What did your pet(s) do today?

[LeftWriteFemme]

Not my pet but it brought back warm memories of Boo Boo Jenny

Both my cats are my babies and were saved from bad situations.
Since I have had them, they have become quite happy and have created wonderful personalities.

Angel who will be 22 years old has begun collecting socks..lol She roams through the house speaking in a soft meow. And one by one brings in the socks and puts them in a pile. Then talks to them..lol
I think shes regressing and thinks they are her babies...IDK
But it is cute to watch.

Taquilla which is 5 in october is diffrently abled and very very lovable.
His talet is playing fetch.
You toss a bottle cap or rolled up piece of paper and he retrieves it and brings it to your feet.
This goes on untill you say enough usually.

[Bad_boi]

While I was out .Someone shut my kitty in my bathroom because the fire alarm was malfunctioning and we had to have people in and out and they didn't want her getting outside. Whoever did this forgot to let her out so when I got back she had peed on my floor >> Someone is gonna get a chewing out.

[MsBluem]

My goofy cat has moved her daytime perch from the space between my dish strainer and the wall to my stove. She had never once taken an interest and now I constantly have to move her. I don't know what to do to keep her off of there but I'm burning through way too many cleaning wipes now that she's made that her roost. haha

But better than her getting out of the house completely, no? :fireman:

[Rockinonahigh]

When I had cats in the house we has a kitten names Wickett,she was as sweet as she could be,then for some reason she started peeing in my sons house shoes.No matter where he hid them she found them then peed away.Being James had just come hove from the sand trap as he called it,it being Saudi Arabia he had been dusting all his shoes with Dr,shoels foot powder wich really cranks the kittys watch.So I bought some diffrent powder and she quit,I wish we had figured it out sooner cause she ruined a couple of pain of dress uniform shoes along with it.

[Hollylane]

Apparently, Chessie doesn't have a hearing deficit as I suspected. No habla Ingles, habla Español. :|

The kids are panicking. They do not like seeing the luggage. They have an unreasonable fear that they will be left without kibble, and pets. Luckily, their mother has planned for a house sitter, and no pet shall feel left behind, or the rumbly in the tumbly.

Every time I pack to go somewhere (we go away on weekends a lot in the summer), my dog follows the suitcase, wherever it goes in the house, until he is put in the car. He wants to make sure he is going with Daddy (he knows that sometimes he doesn't get to go...he does get to stay with Grandmom, though!).

[ruffryder]

She won't stop barking and growling at anything and everything/everyone that goes past outside. The lil shit. I'm gonna be gone from home for the next 5 days and I think she is gonna freak! I hope she's a good babygirl pup for momma. .

[Jesse]

Sadie officially learned to take a bow on cue today! She is way cute when she bows and she knows it too! lol It is super easy to teach because it is a play signal that dogs use to invite another dog or you to play, so the behavior can be captured and rewarded, then a cue is added once they have it down pat.

It looks like this when dog/cats do it:

Or like this when humans use it as a yoga move.http://i.ehow.com/images/a04/n7/88/pilates-modified-downward-dog-800x800.jpg




She learned another big thing today but it is in the realm of Service Dog training, and probably not a good fit for the pet thread, so I'll wait to share that in another thread so as not to deter this thread. I'd start a Service Dog training thread but thinking there is not much interest in that.

[RockOn]

The KKs are pouty faces tonight. I worked out back until 9:00 p.m. tonight. Came in, prepared 2 large bowls of Science Diet - the crunchy dry type. They won't eat. I know why. Yesterday after work I stopped at the grocery store on the way home. They had 2 for 1 steak special. I got 2 two pound London Broil steaks, cooked them as soon as I walked in the door. Their "steak picnic" made them so happy. Not happy now.

Pouty faces tonight ...

[lusciouskiwi]

My cat is in boarding. No choice since I don't have my own place at the moment and my ex's place isn't suitable for her. I hope she's ok and doesn't feel abandoned. :(

My employer put me in a King room at the hotel for the meeting. It's great but it feels strange not having the feline and the k9 taking up all the space.

[Chad]

Hi,

Well I caught a cold somewhere between Arkansas and home so my baby kitty has been following me around all day. I sit and she sits on me, I lay down and she lays on me, then I get on the computer and she sits next to the computer.

Does she think that I will kill over from a cold or what?

[ruffryder]

Our babygirl pup has been at nanny's for the last two nights. My babe picks her up tonight. We both can't wait to see her, get kisses, and play with her! I think we'll all be going to the park soon! :)

Since she came back she's snoozed a lot and I even took a nap with her yesterday on my day off. She's played and went for a ride in the car today to take momma to work and she even got some chicken for her treat. She's a loved babygirl. :stillheart:

[DaddyNik12]

silly dog , her name is baby, shes a brindle pit , she left a wet portion end of a raw hide bone in my shoe :( :|

[RockOn]

DaddyNik22,
Baby was sharing with you. LOL! I bet she is a beautiful dog. I love bully dogs.

I have two mixed bullies. My male, Kevin, is a golden brendle bully/mastiff mix, 107 lbs. He loves to eat and does so with much gusto.

Sometime back, I made them some macaroni and cheese. Kevin gobbled his up in record-breaking time. I looked over at him and he had one noodle on top of his head. That was so funny. They are both characters.

Enjoyed your post about Baby.
See you!

[WingsOnFire]

absolutely nothing but sleep!! LOL... That is all that Peppa does...

[RockOn]

Tonight after I fed Kelly and Kevin, I said last call to go to the bathroom. They both stood up on the bed, all charged up. I put my paper plate with my slice of pizza down on this little side table thing I built for myself. It is for when I eat meals in my bedroom. Anyway I got up, opened the back door and they ran out. I have been remodeling Fort KK Bully Pooch all weekend. (Made it much bigger and raised the roof so I can walk inside and not bump my head. Next, another window and looking into a sky light.)

Kevin always goes to the fort now, he is liking the expansion. He and I were in there and I realized Kelly is missing. This is not a good sign. She is incredibly sneaky and forever into something. Kevin and I came back inside. I found Kelly standing on the bed, leaning at a precarious angle, lips rolled up and had just sunk her teeth into the slice of pizza on the little table. I startled her. She backed away and pretended she had not been caught. Little pizza thief. I know her so well. She planned this when I asked them if they needed to go outside to the bathroom. I am certain of it!

A light sprinkle of parmesan cheese works for my goobers.

[Sweet Bliss]

Very stressful day ended with trip to vet. Staples to close 3 inch long gash in top of goober head, after a head shave, we are now watching her Marathon nap until the knock out drugs wear off.

Still don't know how it happened. Geezus. It's only Monday.

[starryeyes]

They all pottied outside! Yay! No accidents today. Whew! Moving them from a house with free rein to the backyard to an apartment has been a tough transition, but they are getting it :)

[Glenn]

I have'nt seen my wild Coyotegrrl in over two years until this morning. I met her during a cold winter when she was only a young and hungry pup. I talked to her, and trained her to eat beside the cats out of the same bowl, and come when called, and she even barked when strangers came, but she left again when it warmed up. I just saw her again this morning staring at me outside the house like a long lost pet. I called her name, and she looked at me like she remembered, and did'nt run! I just put a bowl of food out in the yard for my wild Coyotegrrl again..

