Critters

I don't know how it happened, but once again I am sharing a home with nine animals.

This is Dusty the dog.


Dusty apparently has no problem being dominated by any of the eight cats, who quite literally walk all over him. Sample culprits below.




Not shown are the three black cats that apparently come in tall, venti, and grande, with an inverse degree of shyness. Feral cats in the Virgin Islands are called "bush cats". While Trap-Neuter-Release programs may actually worsen the problem on the mainland, they make all the sense in the world on a 9- by 5-mile island, where there's no further supply of felines to move in and take over the neutered kitties' territory. The St. John Animal Care Center works hard to care for the island's bush cat population.

Whereas these guys don't know the meaning of hard work:
