Andy continues to improve. He is much more playful than he was in February, when I learned he had high blood pressure and a heart murmur.

When not taking on a savage folded piece of paper, he was defending his territory against the big usurper, brother Dougy! You know, that Adrian Smith mailer that still attracts both boys.

Andy defends the mailer against Dougy, who wants it, too!

Dougy left the room. Well, he ran from the room with his smaller brother chomping at his tail! Andy’s back in charge of the mailer. Of course, now that Dougy’s out of the room and doesn’t want the mailer (for the moment), Andy’s not interested in it either.

Time to check the back yard for birds on the bird bath!

No birds. Andy left the room to check the rose bush by the north bathroom window for birds. The human opened it this morning in case Andy wanted some excitement…and Dougy wasn’t there first.