[cinnamongrrl]

I don't want to talk about it... :|

Suffice it to say....I went to lay down and take a "nap" last night, left them to their own devices in the living room and 6 hours later......awoke with a start because the dogs weren't in bed with me. They were not at all put out though. They found LOTS of stuff to keep them busy.....lots and lots....:sigh:

[Hollylane]

Chessie and I just got back from the vet. His bottom was bleeding a little and I suspected an infected anal gland. Yep. He came home with pain meds, antibiotics, and some fortiflora. He shared some lovely scented air biscuits all the way home from the vet. http://fun.resplace.net/Emoticons/Sick/Sick1.gif

He has also gained 32 pounds. :| He went from 85 to 117 pounds. Good Dog, that is unacceptable. Apparently, the intestinal diet was incorrectly prescribed as the high energy type, instead of the low fat type.

When he goes for his followup appointment, the vet will be aspirating the tumor that is growing larger on his belly. I'm very nervous about the results of this. If it is bad news, it is bad. If it is good news, that means she is recommending surgical removal. I'm very uncomfortable with a dog of his age going under anesthesia. But I am hoping that is all I have to worry about.

[RockOn]

Hollylane, how old is Chessie? My vet did several surgeries on my little Hannah the last 3 years of her life to remove mammary gland tumors. Hannah lived to be 16 1/2 years old. Her very last surgery was at 16 years old. I think she would have made it a couple or so more years had she not developed excruciating pain in her back. I would not put her through back surgery and recovery at her age. I had to help her out and did the kindest thing I could do for her. Since Hannah's body was wearing out, in my vet's office, we gently sent her away from the pain.

I feel like you already know about this but want to mention it anyway. My vet used a special type anesthesia which is made for the geriatrics - of course more expensive but much safer.

I am wishing the very best for Chessie. And you too. I am sure you are upset and stressing about your furry- friend. Keep us posted on how he is doing.

[Princess]

I'll tell you what they did yesterday. Burtie Butt ran away, TWICE. He is like a kitty houdini. Thankfully with the help of Sponge's meow and the smell of my fried chicken I got him back home safely. I wish he would stop scaring me like that though. I understand his need to be free but I need him to understand I am an over protective mama!

Thank you for your well wishes for our Chessie. He is a 9 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Gaige and I were talking about being very careful about feeling out the anesthesia options available for him. Personally, I didn't know there was an anesthesia developed specifically for geriatric dogs. Thank you for the information, I'll be sure to ask about that at his next appointment.

Sorry about your pooch, even when it's the right decision, it is so hard to make.

[Bad_boi]

Snuck in my bed to sleep with me.

[Shay McGee]

My little guy screamed at me to feed him. He is so vocal sometimes that alarms me . I never should of spoiled him with wet pet food earlier in the week. I don't care if he is a big brat . I love him to death !

[girllikeu2]

I don't know how a 12 pound cat manages to sound like a herd of elephants running down the hall at 4 AM, but mine does.

[RockOn]

girllikeu2,
When I read your post, I burst into loud laughter. Thanks for sharing! The impromptu release was great!
:)

* Here is a perfect example of why I enjoy coming here and reading everyone's posts. Now the truth is out. My mission is not always entirely to seek out and annoy - only just mostly. ;)

[cinnamongrrl]

My poodle Jacques brought his woobie to bed with him for the first time ever... :)

[cinnamongrrl]

My dog, Cricket, has taken an....unnatural.... liking to my yoga mat. :|

[Bad_boi]

Shed on things and be cute to make up for it.

[Hollylane]

I don't know how a 12 pound cat manages to sound like a herd of elephants running down the hall at 4 AM, but mine does.

I have a 25 pounder that does this very same thing. His romping up and down the hall sounds like a herd of elephants, but his voice sounds like a lion. Especially in a silent house between the hours of 11pm and 5:30am.

[cinnamongrrl]

I caught my fish sleeping! :blink:

[cinnamongrrl]

My dogs shared my butternut squash with me! This bodes well, since I have a recipe for butternut squash dog treats I want to make them :) They are all natural and I can make them small for their little bitty mouths :)

[Bad_boi]

Freak out when I try to brush her tummy :(

[Butterbean]

I make Blossom and Rosie's food homemade and it is frozen or refrigerated. So, every evening I warm it up a bit in the microwave. I ordered little green
bowls that degrade properly. Plus I could get 600 of them for a reasonable price.

Well Rosie is right on that..every night after she eats her dinner she chews up the bowl and leaves little pieces everywhere except for the pieces she swallows.

Okay, Chessie had his follow up appointment today. The bum is fully healed, yay! The aspirated tumor is a lipoma, and is non-cancerous, YAY!!!!!! I will be scheduling him for the big scary surgery within the next few weeks, because it has grown from 3 centimeters to 9 centimeters in just the past 4 months. It is time for that thing to go!

[Chad]

Hi,

My baby kitty has an obsession with bacon so this morning I am cooking some bacon in the oven and she is following me all around the kitchen screaming at me as if she has not eaten in a week.

Yes, I give her about a half of a piece of bacon when I make it and she goes nuts for it.

I am sure the veterinarian would scold me for that but it makes her so happy how can I refuse her.

[Sweet Bliss]

Freak out when I try to brush her tummy :(

Tummy tumms are for rubbing not brushing, :|

her little nipples are under her fur...ouch!

[Bad_boi]

Had a dream I was running with a football under my arm and woke up laying on my back with my cat tucked under my arm against my side like a football.

[Sweet Bliss]

I was bending over wiping the bottom cabinets, and felt a cold nose checking out my rump, squealing I snapped my towel at Sophie behind me ...
She wasn't there ... it was the trash can. :|

[ruffryder]

our babygirl pup had some scrambled eggs and as always, gave us lots of kisses!

[TheLoneStranger]

They (2 kitties) take turns laying on me to sleep.

Let's just say......

One of my cats spent the last two nights sleeping on my pillow, curled up next to my head, snoring. Kind of sweet, kind of annoying. :blink:

(Watching thursdays episode of Greys Anatomy at this time)Well it wasn't today, but last Friday I was sitting on my couch playing fetch with my pup across the room with her rope toy. I'd throw it, she runs like crazy to get it, brings it right back and tries to put it in my hand and then pull away when I go for it. (So cute when she does this) I had previously tried a couple times to teach her to sit and STAY until I say go get it! Which has NEVER been anywhere near successful. But that day I figured I'd try again. So I get her toy from her and hold it up, she sits right down and lays down for it immediately, as always. Then the fun part, I tell her to stay. She cocks her head at me like hmm... So I fake throw it and she gets up and runs like mad. I go "Hey! Stay..." And show her the toy. Back at my feet she lays. I fake throw again. Same thing. Then back at my feet. Next time I fake throw she gets up and looks at me. But doesn't go. Down she lays. At this point I said "Good Girl" So now goes the real throw. She gets up, runs a couple feet. I say "Hey! Stay.." And she stops, looks at me, lets out a big grumble and lays down. You can't help but laugh here. So I go get her toy. She follows me back to the couch. Lays at my feet. I look at her and say Stay! 3 times. I throw the toy. And she doesn't flinch. I look at her and say stay... Sat there for about 30 seconds and then "Go get it!!" And she runs and brings it back! Here comes the love and scratches and a treat of course! All week we've been playin and she's perfect every time! (Back to Greys Anatomy) About 10 minutes later she's busy playing in the corner with her toy, and myself, a sometimes overly emotional person, crying like a baby over the episode of Greys Anatomy on the couch. Immediately she drops her toy, runs over to me and flops her head down on my lap looking at me with those incredibly cute puppy eyes. You could see the worry and love in her. This made me cry even more because my reason for getting her was my dad is ill and I was feeling pretty down and thought maybe a puppy would bring joy to all of us. At that moment I thought about how fun it has been to play with her and train her and teach her new tricks, and how proud I was when she learned them such as that one I had tried over and over and she just learned 10 minutes prior. I knew through all these crazy puppy stages :| and vet bills :| and everything we've been through in the last 10 months that this was exactly what I needed and wanted at this time in my life. Everyone thought this was a bit hectic of a time for me to get a Puppy but I know we are a perfect match and have made each others lives so enjoyable. #Proud/Happy Mama ;)

[princessbelle]

Bella and i watched a scary movie this morning.

