My Pets, Gabby and Henry
This week’s blog topic is the easiest yet, thank goodness because as this posts, I’m gadding about London doing research for two historical series ideas, one early Victorian, and the other WWII.
So without further ado, and starting first with the last, here they are:
The Blonde Bombshell
Here she is reading Anne Cleeland’s book for the Fall Back in Time Twitter/FB event.
This little girl was dropped off at the Humane Society in Gallup, New Mexico with her puppies. She was barely a year old (we think). She wound up with Animal Friends rescue in Prescott, Arizona. One of the board members there happens to be our niece, so from Prescott, Gabby came to live with us.
She’s devoted to her food, her walks, and my husband, in that order, though I’m the one who usually takes care of those first two items!
Mr. Cool
This is Henry. When he was about eight months old he showed up days in a row at our family room and banged on the screen door, disturbing my husband’s television watching. That would be the husband who swore we’d never have a cat.
And on the third day, my husband opened a can of tuna. Ten years have passed, and Henry has made himself comfortable with us. 
This is his usual role, although he’s been known to bring down an occasional morning dove or fruit rat (fruit rats are like California squirrels, although now we have regular squirrels also).
He’s brought in some pets of his own, a collection of lizards, and once a live mouse. Thank God he sleeps so much.
He does rouse himself for occasional lap time, and like Gabby, his first passion is his food. 
Henry’s interest in literature has led to a featured role in a free anthology that I’m a part of called Cats on the Keyboard, Real Life Stories from 14 Historical Romance Authors.
Peaceful Cohabitation
We have the occasional cat-swipe-in-passing, or puppy-growls (usually over food), but for the most part, these two live together peacefully.
Well, more or less, LOL!
This is a blog hop so follow along with my fellow MFRW Authors as they discuss their pets.

I love the story of how your cat chose your family. Very sweet.
I envy you that you have such, I’m planning to have more pets in my home for more love <3

Love how Mr. Cool just decided he was moving in by continuing to show up. My in-laws work with the AZ Humane Society. We are a rescue family so loved the post.
Once upon a time, a furry dog came into our backyard and went right up to my husband (ex). He stayed for sixteen years and brought us so much joy. Blonde Bombshell and Mr. Cool.
Love it. I bet you miss Gabby and Henry while you’re exploring London! Enjoy your time there.
What new pet are you going to pick up and bring home from London? Maybe an English Bulldog? Or a Baskerville Hound?
I love the pics!
Very adorable pets, Alina! Thanks for sharing.
To paraphrase James Bond, never say never. When a cat wants to own you, he will wear you down until you give in. I love the way we feed them, care for them, walk them, and the cat prefers the spouse.
Awww, so sweet! I enjoyed reading about your cuties (also, thanks for the free book!).
