Pico's new friend, Bibi

It has been around 2 years since we moved to the neighbourhood. The relationship between us and the neighbours are just "HI" type and we have never talked much.
But...... things has changed after Pico arrived. One of my neighbours, Lee is also a dog lover. He has a Border Collie cross named Bibi which is 6 years old. He noticed Pico and we have some talks about dogs. We even talked for 2 hours that evening!






Sometimes Bibi came to my house area, sometimes Pico goes over to theirs too.








Bibi might looks fierce but actually she isn't.
But she doesn't like other dogs go near to her food bowl. There was once greedy Pico approached the bowl and Bibi growled at him. Since then, Pico not dare to go near it anymore.

Wordless Wednesday #1

Rainy Day

Pico: I hate rainy days, can't go out to play. Sigh......






LemonTea: It doesn't influence my mood as I don't go out at all. It is cold and I quite like it.






LemonTea: Since we have nothing to do, lets's sleep together!






LemonTea: Oh no, Mummy! You saw I got so close to Pico?




The rain finally stopped......






Pico: Phew! Finally I could go out for a walk!







Pico: And then continue to sleep with LemonTea together.

Enjoyable life

LemonTea fall asleep on the sofa comfortably.





He really enjoys his life huh?!



Why both of the brothers like the sofa so much?
This is Pico version.





Our big boss in the house, Mr.Pico!

Morning Walk #4

Pico: Aww...... What a lovely morning! *YAWN*











Pico: I love my morning walkes with Mummy everyday.

Together #2

Here are some pictures of LemonTea and Pico taken together.





First picture of Pico and LemonTea taken together.




LemonTea is getting along well with Pico.
LemonTea's sleeping pose means relaxed.

What were you two watching?





LemonTea lied on the floor. Suddenly Pico lied down beside him and ready to sleep.
Next moment: LemonTea rolled on floor and showed Pico his tummy (it means relaxed)!
Why Pico looked sad? Actually he was about to sleep!

When I arrive home, LemonTea and Pico always welcome and greet me at the front door.
(LemonTea showed an unpleasant face, perhaps he was not in mood posing for a picture that time.)




Although Pico and LemonTea are getting along well but they still need to be separated during meal time. Not because they will fight but Pico is greedy in food and will eat LemonTea's.

Many people said that it is impossible for cats and dogs to get along well, not even living together.

Perhaps because of Shetland Sheepdogs are friendly to other animals, and perhaps LemonTea is a Maine Coon mix and Maine Coon is a dog-friendly cat breed, I am fortunate that they are getting along well.

The arrival of Pico made my dream of having both dog and cat together came true. And I really appreciate this a lot.