She jumped worse than i did. Not sure if it was the sounds or maybe she felt my fear.

So we were like jumping beans with the covers pulled up around our chins peeping out watching ghosts with bad intentions.

Eeeeks.

:blink:

[Glenn]

It's been cold here and those eight furkids (cats) have been using me as a door-person 24/7. I wish I had a dollar for everytime I let one in or out. :vigil:

[cinnamongrrl]

The above mentioned Marley-like pit bull ate my favorite new highlighter..got my work folder out of my bag, but didn't disturb the papers within..took my shoes....but didn't chew them....and ate my toothpaste for the second time. She also rummaged through the trash....strew some of it in the living room and on the couch....and left nature gifts on the floor....I suspect this is all stress induced from being left alone....but it still sucks to come home to.... :|

[SimpleAlaskanBoy]

The doll faced Persian kitten we are fostering named Tater Tot woke up playing with my fingers and toes and jumping all over my bed.

[Rockinonahigh]

Today My fur kids dealt with the clippers to get a full clip job,now they look all spiffy and neat.Both are half Jack Russel but one is also half poodle and looks like one,the other is half snouzer and poodle mix for a dad but looks like a long haired jack russel with some real crazy wild hair.So when I got done with Rowdy I gave little bit a buzz cut,it was hr first all over cut she took it like a trooper.I on the other hand looked like I had been sheering sheep.

[Gemme]

Mattie makes the best butt warmer.

[ruffryder]

Mattie makes the best butt warmer.

haha. Our baby girl pup got under the blankets this morning and her butt was laying next to mine.

She's been playing and enjoying her new toy a pink reindeer. It's almost as big as her but she manages to carry it around.

[Rockinonahigh]

Finely I gave Little Bit's her very own pillow and blankie on the bed,she knows it's hers and loves laying on it,every night she gets on it then snuggles under the blanket.Now everyone has there own spot on the bed,Rowdy's pillow is at the head of the bed and I get the other half to sleep on,if Rowdy often gets under the covers next to me when ever she want's to.

[ruffryder]

She's been playing and enjoying her new toy a pink reindeer. It's almost as big as her but she manages to carry it around.

I've been wondering where babygirl's toys are. I think she hid them, all 10 of them. LOL Well, she went for a ride in the car today to take momma to work. We shall see what the rest of the day brings. I think she'll get one of her homemade gourmet pumpkin treats from Wolf Gang Bakery and we'll probably find her toys and play. :)

[Gemme]

Mattie got a new holiday stuffed bone and promptly removed that pesky stuffing from it. She still totes them around, once she guts them. If only she applied that same determination towards learning to cook or take out the trash. Then she would be unstoppable!

She also loves snow and had a ball playing around in it last night, as we were encouraging her to please finish up and come back inside, where it's not 15 degrees and snowing but she just romped and romped and you can't get upset when you have a tongue-lolling, ear flapping pup running rings around you.

[cinnamongrrl]

I confess...

I've started dressing my poodle...out of necessity. He's chilly since he was groomed...so my mom sent him a winter coat...and I got him a Carolina blue argyle (sp?) Sweater...people think he's a girl now but he is happy and warm so there :)

[Chad]

My cats slept, ate, drank the cool water and then looked out the window for me. :)

[SleepyButch]

My dog Murphy, went under this big bush in the yard, the bottom branches being right at the height of his back and started scratching himself. He was moving his back legs up and down and it looked like he was dancing. What a silly dog! Love that guy!!

[cricket26]

my daughters dogs now have halloween costumes (a bumble bee and a dinosour) and mr mighty mouse now has steps up to the bed...no more up and down on and off the bed and keeping his daddy up at nite :)

[Happyfemme]

My puppies have Halloween costumes one is a bumblebee and the other is Mickey Mouse.

[grenade]

When I was making halloween baskets they were sniffing around excitedly. I can't disappoint them. I'll have to buy more baskets.

[Blade]

Nothing yet. He has spent the night between my knees. He hasn't moved all night and Im not sure I'm going to be able to move when he finally does. I might be stuck this way. My roomie might have to hook a come along to my door and drag me to my feet.

Actually I'm not sure he is still living. He is never this still this long.

[cinnamongrrl]

My poodle made me feel guilty with his "you're not really leaving???" Look before work today...

[Kenna]

Since I got home after a long day out, my pup has misbehaved several times...resulting in me having to fuss at him because he's sooooo smart, I KNOW he knows better than breaking certain rules...


A few minutes ago, I sat back in the recliner, lounging on my left side with my legs folded over the chair arm...
My bad, rotten pup (who had just got in trouble) sat on the floor "asking permission" to jump up...when I allowed him up, I looked down at him and said "you better give me a hug!"....

He very promptly, very sweetly and gently laid the side of his face and shoulder on my chest and looked up at me...as if to say "I'm sorry momma, I won't pick on my brother anymore."...

He just melted my heart!!...it wasn't long ago that I taught him the "give me a hug" trick...he doesn't always do it, but tonight was the sweetest hug yet! ...I wish I would have taught him that years ago when he was a therapy dog.
He's too damn adorable and loves to get hugs as much as I love to hug him. He's always been a fluffy, very loving cuddle bug.

[Martina]

I have no idea what my cats are doing because they are in California, and I am in Florida. BUT, I just made arrangements for pet transport, and they should be here before Thanksgiving. Talk about something to be grateful for. I miss them so. I can't wait to see them chasing each other around their new home.

[Kenna]

My rotten pup is up to his bad antics again...
I had been cuddling with him on one recliner...got up to get something, went back to livingroom to find that he had stolen my fluffy bathrobe from the other recliner, pulled it to the big recliner, and was "fluffing it" to make himself a nest.

I was not happy (he needs a bath!!) but the look on his face was priceless!

[cinnamongrrl]

My poodle shared hummus with me...he LOVES it lol

[MsTinkerbelly]

Our dog is sitting thisclosetome, and has burrowed under my lap blanket.

Chilly morning here!

[MsTinkerbelly]

Kasey works from home, and has an office where she can close the door on my noise. Well, our cat sassy waits outside her door at 7pm and meows until she opens the door and leaves work.

Tonight, sassy started at 6pm, and when Kasey didn't come out she came to me and crawled onto my lap for a snuggle and to complain...because no one told her about the time change!

Got to love our babies!

[Sweet Bliss]

I rode my bike today... Sophie chased me the whole time.... and was worn out when I pulled into drive way. Great way to wear her out. Hee hee.

[cricket26]

the puppies are together again! :)


watching them play is better than tv!

[grenade]

Winnie pawed at my toes for attention. She does not accept an answer of no. She wears me down and I cave. Belly rubs it is.

I need to invent puppy listerine.

[cinnamongrrl]

my very young kitten, Lola Mia, finally recognized toys!

Up until now she has played with imaginary things....or my fingers/face.

Yay to no more bites and scratches!

:hangloose:

[cinnamongrrl]

I could post in here daily....

So ...today Jacques and the kitten (I haven't OFFICIALLY named her yet...I know...) were frolicking on the recliner....the kitten grabbed hold of Jacques and he jumped down, dragging her behind him....

I find it endlessly funny when cats fall...so long as they aren't hurt...she is no exception....

Both of them revealed to me today a love of pasta...they shared mine with me....who knew??

[girl_dee]

i found my pups hiding spot.. a whole pile of treasures behind the couch...

