Scruffy the Main Coon cat and Heidi the German Shepherd (ess) relaxing on the couch.
Dogs and cats are known to be sworn enemies. This is not the case if they are introduced at the kitten or puppy stage.
Every night the dogs come in and have their tea and settle down with us. Some of the cats climb up their cat tree and go to sleep. Some even sit in front of the stove and some decide to reside on the couch or a human's favourite arm chair.
They all crash out and I light the stove and switch on the television and I pour a can of Guinness for myself.
The world outside is pitch black outside sunrise. No street lights in the countrysidenext to the sea. We have at least seven months relaxing in front of the fire:
It's very windy today. If the power goes we will watch the flickering flames dance in the stove and I have some scented candles to light if we need to.
That all sounds very cosy.
ReplyDeleteWho needs Portugal or Tenerife anyway???
Yep JayCee. Guess where we are going soon? Super Bock, Obrigado, Cerveja..?
DeleteHunker down and relax
ReplyDeleteYou live in whisky world GZ. 😄
DeleteIronic now, as with no-one to share a wee dram, I very rarely have one.
DeleteThat's a shame GZ. What's your favourite Scottish whisky? Mine is Dalwhinnie.
DeleteI never thought you would be a scented candle kind of guy Dave! Which scents do you prefer? "Lavender and Cypress", "Night in The Forest" or "Aroma d'Amour"?

ReplyDeletePerfect scented candle gifts for men. I would include "Irish Tarmac", "Ship's Funnel" and "Rugby Scrum".
DeleteTarmac smells good enough to eat.
DeletePerfect way to spend winter. It's what we spend summer working for.
ReplyDeleteIt will be your summer soon TM.
DeleteYou have a main coon, I would love one, hubby thinks they grow too big, our little Lilly is a small cat, they are beautiful. We have few plans for the start of the weekend, we are hoping by Sunday the storm will have all passed us by, luckily for us we only get the tail end of it.
ReplyDeleteYes but it's not mine Marlene. They are really cool characters.
ReplyDeleteCats and dogs are great companions for each other. Nice cosy evenings for you. I hope the coming storm brings no surprises.
ReplyDeleteThey are Jabblog. So many of us who live over looking the sea. Have built houses for the view. I wish we had built a underground room to go in during storms.
ReplyDeleteIdyllic!. A peaceful way to spend long cold dark nights. You have everything you need, animals, fire, good Guinness, a companionable knitter next to you perhaps and a tummy full of leek and potato soup
ReplyDeleteOur four legged friends are quite content to snooze in front of the fire Linda. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Dave. I just remembered.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel. Ronnie O'Sullivan, Little Richard and me all share the same birthday yesterday. That's where the bottle of Jameson came from. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA perfect way to spend an evening. I miss having a dog. X
ReplyDeleteI have to have my animals Jules. Four legged friends.
