Wolfgang Isis

These are my furry roommates.  The human ones I don't have a picture of.  Hopefully we will all be free of fleas soon.

Wolfgang (the dog) is sitting in the corner where his doggy bed used to be.  I suspect that when the whole flea issue came up, the bed was tossed out since it is a potential source of housing for said fleas.  He also makes himself at home on the smaller of the two couches now and then, though I'm going to try to break him of it.  Wolfgang likes to play fetch and works very hard to be an efficient food disposal.  He greets me by the door when I come home.  Sometimes he stands too close to the door and gets his nose whacked when I open the door.  If there are strangers with me or strangers at the door he hides in the back of the house.  Pity.  He looks ferocious.  He answers to wolfie, gang banger, wolf and hey you!

Isis is a very affectionate cat.  She's very aware of just how beautiful she is, so you don't need to tell her.  She will actually come to you if you snap your fingers.  Don't tell her it's more of a dog thing, it's working for me.  I made the sad mistake of leaving one of my afghans out on the couch (which she is lying on in the picture) and now it has become her property.  It's much softer than the couch, which I don't think I'll be able to break her from getting up on.  She is also the back up food disposal, though she only disposes certain foods.  She answers to Izzy, beautiful, and you too!

I also got the third roommate last weekend.  His name is C and he's a 30ish finance graduate from Stanford who is working in the bay area.  I've only seen him in passing, but he seems like a nice guy.  So, two nice human roommates and two nice but flea ridden furry roommates.  Life could be worse.

    SW - One of the roommates is the one who owns the rental contract on the home, as well as the pets.  It's a three bedroom home, with the roommate/landlord using the detached garage as his room.  We have a spare room.  So far it's all good.

    The animals are certainly adorable and they look so joyful, at least the  dog. . Yes and the cat so affectionate. If your human roommates are half as nice as they are you are really lucky. Good luck Uniquely with your new home.

    skald - I am very lucky to have found a home with such good company.

    uniquely:  I love your furry roommates!  That's the main thing missing in my new apartment.  Can I move in with you?   :)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 05, 2007....
    kruuyai - you're welcome in my home any time.  Yes, pets are like the flavoring to life.

    i like the cat... she has this look that makes here reminds me of a prima donna!... i am glad the fleas are gone, those bites can sometimes take time to heal.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 05, 2007....
    sweet - Izzy is the queen of that afghan and no one messes with her.  The bites are healing, but we still need to keep diligent on the sprays and treatments.

    Wolfie is rather regal looking and Isis certainly has that queen of the house air about her. They're both beautiful.

    Unique......your four leg roomates are really beautiful....

    my dog is doing the same thing that Wolfang does ...when i open the door he is always there with his nose against me...but he is a lot more fiercely territorial of the house and us so he barks to people ....and this works  very good for me.....

    Isis is a real beauty.......yes, better dont tell her about he snap finger thingie...lol..

    And you are right.,,,,.it could be worst....:-)

    Oooh! Cute!!! I especially like the kitty :) She's very pretty! A chocolate point Siamese? She looks almost just my old cat Snickers! Awww.....I miss Snickers!

    I hope these pretty animals get their fleas under control though!

    thanks for the intro to your roomies! They are beautiful and despite the flea thing, I think they will add a lot of love to the house. Good luck there!! Mamie
  • ninjapirate said on Sep 06, 2007....
    Oh they're really cute and I love their names!  For some reason I never thought to use those names for animals, but I like it.  Seems like you have a nice place to live.

    I remember one year we had a huge flea problem.  Lots of sprays and treatments too.  We had them in our carpet.  There were so many of them.  If a flea got on my socks or pants I would try to spray it or kill it somehow.  Those things sure jump, and they are very hard and tough.  I stopped them from jumping to safety by putting tape on them.  Then I'd use my fingernails to smush them.  I had little strips of tape stuck on the furniture near me so I could grab one instantly upon seeing a flea, and tape it to whatever it was on.

    I forgot all about that.  But your post brought the memory back.  I bet those flea killing sprays don't do our lungs much good.

    Zayda - Wolfie is the picture of wolf pack beauty, and Isis is a beautiful brat.
     
    ginger - I love that at least someone is that happy to see me.
     
    nurse - I think she is a chocolate point, but don't know for sure.  I'm slowly getting the flea thing under control and they already seem happier.
     
    Mamie - My furry roommates are the best ones I've had, less my kids.
     
    ninja - I didn't name them, but their names are reall fitting.  Apparently the cat had a brother named Zeus, but he passed away.
     
    lfbno7 - I'm pretty sure flea bites are no good for me either.  I haven't tried the tape trick, but if things don't get better soon I'll add it to my arsenal of anti-flea stuff.
