Morning Walk

Early morning, the sky is clear, and the air has that crispy feeling to it, signifying that winter is not far off. I stumble out of bed to wake up kids and pup, and take out pup for a walk. I love early morning walks.



Every morning, at least one of the kittens joins us. They sit in front of Giant, doing the feline equivalent of 'Nah nah nah nah, nah nah!' right in his face.



They taunt, they stride, they follow, they lead. They look disdainfully at anything Giant does.



They never are far away, flitting in and out of his reach like a bee trying to find the best pollen.



If Giant dares to get too close, a warning gets issued. 'Don't invade my space!'



I guess all this can be counted as socialization, right?
