Besides his best friend, Cher, Hummer enjoys the company of his two cat friends, Aubrey and Buttons. If he had his way, Hummer would cuddle up with them during naps and have them in the house with him at all times. He LOVES the cats. The cats, however, allow only limited appointments in the dogs' company. Aubrey lets Hummer come close and sniff and will tolerate his heavy breathing and large paws near her. Buttons will not tolerate the dogs at all and wishes they would leave her alone and go back in the house. These are outdoor cats. They come in when it's really cold at night, but in the summer they prefer the garden and stay within the confines of the yard. Aubrey is a gray/tan Calico and has 6 toes on each foot. She is really sweet and affectionate. Buttons is more of a Chartreuse/ Siamese cross and she is very aloof and self sufficient. They both have beautiful green eyes and are both at least 15 years old. I have never had to take them to the Vet other than when they were spayed. They are loyal and sweet and are a part of our family. Newfoundlands, when not swimming, carting, rescuing people out of an unfriendly sea, or looking gorgeous at the dog show, enjoy lounging with their owners, playing with other dogs, and enjoy the company of.... yes..... even Cats!
Ahhh cute little buddies you have there Hummer. We see those interesting looking creatures on our walks and have always wondered what the heck they were. They're very fun to watch scurry away when they see us walking toward them.
