Simple Gifts - a moment with Pal and Bogart

Now that we've found a name that sticks I've updated this from Gaucho to Bogart. 

Pal is a cat. He is not the brightest cat I've ever met. In fact, there are times that we wonder whether he might have been deprived of oxygen during birth as he sometimes does some very strange things. His antics are entertaining though and living with him is a gift for he truly is the most loving cat I have ever met.

It does not matter the species. It does not matter the differences. Pal wants to be friends with every creature he encounters.

Today, little Bogart was feeling a little forlorn. We still need to keep him seperated from the other dogs. He is very young and recently weaned so there are all sorts of securities and comforts that he no longer can rely upon. Also, he is in an entirely new environment that he still is learning to negotiate. Pal seemed to understand all of this.

Bogart plopped down next to Pal on the dog bed.

He snuggled down, got really comfortable, and went to sleep.

Pal laid quietly with little Bogart while he took a long nap. I have no doubt that they will become fast friends. Pal has a history of that with boxers.

I think Buddy would be pleased that his beloved Pal has a new friend with which to snuggle.
