! 🙂

    Have a fun week! Don’t spend too much time on those cats. Cats are odd creatures and unless they live with you, they are only useful when you need something to chase! Well, sometimes I chase mine in the house too but that is a whole different story!

  3. Will you know I love ya but hate to burst your bubble….we have a cat and a dog…they are both 6 yrs old…….we got Dakota (our dog) 3 months after we got our cat. From the day Dakota entered our home, our cat, (Cody) was unflappable. He remains unflappable to this day 🙂 That being said, they are the BEST of friends and truly love each other and play with each other every day. Cats look at dogs in disbelief because cats march to their own drummer 🙂

  4. I can’t wait to see the 4th of July outfits! Awesome.

    Love and licks,
    Cupcake

    That is a strange cat. Every cat I’ve met when I was outside ran away from me. What do you do with a cat you can’t chase?

  6. Maybe the kitteh has lived with dogs and wasn’t worried about Eko.

  7. Sage says:

    Even with two cats at home, Sage is a little wary of the ones found elsewhere. Especially when we run into one that’s a bit agressive! Hopefully, Eko doesn’t have that experience!

    You are so right about the un-productivity of this week! Have a great 4th, Will!

  9. I can’t imagine anyone being afraid of Mr. Eko. What a sweet face!

    When my boys were just babies, we wanted to decorate the stroller, but all the red, white and blue streamers were sold out. Then I hit upon the idea of using pre-made curly ribbon and low and behold, ended up with unique, affordable and reusable independence day decor. If you come up short, head to the gift wrap aisle and remember you heard it here. 😉 (the cat told me to tell you)

  10. I would still stick on this window for the whole eternity ( or till the kitty had a better idea). I always stop on this place where I met a kitty on christmas 2011. I’m sure you will find the perfect outfit for thursday!

  11. Underestimating the kitties is a mistake, Will and Eko! I once had a cat (that was extremely mild mannered) that chased a big Lab out of our yard… a quick swipe across the nose with those dagger claws is all that’s needed! Of course, Eko is too nice for that to happen 🙂

    Very clever fundraising ideas! I can tell that you definitely live in a dog-lovin’ community! 🙂
