This post shows peaceful pets at rest in our home. Yes, they can be very active, but these pictures focus on their time asleep.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

Our cat, Motor, was very happy to see I bought a new dog bed. He was the first to try it out.
In this picture, Motor is doing his best imitation of a waterfall. Kitty can’t bear to watch this cliffhanger.
She likes to sleep on top of the warm computer tower. Sometimes Kitty sleeps so soundly she rolls right off.
This is the expression she gave me when she learned I bought a new camera. I think she was less than thrilled.
Our peaceful pets get along well. Tesla and Kitty sometimes sleep on the same bed.
Kitty is a Pixie-Bob cat. This breed is known for its “dog-like personality.” She’s taking that part a little too seriously in this picture.
Kitty, like other Pixie-Bobs, loves to play fetch. Pixie-Bobs can also be trained to walk on a leash.
Tesla, the dog, gives a big smile as she rests in front of Tesla, the car. Like her namesake, she can run fast and last a long time on a charge.
Our new dog is named “Shelby.” Both of our dogs are rescue dogs. Tesla is in the process of showing Shelby how to be a dog.
After that lesson, she got the hang of it!
I think sometimes the best training is to rest.

Wow Siobhan, your pets are living the good life! Obviously they love each other and co-exist beautifully. And they are ALL adorable! Never heard of a "dog-like" cat but sound intriguing! Good for you for rescuing - nothing better!
Thanks. Yes, they do get along well. It is rewarding to give a shelter pet a home!
I hope you do okay with the stormy weather approaching. Fingers crossed.
🤞🤞
Wonderful to read about your pets get along and happy. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos with us. :)
You are welcome! 😄
shelby is a cutie. awesome pets btw
Thanks! Pets help make us complete, imo.
A great family! Love to hear how well they get along as well. And I can tell you, that I have a cat-like dog instead! Totti acts like a cat in every way and has always done. We use to say he was a cat in his first life.
Sending treats to your family members ♥
Totti sounds like he is an interesting dog!
Haha, he is. It took him two years to understand he had a tail. And he moved it softly like a cat.
A special dog! One of our current dogs is three years old and still chases her tail!
Haha, well, they never really grow up, do they? But that is the charm of it.
Excellent!
Thanks, John!
Very sweet! I love the top photo of the kitty!!
Thanks! He liked the dog's new bed a lot. ;)
Great pictures!
