We also have a male brown tabby with a stub tail who thinks he's a dog. He loves his belly rubbed and likes to lick ALL THE TIME! My cheek gets worn raw from him. <br /><br />They started off at odds and now get along quite well other than the occasional power struggle!<br /><br />Good luck with them all!<br /><br />SueSusan Anne Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258093329143787876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-30365478722146263222009-10-18T13:17:10.197-07:002009-10-18T13:17:10.197-07:00Eileen: May the Lord bless you as you try and brea...Eileen: May the Lord bless you as you try and break up the fights. We have four cats, and the older female cannot stand the youngest male--she resents him living in her universe!<br /><br />As to unconditional love, mine is tested every day. My husband has a teaching gift, and loves to EXPLAIN things in minute detail. I already know that kangaroos are marsupials and Brazil is in South America, but he remains impervious to the fact that he is sharing knowledge I already own. <br /><br />I chose to pray for friends he can explain his every thought to, rather than that I'd grow in patience. God gave him a great bunch of guys at a mens' Bible study, but he continues his teaching to me. Oh well. I get to practice unconditional love, eh?Jeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-36246612073996456372009-10-17T21:35:24.347-07:002009-10-17T21:35:24.347-07:00Hilarious!

My wife couldn't even get in to get it and had to call me. Funny thing, the dogs never touched the package - neither would let the other get to it. Thought of doing a blog post about this myself!<br /><br />Really like your def of unconditional love.Warren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-24007887483961905572009-10-17T13:52:26.974-07:002009-10-17T13:52:26.974-07:00Eileen:

Best wishes for a "truce" among your pets.<br /><br />I guess my last battlefield would be the mini one(s) we waged against our 3 teenagers. My husband and I make a great united front and that is what it took on some days. Because we "stood our ground" our challengers soon gave up the fight. We are all in the same platoon now that they have gotten older.LOLAva Walker Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968305681481056689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-80438595927616353042009-10-16T09:50:22.548-07:002009-10-16T09:50:22.548-07:00Oh, my!
