Sock trying to enjoy a sunny afternoon while worrying that his human may actually follow through with the idea of going for a run instead of a walk this afternoon.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Fyero has a sore hip today so we've implemented the cat taxi service (for the stairs) all heating pads have been set to low for her comfort.
I'm waiting on a call back from the vet but hopefully we can get her something to help ease some of her discomfort.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Week 10's theme was "Rough" and this is my old ratty 61 year old Lambretta sitting in the garden in the same spot for the best part of 2 years.
Again, shot in IR 850nm and very much a snap as opposed to a decent photo. But it meets the weeks challenge and so I'm happy.

I had two quite different looking photos I couldn't decide between, so I took some more pictures and created this, which is sort of the love child of the two first ones.
We had our first bit of sun of the year here today! ... I might as well move to Alaska. ;)
(3/12 For Elsie-cat)
A new variation on leapfrog... Elsie cat (and sneaky shadow-cat) jump over Barney-dog. Last week, I was trying to find a way to get Elsie jumping predictably, so I could take action photos... Turns out, she's quite happy to jump repeatedly from a stool to a table - so long as I put out some really tasty food in a bowl on the table, as a reward. Barney was initially banished from the garden while I photographed Elsie but he squeaked so pitifully from inside (the camera shutter works the same as a clicker for him - he knows it means treats and fun!), that I let him join us and made use of him as an obstacle. Last week, Barney was, at times, a little unsure about whether he was OK with being jumped over by a temperamental cat and it took quite a bit of patience to get Elsie to make the leap.
This week, we tried again and both participants were much better in their roles as obstacle and athlete :) Barney held his nerve, stayed very still and smiled for the camera. Elsie was almost too keen - she definitely remembered the "training" we did last week - the instant I sat her on the stool, she wanted to take off, which made getting even a halfway decent shot of her in flight rather difficult. Half the time, she'd be leaping before I was in position with the camera. Attempting to take action shots of an independent kitty cat was entertaining but reminded me that having a model like Barney-dog, who happily stays until told to move and jumps on queue (not two seconds before, or 3 minutes after being asked!) is really rather handy when it comes to taking photos... .
It was a fun little session and I was pleased that Barney and Elsie got on so nicely throughout. Although I've technically had Elsie longer than I've had Barn, they lived separately until quite recently - Elsie at mum's, Barney with my dad and step-family. Barney's great with cats and has been extremely gentle with her, but Elsie is taking a while to trust him. It's coming though... she's definitely less grumpy interacting him these days, more relaxed and friendly. They've even started conspiring to take my own bed off me, happily stretching out within a few inches of each other and not leaving much room for the human!
*To those over on ipernity, sorry - I know this shot is very similar to last week's over there :)