[JDeere]

My usually rotten and misbehaved dog, was actually nice to my folks, dog. Their dog hurt her back and my dog decided she would follow her around to make sure she doesn't have seizures or gets hurt worse when, we aren't looking.

During doggie breakfast, one little dog sat across the room, head hanging, avoiding eye contact, while the other two scarfed their food down. This let me know who had wet in the dining room this morning. I was cussing as I cleaned it up. Such a guilty pup! I told her even naughty girls get to eat and pushed her bowl over to her.

[Queenie]

My cat ed decide to rip off all the bows from the gifts I warped this afternoon!

[Rockinonahigh]

I was having a not so good dream last night, what woke me up was Rowdy girl licking my face then rubbing her head against mine.She knows how to take care of me when i'm having a bad night or just need a hug.

[cinnamongrrl]

My mother sent us a care package...

A warm, fuzzy blanket from our favorite local (in Massachusetts) blanket company www.berkshireblanket.com which has an outlet one town over from my hometown!

and a smaller remnant type blanket for Jacques...which she rubbed all over her own two dogs (one of which is Jacques' daughter).

Jacques was sniffing the box before I even got it open lol and he snuffed at the blanket sooo long. I'm guessing he's remembering his daughter and his pitbull friend <3

Kitten little did not get a present, except that she can share the blanket with Jacques when they cuddle. However, the box that all the stuff came in is keeping the kitten happy for hours...she is taking all her little toys (mostly balls of paper!) into her "lair" and...well...killing them I guess? lol

It's been great fun to watch all the merriment :)

[Daniela]

My cat threw up on my rug.

Heidi LOVES to ride on the floor of my scooter! Today she went on her first mall outing! She behaved so well. It is fun to just tootle along and watch peoples' reactions once they see her on it. There are several restaurants that are open air and allow her on patio. She sits in chair beside me, and is so well mannered. She usually gets a patty or wiener! I love taking her most every place we go. She loves loves loves to people watch!

[cinnamongrrl]

I TRIED to use Jacques as an ambassador. I was trying to catch a strayed dog (she had a collar but was skittish) but instead of signaling to her that I was a safe person to go to, he chased her down the street!!

NO treats for you! :confused:

[clay]

Heidi got to go sit out on patio by the water with us at a new restaurant we found! She sat in chair beside me and was so very well mannered. I love her so much!

[amiyesiam]

I was at work all day, but this is what Bandit did all day:
1. Climbed all over Corkey in bed.
2. Climbed under the covers with Corkey.
3. Pestered Corkey till he got up and fed her.
3. Looked out the windows.
4. Pestered Corkey to let her out on the porch only to come right back in due to cold.
5. Took a nap.
6. Slept on Corkey once he was up
7 Played with the christmas tree so Corkey would play with her
a. bat a tree
b. look at Corkey to see if he is looking
c. if he is not looking keep doing it until he does look
8 Played with outlet so Corkey would play with her
a, b, c see above
9 Played with curtains so Corkey would play with her
abc see above
10 scratched at Corkeys pants so he would put a blanket on his lap so she can sleep under it between his feet
11 ate
12 used the cat box
13 Slept on Corkey
14 Rinse and repeat 4 or 5 times a day

Contrast this with me
I get up and pet the cat
I make tea
I don't feed the cat if there is food in her bowl
I sit in my chair
Bandit sleeps in Corkey's chair
Occasionally I pet the cat
I get up for something, Bandit gets up and follows me
I finish what I am doing and sit back down
Bandit goes back to sleep in Corkey's chair

Bandit has one of us very well trained!!!
THey are best buddies!

[cinnamongrrl]

EARLY this morning...

I heard kitten little scratching. I thought she was in the cat box. But she just wouldn't stop! I shushed her and tried to get her to come back to bed. The noise continued.

I finally turned on the light and she had her lil baby paws in the (empty) water dish and was just digging and digging like a raccoon! She was born outside, so I don't know if she thought she could dig and make the water appear?

I filled it nice and full for her and she was appeased. I never have seen a cat who loves her water that much....

[starryeyes]

They are awesome. Like they are everyday.

[cinnamongrrl]

Kitten little has has suddenly taken to sitting on her back legs and boxing Jacques face. :|

Bless his heart... He tolerates it so patiently. And when he's actually feeling playful, he will either pin her or chase her...lol

[starryeyes]

Smudge was sick ALL day yesterday! We went to the vet last night and got some meds and fluids. Today.... He is pooping wads of paper! No wonder... :/

[nekohl]

9 years ago I rescued my boy Fruitcake. He makes me smile every single day.
:heartbeat: love of my life :heartbeat:

[cinnamongrrl]

Lola Mia will be the kitten's name...but I do tend to call her Precious....

Sooo...Lola has taken to playing with my feet and hands (and hair) while I do yoga. So now I have to fight off the ninja kitty while downward dogging....

She also plays fetch with a paper ball. I was laying on my yoga mat after doing my back work and she repeatedly brought the paper back dozens of times for me to throw to her lol. Her name really should be Spaz....

:eatinghersheybar:

[girl_dee]

She keeps shoving her old ratty Marty Moose at me.

[Daniela]

She's sitting and staring at me without blinking. I think she's trying to use mind control on me.

[CherryWine]

The kitty found and tried to eat a 6 inch piece of ribbon. I caught him with about an inch of it hanging out of his mouth. The rest he had already swallowed. I was able to pull it out, but this is no bueno as he has already had to have one abdominal surgery for eating some string that got tangled up inside him. He is obsessed with strings and ribbon. :sigh:

[cinnamongrrl]

Lola took it upon herself to knock the bathroom wastebasket on its side, take out the (empty) trash bag and proceed to use the trash can as her own personal amusement ride.

When she was done, she went and played with the empty bag; a big no no and she KNOWS IT!!

She's so damn cute....good god...

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny dog supervised while I baked Christmas cookies, wrapped presents and finished my last craft project gift. It wasn't a very exciting day for her, I'm afraid. She didn't even get to help eat the cookie mistakes because they are chocolate. However, she is dreaming now and unaware that Santa has filled her stocking, and in the morning she will have an abundance of toys and treats, and will get lots of loves and attention tomorrow.

[Jennabelle]

My cats rejected $140 worth of xmas presents. Next year I'm just going to give them an assortment of found objects: milk bottle caps, pen caps, pine cones, smelly green walnuts that fall from our tree, etc. They'd probably like those better than expensive laser toys anyway. At least they liked their special dinner.

LOL my tired brain thought for SURE you were going to say, "next year, I'm getting them a gift card!"

I woke up with my lovin spoonfuls cuddling me today....awww and they still are now. Sweet peas :)

[Jennabelle]

That is funny! But, Petco does allow pets in the store... so maybe that's not such a crazy idea to give them a gift card & let them pick out their own gifts. Then they can try out the toys in the store before purchasing. I'm sure Petco would *love* that. It would save me some trips though. :-)

[cinnamongrrl]

It's been a nearly non stop snugfest today!

Lola has not wanted to leave my chest (her spot, since Jacques gets my lap) ALL day except for some playing and eating time...I wonder if I should worry hmmm....

And Jacques is tuckered out from our scampering today....

Wondering what Lola will do when she gets too big for my chest hmmm....also wondering what she will do when she gets too big for the crook of my elbow! It's sooo cute how she makes a lil nest there...lol

[cinnamongrrl]

I know I know...I'm the crazy cat/dog lady now....

BUT

I decided to make a "treat" for the furballs today for Christmas, since it IS their Christmas too and it should be special....

