Visits with Friends

So my good friends Karen and Joey stopped by our house to say good bye as they departed for California and Karen's new job in the wine business. Katie and Shannon stopped by and we all enjoyed some company and visiting on the front porch. The pups were locked in pup jail in their room and the yard because of the food and wine around. They behaved pretty well during that time.
Here are all the visiting couples:Karen and Joey (newlyweds)

Katie and Shannon (engaged!!)

Us (oldly weds)



After Katie and Shannon took off, Joey finally got to relax and do what he wanted to do which was watch the final four basketball game. And Tyco finally got to do what he wanted to do which was relax on the couch and make love to Joey as much as possible.
First Tyco jumps on the couch and makes himself very happy with rubs from Joey. Notice the Smile on Tyco's Face

Next, as Joey slows down to actually watch the game, Tyco institutes the now infamous "rake technique" where he uses razor sharp claws and brute force to rake the person who has slowed down in petting him. At least he didn't get bare skin, but the belly is a soft spot to be takin' a rakin'


Akira also came around but as there were no treats to be had, she refused to smile for the camera
Akira again avoids the camera


The boys enjoying the game, well, at least Tyco is happy!
