Taira and Patches

Cimbi is the BIG BOY in our family, no question about that. But he has two buddies of whom not much has been spoken yet. Taira is our shi-tzu girl, she is already 9 years old and she was Cimbi's playmate when he was a puppy. They love each other but Cimbi is now too big  and though he plays softly, he is too much for Taira. But Cimbi is lost whenever he meets a tiny dog, he thinks that every tiny doggie is a good pal. Taira is getting old and she prefers to sleep in the warm room instead of playing outside with Mr. Snowman.
Patches is our cat, a big fighter who grew up together with our late Great Pyr and he is not afraid of any dog. He used to terrorize the neigbour cats and dogs but he is already 10 and his golden years are slowly over. Cimbi likes him and likes also to chase him, lol.