SO the other day I bought some chicken hearts and gizzards....I didn't really know what a gizzard was...still don't really. I just COULD recognize the heart and deduced that the other "thing" was the gizzard...I don't know why I thought gizzards and giblets were the same...anywho...

Whilest I was frying them up in the pan, Lola somehow figured out they were a tasty treat for her. Not ONLY did she hold vigil with Jacques, she tried to jump up and climb the cabinet to get to the stove :blink: She has NEVER done this. Guess they smelled good...:confused:

The heart part came out nice and tender and cut it into pieces and the gizzards I could really only give to Jacques since they were...fleshier...I made a nice gravy and poured it over some leftover rice and put some nice pieces in for the tomcat I feed. Lola had her fair share and Jacques had a ton too. Full bellies all around :)

[Okiebug61]

Our bubbies and their sister were great today. They all got new collars from Santa and a USA made rawhide that they hid for later.

[Jesse]

Sadie played with her new babies...mostly that damn screaming gorilla! Lol!

You should try chicken liver,I boil them till tender but sometimes I fry them whatever way my girls go nuts for them,I limit the amount of fried food for both me and the fur kids.

[nekohl]

Fruitcake knew I wasn't feeling well today and never left my side. Such a good boy.

[JDeere]

They played with their new toys and hung out on the couch watching some animal planet channel

[RockOn]

played out in the fenced backyard most of the day ... came in mid afternoon, chewed on their loot from Santa ... later we three played on the bed ... I fed them their dinner, took a shower and left for an hour and a half ... came home to find that Jennifer worked over a comforter pretty well ... looked like it had snowed on the bed .... I scolded her since I caught her doing it ... walked into the bedroom and she had a wad of white fluff hanging out of her mouth ... Jennifer knows it is wrong but she is like me in that I don't think she can help herself. She is a year old so I imagine it will be another year for this to cease ...

Recently a friend and I were talking in a restaurant. We've been friends since the 1980s. The friend asked me about Jennifer. I told her Jennifer keeps a knot on her head or a cut on her face or head all the time because she is constantly the busy one and gets banged up a lot. My friend laughed and said, "No doubt she is your child." (say whaaaa?)

[Blade]

Smells like he found a skunk. I let him out while I went out. He didn't follow me back to the house. I called him and he didn't come so I thought he was doing his business. I came on inside and went back out a few minutes later and called him. He came up and ran into the house and jumped straight into Kenna's lap.

She yells get your dog off of me. He smells like he found a skunk.
OMG I picked him up and I don't think he was sprayed but he did have a funk about him that is unmistakable. I guess he walked threw where a skunk had recently sprayed.

He will be sleeping with his sister tonight, not with his Daddy.

[cinnamongrrl]

You should try chicken liver,I boil them till tender but sometimes I fry them whatever way my girls go nuts for them,I limit the amount of fried food for both me and the fur kids.

I was told by my vet not to feed my pets liver. The liver effectively functions as a filter for the body. It breaks downs toxins and disease in it's cells. Therefore, anything that animal had been exposed to right before its death would be in the liver tissue and thus expose your pet to whatever remnants lie within...

This is also why I won't eat liver myself...that and the taste...and the texture...lol

But I do appreciate the thought! :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Princess Lola has discovered how to jump in and out of boxes. I thought she was too small yet, but she has been an extraordinary jumper since I found her....and I don't think she was barely 6 weeks old when I did....my baby is talented :)

JACQUES...on the other hand....

Last night there was a ruckus on the deck. Turns out my stray tomcat brought his buddy around for a meal...:blink: Where as the tom is very quiet and never lets me know he's there, this ginger kitty was like come onnnnn where's the grub???

And Jacques never.barked.once. Good thing it wasn't a neighborhood marauder. I'd be one dead :rubberducky:

[Daniela]

Lol, I love that you have a pet named Jennifer.

[cinnamongrrl]

Little Lola got under foot today while I was going about getting things done and I inadvertently stepped on her. For HOURS after she acted like I was going to hurt her and ran from me....sigh..as if I don't feel bad enough....

[RockOn]

Daniela,

I love love love that name Jennifer - always have! I knew my next female dog would be named Jennifer years ago.

Also, since I am using the name Jennifer already ... when it is time to adopt another female dog, her name will be Allison. Great sounding name, I love it too!

Back early Fall, I worked really hard with lots of other peeps to save a dog's life in a HIGH KILL SHELTER. I mean it took the whole village working hard to get this dog out alive. The dog's name was Avery. I gave Jennifer the middle name Avery in honor of this dog named Avery that we saved and helped into a loving home. "Jennifer Avery" ... I like it!!! *butch giggle*

Something funny ...
it was getting very very close for Avery. She had been on the daily kill list twice and we'd up our pledges, just start again throwing wads of money into her pledge bucket ... hoping a rescue would pull her. With pledges rising, this shelter would not kill her that day and would put her back on the urgent list with no kill date specified. I had tried to adopt her in the beginning but I was told I could not because I lived over 1000 miles from the kill shelter. They won't adopt out that far away. I had pledged close to $300.00. Anyway, I knew they were going to kill her very soon. Avery's time had just about run out. I learned decades ago money talks. I was working an "under the table" deal to adopt her, everything was in place, already had the transport get-away car lined up to bring her to me. It was going to be a "GO" the next morning. Someone adopted her out from under me that afternoon. I did not care. I only wanted the pooch to leave walking out of the shelter with 4 paws on the ground and not in a garbage bag. I feel like she got an awesome home. The adopter posted pictures of her with them in her new home. Seeing the photos made all of us so happy.

... and so .... we all lived happily ever after.

Heh Heh! :)

[FlaFem84]

My 11 month old dog made me chase him around with one of my favorite shirts in his mouth. I think he thought it was a game. He doesn't normally get into the laundry basket. Btw I won his little game.

[DaddyShaun]

Well Penny is going through a hump the couch or couch pillows faze. She's 17 months old and has been fixed for over a year but the last 2 months or so her humping habit has gotten a bit worse. We try to keep her busy but she seems to not be able to control it. The only thing that I can say I don't mind is she's not humping humans or other dogs so at least it's not embarrassing in front of guests or dogs at the dog park. I am hoping that she can control herself before I have to buy a new couch.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny dog _insisted_ she wanted some of the human food in my hand - so I gave her a sliver of raw carrot. She sniffed it, and then very carefully, so as not to get her tongue or lips on it, took the very edge of it with her teeth and carefully put it on the floor. Then she looked at me like it was my fault she didn't like it.

Tiny dog soon again _insisted_ she wanted a sliver of raw potato. She finally left it on the floor with a few tooth holes in it.

Kitty Diva gazed on throughout with bored derision.

[cinnamongrrl]

Lola got a rockyintroduction to my friends cat...but soon settled into playing :)

[Bard]

Piper our youngest kitty likes to groom our whippet Phoebe and I guess Phoebe was not in the mood today the result was Piper chasing the poor Phoebe around the house most of the day

[cricket26]

mr mighty mouse go "fixed" yesterday he is laying here beside me under his blanket with a cone around his head :(

[Daniela]

My (long-haired, natch) cat always wants me to pet her right after I rub lotion into my hands.

[Gemme]

My (long-haired, natch) cat always wants me to pet her right after I rub lotion into my hands.

She needs lotion too, you know!

And probably loves the smell of it as much as you, hence the 'make me smell like you, mommy' thing.

My cats always wanted rubs and loving when I was cooking. I was never so naïve to think that was about me.

:blink:

[EnchantedNightDweller]

I overheard my mom having an in depth conversation with our Bichon Frise Charlie. It was about his naughty behavior yesterday. I was like, "mama, do you really think he knows what you're talking about?" Lol

[Daniela]

She needs lotion too, you know!

