Up until this past spring, doggy daycare was part of our weekly routine. Then Delilah had a little fence fight, finances got tight and we stopped going.
Lately I’ve been sending them randomly, mostly when I know I won’t have a chance to walk them. 
Normally when I pick them up from daycare they are waiting at the gate for me, but yesterday I surprised them a wee bit early. They were in crates, resting. Jumping up and rushing out only when they saw me.
Little stinkers.
That was the first thing I noticed. The second thing I noticed was the other dogs, lots and lots of dogs.
It was like a scene from 101 Dalmatians, except there weren’t 101 and they weren’t Dalmatians.
The next thing I noticed was Sara had a cat on the grooming table.
Wait a minute! Really? A Cat?
Yes, that is a cat on the grooming table.
Like you’ve never seen a cat before?
A cat. On the grooming table. Calm and cool amidst a sea of calm and cool dogs.
Cool and steady wins the race.
A cat, unrestrained on the grooming table. While dogs meandered here and there, and neither species bothered the other.
I know how my dogs react to cats and I was surprised at how cool that cat remained with all those dogs around.
But as they say, truth is stranger than fiction.
Have you ever seen an interaction between different species that make you shake your head in amazement?
Evil, evil cat. I bet he was planning on infiltrating the pack. I bet he asked her to clip him like a poodle so he could slink in and wreak havoc.
Oh my gosh Toby, I never thought of that!! You may be on to something, they are sneaky little creatures.
Yeah – you always have to think of the worst case scenarios with those evil kitties. They are nearly as bad as the TREE.
My cat once scared off a big dog who had jumped over the six foot fence while my dogs came to get me. Whatever her body language was, it worked.
Yes, actually she is somewhat evil, why do you ask?
LOL somewhat evil? I imagine a puffed up cat would scare me off as well.
An amazing cat, being so calm amongst all those dogs!
It surprised me that neither cat nor dogs seemed bothered by the other.
Cool cat!
I didn’t know that cats needed to be groomed! The poor thing looks like it’s going to freeze to death, now that they cut all her fur off.
LOL I’m not sure why the cat was in there being groomed. Perhaps they shave her in the beginning of fall and let the fur grow out over the winter?
That’s a cat who knows he’s the boss…
No sh*t.. LOL
My old man would probably be like that but the other one, NO WAY, he would be heading for the hills…lol
Are you and the groomer certain it was a cat? Mazzie would have caused the biggest commotion every the moment that cat got near the door, much less when it got put down on top of a grooming table for all of the dogs to see.
My dogs would have been all over that cat. Their prey drive extends to any small furry creature. Nestle gets a pass from all but Freighter. Thunder and Storm are used to her and mostly ignore her. Freighter, well that is a topic for a blog post. lol
