Christmas Day

Christmas day in the Paxton house hold and yes the animals got presents too.

Joy, Ian sister sent them both a present and here they are enjoying them.

Laxey, the cat, got a catnip bag in the shape of a mouse and tried to get into the wrapping before we could stop him. A picture here shows him playing with it.



Cubie got a rawhide Christmas card. As he was a year when we got him and he has always lived outside he was not used to getting presents. At first he just looked at it and did not think he was allowed to have it. A little while later and he realised just what it was for. Here is a picture of him making sure we knew it was his!

I took some video of Laxey chasing and playing with his catnip toy and I will upload some here when I get it out of the camera.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Look I'm sitting up.

Yesterday Laxey was sitting on my knee asleep.

He then got restless and ended up as you see him in this picture, he did not even move when Sue went for the camera. I think he was trying out sitting like a human.

Today we got Cubie our dog. We did not know how they would react to each other but Laxey stayed away at first but was curious like all cats are. Here I think he is asking himself "Is that a dog ??" Cubie did not know he was there until he got close and looked up, then got a shock.

Here is a picture of Cubie in a typical pose.

Now Cubie has decided it is fun to have a cat around and he wants to play with Laxey. The main trouble is Laxey has only known dogs to chase him and see him as a meal, so while he will get close he does not want to trust the dog. Poor Cubie now barks and tries to get Laxey to play but Laxey is having nothing of it. They need to sort out their differences and decide who is boss.