And probably loves the smell of it as much as you, hence the 'make me smell like you, mommy' thing.

My cats always wanted rubs and loving when I was cooking. I was never so naïve to think that was about me.

:blink:

Haha! I think it usually does mean "maybe she'll feed me" and it just coincides with whenever it's most annoying for me. But I'm not totally convinced that she doesn't do things just to annoy me. ;)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Kitty Diva was startled from her nap when I switched from listening to Aretha Franklin to bastille. She suspiciously peered around the room, like an invader had slipped in and was hiding under the furniture. I don't think she likes bastille.

Tiny Dog is especially needy today. She keeps coming back for more petting.

Right now they are both asleep (to a reduced-volume bastille), Kitty Diva on my left and Tiny Dog on my right.

[Rockinonahigh]

Both the fur kids got got a clipping today,Little bit just got her face clip so she can see past the crazy hair she gets.Rowdy got an all over clip. I don't let her hair get so long but we have had so real cold weather so I waited till we had a warm up and it's been in the 50's or more and will be for a week or so...take the clipping days when I can in the winter.

[grenade]

I went upstairs for a shower a bit ago. My usual bathroom buddy followed me in. Winnie has to give me "potty hugs." It's our thing every morning and every evening when I come home from work. Then on the weekends whenever she pleases. We did the hugs, then I got into the shower. She usually likes to peek her head in the curtain and watch the water swirl. Today, she decided to wander in but before she could her brother jumped past her! So he got the first shower. We've had melty snow so they have dirty paws and wanted to be clean. One by one they got showers then a cookie. It made me feel special because they have never showered with me, only star.


:heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:

[JDeere]

Nothing but cause trouble lol like rummage in the trash and make a huge mess. I still lve them though.

[SaltyButch]

My pup showed me what a beautiful soul he has, I was taking care of a friend's dog today....we usually walk together and she had to work today. Well Dax and I went to go and get T-bear, we were in the hallway and I guess T-bear was not in a good mood today, he pinned Dax against the wall and was trying to bite him. I did what anyone would do and pulled them apart and told T-bear I would come back for him. I walked Dax separately, in the interim my friend's roommate returned and I told her what happened so she said she would walk the pup. As we were outside they showed up and Dax wagged his tail and walked up to T-bear to say hello....this after his friend just literally went for his neck. If only humans could be so forgiving, Dax realizes T-bear is having a bad day, maybe missing his Mom and chooses to remember all the other good times they have had. I'm very proud of my little man and he certainly got an extra treat today.

[FlaFem84]

My sister brought her dogs over today. We hung out for a few hours with all six dogs (she has 4). My puppy was all over her puppy (they are a month apart) he was obsessed over her though even tho she like 55 pounds lighter then him. Lol

When they left he whined and kept looking outside the window and around the house for them. I think it was 30 mins before he calmed down.

[cricket26]

my daughters chahuahua (who lives with me) had a reaction to flea medication and got very sick....she needed a steroid shot, fluids and eye drops...ugh...can i just have one day where no one gets sick, nothing breaks and no one needs money? :|

[Blade]

Well his sister swung her butt around and slammed him into the door of the kennel, busting his lip. He jumped her and had her down by the throat by the time I turned around. LOL course she was laying there giving up. She out weighs him by 20 pounds. She didn't mean to hurt him. He was bleeding bad thought. He's like me he's a lover not a fighter, but don't make him mad.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques practically launched himself into my arms when I got home today!! A long day at work, and the roomie at work also, made for too much alone time for my boy...

[C0LLETTE]

my dog slept, ate ( twice), pooped (twice), peed (4 times), did no tricks,

[CherryWine]

Within the hour that I have been home, the pets have been rather entertaining. I walked the pup and he did his business, but he had apparently eaten a piece of hair. What ensued was him becoming scared and running in circles trying to get the “dangly” that was following him. It was a rather tetherball-esque scene.

Then the pup snubbed his food which is normal until he gives up whining and realizes he is not going to get a boiled egg. The kitty ate his food and then decided he would try to eat the dog food, too. Now the pup is whining and the cat is banging the cabinet door in the bathroom.

They better be glad they are cute and soft.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques met the neighbor's new hound dog :)

He was polite but didn't want to play. I think his time at the dog park is paying off!

[AnAwkwardAccident]

We were feeding our rescue dog soft food. Today, we switched our rescue dog's reaction to eating hard food -- he took a bite of it and spit it out, and looked at us all hurt.

Our first pup is laying on the couch curled up at my feed fast asleep...I keep peeking down at her from over my computer and seeing her there puts the biggest grin on my face. She's my baby, and she just..'gets' me.

[Cailin]

Other than Drax ( we call her the black one... cause.. she's the only black one) climbing into the shower with me and then licking the water off the tub when I got out, nothing. And that's a GOOD thing :)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Kitty Diva had fun with catnip today. This basically means she played with her catnip mouse for about half a minute, and then rolled around in a pile of catnip I had put on the floor. Then she laid on her back and stared at the ceiling all starry-eyed. She has now moved to my bed for serious napping, where she has incidentally strewn dried catnip all around, and which I will be trying to brush off the sheets for half the night.

Tiny Dog met a new neighbor, and gave him a very small warning growl. She followed this with silent permission to pass our yard safely, although under close observation. (The neighbor wisely kept a respectful distance.)

[cinnamongrrl]

My dog woke me up out of a semi coma so he could go out. I got home after 5 and fell asleep by 730....all that time he didn't go out so he was justified waking me at 1130.....just wish I could get back to sleep now...

[Bard]

Piper the youngest kitty likes to try and sneak out when I let the dogs in and today she shot down stairs and in to the basement.. I already had the door closed that leads outside so I did not worry but the stubborn kitty did not come up for two hours and even then I had to bribe her with treats ugg hella stubborn baby :moonstars::moonstars:

[cinnamongrrl]

My kitten, Lola, is going to visit with us on weekends. My roomie isn't exactly a cat person but said weekends would be good...

Sooo

Lola, Jacques and I were all sleepy and cuddling this morning. Lola suddenly just reached and whacked Jacques' nose! He loves her so much..he did absolutely nothing lol

I had wondered where Lola would sleep once she didnt fit in my neck anymore....well...she sleeps with her head buried in my neck...with the rest of her off to the side or on my chest....aww :)

[Jesse]

We are working on Sadie's 4th Trick Dog title. So today we worked on playing ring toss and basketball. She has basketball down pat...ring toss is not her forte, but I have faith she will nail it. :)

[Bard]

Phoebe the whippet dances for her cookies it is very very cute... Today however she did her sweet dance and in the middle her sister the Sheppard Gracie came up and just knocked her over lol :blink:then looked at me as if ti say if she doesn't want the cookie I will take it

[cinnamongrrl]

Have I mentioned...my dog LOVES hummus....my cat...not so much....

[JDeere]

She ate my boston cream pie yogurt, I knew I shouldnt have left it on the side table and walked off, for less then 3 minutes!

[princessbelle]

Bella has been learning what snow is and today she learned that it is exciting to eat it. Her itty bitty mouth just chomped away. It was so cute.

[Ascot]

My cat Lulu jumped in the tub while I was taking a shower today. I discovered this peculiar surprise upon opening my eyes after rinsing out my shampoo.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques interacted awkwardly with his peers at the dog park... but very well with the humans who thought he was adorable...

And Lola got sent back to my friend's house. The roomie can only tolerate her in small doses...

I feel like a pet mom failure :(

[JDeere]

Got shots today and acted like a rude jerk to the vet tech. I have a pissy brat dog.

[Chad]

Today my cats took turns sitting in my lap. Spoiled!

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques has decided he no longer likes hummus. I guess it was a phase. At least now I don't have to share :)

[randrum]

Wasn't my dog, but my neighbor's dog, Tenson, escaped his yard this morning. My dog, Ernie, started crying when he realized that Tenson was roaming our front yard.

So I slipped a pair of jeans on over my boxers and a pair of sandals. Then grabbed my coat and ran outside. Did I mention it's sleeting outside?

Anyway, long story short, I managed to get Tenson, the 150 lb Newfoundland, back in his yard safe and sound. :)

[Daniela]

My poor cat fell off her tower while she was sleeping. I think she had a bad dream. She landed on her feet...I guess because she is a cat, lol.

:rollcat:

[asphaltcowboi]

my dogs had a blast in the rainy weather yesterday.. me not so much. they decided it was too much fun to run outside and get all wet so they could run back in and get toweled off. they liked being dried off more the getting rained on. they kept me pretty busy until I realized it was a game for them and locked them in!

[Bard]

The youngest kitty Piper decided that if I was going to be awake at 630 in the morning I should be petting her while she washed my face:| its all good til she falls asleep and starts to snore .. so much for me reading to try and go back to sleep :seeingstars:

[Cailin]

The Black Cat decided to be in the bathroom with me (cause you can never be truly alone) and was determined to believe that there was something on the wall. She stood on hind legs and kept hitting the wall like something was going to come out.---- there was nothing there.


I decided that was enough animal excitement and went back to bed. I'm sure this is a start to a crazy day.

[cinnamongrrl]

Poor Jacques...

He was with me when I decided to have my car washed...

It never occurred to me that it would be scary for him. He climbed into my lap and buried his head in my neck. I felt so so bad :(

[Logicaly]

I have indoor only cats, and my male cat Nyx, managed to get out on the patio while we were out there. We didn't even hear him open the door, normally we do. Fortunately he came right over to us meowing, that little stinker!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog contributed some of her shed fur to the nest-making projects of all the birds in the yard. She does not usually care for being brushed, but she tolerated the Zoom Groom fairly well today. So far, she is shedding just on the tops of her legs.

Kitty Diva, who is 12 years old, has started mewing like a little kitten when she wants to be fed. I do not understand why. In the past, some regular, loud cat meows were adequate, and I understood perfectly well what I was supposed to do: put food in her bowl. However, now she is making these tiny, high "mew mew mew" sounds. It's kind of cute, but I'm a bit worried that I'm missing the point of whatever nuanced kitty message she is trying to send me.

Currently the Whippet Phoebe is hanging around my neck like she is giving me a hug while Gracie sits on the other couch and the little kitty Piper is rolling around on the floor

Tiny Dog contributed some of her shed fur to the nest-making projects of all the birds in the yard. She does not usually care for being brushed, but she tolerated the Zoom Groom fairly well today. So far, she is shedding just on the tops of her legs.

Kitty Diva, who is 12 years old, has started mewing like a little kitten when she wants to be fed. I do not understand why. In the past, some regular, loud cat meows were adequate, and I understood perfectly well what I was supposed to do: put food in her bowl. However, now she is making these tiny, high "mew mew mew" sounds. It's kind of cute, but I'm a bit worried that I'm missing the point of whatever nuanced kitty message she is trying to send me.

I am very familiar with these cat messages. I think it's an attempt at mind control. They distract you with the incessant meowing; while your brain is otherwise engaged, they're mucking around in there and trying to program your behavior.
:cheesy:

My cat started making those pitiful sounding "mew mew mew" sounds in the last year. I think she just wants attention, but there are times when I want to tear my hair out because she just won't stop. She likes to run to the opposite end of the apartment, as far away as she can get, and then start mewing like she's been abandoned. It's really annoying. Good luck with your cat! If you find the answer to this problem, let me know. :D

It must be a global cat conspiracy! Who knows what new acts of servitude they are programming into our brains now with this "mew mew mew" thing. :|

LOL @ acts of servitude. I'm sure there are "Indoor Cat" Unions being formed at this very moment, with complaints that they're underworked and overfed. :rolleyes:

[CherryWine]

Y'all have me cracking up over here. :lol2: My kitty is also 12 and he does the same thing. Usually it will start off with regular meowing. Then when he realizes that is not going to get him anywhere, he starts trying to sound like a cute little baby kitten. It is quite funny. Sometimes it gets so bad that he opens his mouth to meow, but no sound comes out. Like he is too famished to even squeeze out a little mew anymore. :rolleyes:

[randrum]

My parents' Scottie, Macintosh, was so excited to see me that he went to give me lovin' (rubbing his head against mine), but instead headbutted me. I got a bloody lip as a result. He's got such a big head.

I have been cat sitting two cats for a friend who moved to Abu Dhabi. I was going to send her cat, Coco to her last week and the other cat, Jeeves, is to go to Taiwan with my friend's daughter (daughter has moved to Taiwan). My kids became attached to Coco and were worried about all the travel time and conditions to the Middle East (as was I and her owner) so, voila, Coco is the new family pet. What did they do today, I think they ate and slept. My daughter and her boyfriend have set up a fish tank at home. they had to go out of town for an emergency in his family. I am receiving calls from daughter asking me to feed the fish with.....frozen blood worms....well I guess a mother has to be around to feed the brood. lol

[CherryWine]

I wasn't paying attention while walking the pup and looked down to see him cluelessly standing in an ant mound taking a whiz. I could see them all over his little feet and legs and tried to swat them off as best as I could. Luckily we weren't far from home, so I was able to get him rinsed off quickly. He is so furry, it is hard to tell how good they got him. I know he probably got bitten quite a few times, because I have a few bites myself. Gave him some benadryl and keeping an eye on him. Poor boy.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques has me well trained apparently...

I woke up out of a sound sleep to find myself giving him belly rubs...lol

[Chad]

My kitty's are taking turns sitting in my lap.

[cinnamongrrl]

After I came back from taking a shower, Jacques was acting strange...

I have an old apple crate laying on its side by my bed; it serves as my nightstand. I keep reading material in the cubby..Jacques was pacing then walked over to the crate and climbed into the cubby. He layed there a while and put his head down. When I sat on the bed, he came out and sat with me but still seemed out of sorts. I offered to let him go under the covers so he cpuld "den" some more and he went eagerly and remains there 10 min later.

I don't know what couldve scared him in the short time I was in the shower. He DID used to like to den under the couch at my moms...maybe he would like a small crate to accomadate this need...

Other than that, we went to an abandoned people park today and swung on the swing(he really seems to love this...oddly enough) and he got to play in the small brook there. He was also introduced to a nice Australian shepherd and we were invited by her trainer to come to his business for a people/dog social that they have every so often..

In other pet news, my morning client was going to toss about 3lbs of liver that she didn't like and I grabbed it. I found recipers at www.dogtreatkitchen.com for liver treats and will probably dehydrate at least 1/3 of it for him.

[CherryWine]

My kitty sneezed directly into my left eye as I was petting him on his cat tree. I'm allergic to his saliva, so that eye is a hot, swollen mess even after I washed it out. Now he's curled up and warming my bare feet in an apparent act of apology....yeah right. :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques likes rootbeer barrels..

That crazy poodle..

[Gemme]

Be careful with that type of stuff, cinn. Some of it can contain Xylitol, which is fatal to dogs. It also can sometimes (depending on the brand) contain caffeine, which is bad for him too.

[grenade]

I turned on the bedroom light this morning. The min pin, who was laying on her side, squinted her eyes, then covered them with her paws. It was super cute.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques went thrift shopping with me today.

At the second shop he met the shop's resident dog which went well..

Then he met the resident cat...which...dd not...

He went bouncing up to her...probably because she looked a lot like his lost sister. She gave him a wicked swat and made his little ear bleed :( His feelings were sorer than the ear though.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog's big accomplishment for the day was getting the last two french fries at dinner. She managed this simply by looking cute.

Kitty Diva went all rebellious today. When I scootched her bottom, trying to get her off the bed, instead of complying she decided to slap at my hand and try to bite me. I went all "claw hand" back at her and hissed. Her ears laid back flat and she slapped at me again! I must have interrupted a really good dream. (She won, BTW.)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Kitty Diva invented a new game, "Queen of the Mountain". She climbed to the top of the pile of laundry on the couch. (The same couch where Tiny Dog usually snuggles up to watch TV with me.) Kitty Diva hid herself among the camouflaging white washcloths, and when Tiny Dog hopped on the couch, Whap! went Kitty Diva's paw across Tiny Dog's nose.

Tiny Dog hopped right off the couch without even stopping, and looked at me all sad-eyed. I yelled at Kitty Diva, but she ignored me from under the pile of laundry because, of course, I could not see her.

Tiny Dog got extra treats and is sleeping on the floor next to me now.

[cinnamongrrl]

It was my proxy pet...my every other Monday client's dog Gus...

He tends to forget me between visits. Today he was so scared by me he peed on the floor :( He went upstairs to hide and I started cleaning downstairs to give him some time and space.

When it came time to vacuum, I hear his big self lumber down the stairs. Then he came up to me all happy and smiling as if to say, "ohhhh it's YOU!".

We had an excellent remainder of the day...playing and grooming and such...

I almost wish I were there weekly just to save him the initial stress when he doesn't remember me!

[C0LLETTE]

my pet vomited...he's on his way to the vet.

[cricket26]

mr mighty mouse is learning to "sit"

he did it by himself for the first time on command and got a treat today...not sure if it was by accident or not :)


maybe he will remember for next training session...

[Hominid]

The big dope, AKA "Lazy Eyed Joe" AKA Bowser - I was going to post that he he had gone 4 days without an "accident" in the house. Nope. He just found a new corner in the cavernous farmhouse. Pew.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques apparently rolled in something while we were at the unofficial dog park....

Soo...Jacques is getting a bath! P. U.

[randrum]

Ernie has had a ruff week. Sunday he ate a stick of butter off the table. Then got sick in the wee hours of Monday morning. Monday night he stole a meatball sandwich and tore up the carpet in my room.

This morning Ernie was paying for his actions. He wouldn't eat, wouldn't take a treat. Then threw up, what looked to be, bloody mucus. The Vet said he has an intestinal infection. So my little guy is on meds and a special diet for the foreseeable future.

I feel bad for him. But I also hope he learned his lesson about stealing food.

Trust me when I say....he did not learn and won't lol

Food is food is food to a dog...but I'm glad he's on the mend :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques refused to eat raw chicken. I thought dogs liked raw meat. Guess my little guy is uber evolved and sophisticated :)

[nhplowboi]

Our bad horses decided.......yes, the grass IS greener on the other side of the fence! Fortunately for us they stayed home for a change and mowed their own lawn. :cowboihorse: :cowboihorse:

[C0LLETTE]

The cat threw up and the dog ate it. It was perfect. And how did your day go?

[cricket26]

mr mighty mouse unfortunately is a door runner, and he got out last nite, made it across the street and hid under a car at the other apartment complex...i was on my way home when he got out...i stopped and helped find him...thanks to a very nice neighbor we found him....i pulled up, called his name and out he came looking like i had just come home from work or something....i tearfully thanked the girl and took him home :)

[cricket26]

we discovered that if you take mr mighty mouses harness off and rub his back, he grins from ear to ear :D

[C0LLETTE]

My very ancient, mostly blind and deaf, Frenchie...who a lot of people including his vet expect to pass any day now... ran around like a puppy today, went for a nice long walk, had a hefty bowel movement and licked everyone who let him.

[Jesse]

She has done a good bit of pouting because she got a new harness and is not used to it yet. But when I remove it, she wants it back on! Sheesh!

[Daniela]

My cat turns her nose up at sushi and sashimi. WTF. She is such a princess.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques went to Shakespeare in the Park with me last night....

He played social butterfly as always ....He REALLY laid on the charm with the guy in front of us who had brought some Thai food as a picnic lunch....as charmed as the guy was, he didn't share. Little does he know....my little lamb LOVES Thai....

Note to self: Time to visit our favorite Thai place. They LOVE Jacques and bring him his own water dish and everything :)

Oh he also barked at a dog that was in the play...my little diva!

[cinnamongrrl]

My cat turns her nose up at sushi and sashimi. WTF. She is such a princess.

My cat won't eat chicken...or canned food...at least not in front of me.

I'm not entirely convinced she eats it at all. I think her dog brother may be getting into it. She's a strange kitty....

[Bevidotcom]

Four small dogs. They slept late... while we got up an ungodly hour to open the store. They meandered down to the barn to visit the horses. A couple of the mini pack visited with their human bud, Nicki. They gleefully chased guinea fowl into tall pines. They swiped bread from the chicken, right under her little beak. Then all got a treat, and decided that after a hard morning at play, it was time for a nap.

[JDeere]

Nothing but cause trouble lol

The other is disabled so she just lays in her cage

[ksrainbow]

Mr. Mars added another bird to his diet. Guess he gave up with regular food :eyebrow:

[starryeyes]

Barked outside the window a lot. Smudge and Romee have a rivalry with Stanley the dog next door.

[ahk]

My lil Zig-Zo mainly sleeps. But when she's up and around-- she's normally looking for cookies and/or pets from me. And Henry, he is normally at my feet just waiting for some extra attention.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Big thunderstorm outside, so I have Kitty Diva on the bed, Tiny Dog lying on the floor next to the bed, and I'm huddled under the covers. I'm listening to the radio, searching the dial for weather reports, and "Straight On For You" by Heart comes on. This is a song I _must_ sing along to, even though it is quite out of my range. So I'm warbling along, and I look over the edge of the bed to check on Tiny Dog. She's curled up in a tight little ball with her paws over her ears, just like a cartoon dog. Oh come on, I didn't think I was that bad! So I quit trying to belt it out along with Ann Wilson, and Tiny Dog cautiously uncurls herself, hesitates, then finally stretches out next to the bed again.

Message received, loud and clear, dog. Loud and clear.

[Blade]

Setting the scene...Willy has been wearing a cone for a few weeks to keep him from chewing, Joey doesn't know he is a cat. Sometime he thinks he is a dog and sometime he thinks he is a chicken.

I let Willy out with me without his cone on when I went out to feed the goats and shut the chickens up for the night.

As I walked out to the chicken pen, Willy got ahead of me and started walking down the side of the driveway. I'm thinking where does he think he's going? He skips off to the grass beside the chicken pen.

There was still a few chickens out of the pen. Joey follows me out there, and as I start herding the chickens toward the door, Joey stands in the door way. REMEMBER he is not a chicken and they know it but he doesn't. As the chickens get to the doorway and see him they divert around the door. I scolded Joey and he came out of the doorway but still wanted to linger around down there so I kicked some driveway gravel toward him and he ran back to the house.

In the mean time, the chickens were making their way around the door and around the corner of the pen. Here comes my HERO! Willy is walking up the fence line and meets them at the corner LOL. OMG I'm cracking up now. When they see him they do an about face, clucking and cackling about their way right threw the door and inside the pen. He didn't know he had done anything special but I sure appreciated him being there to help me round up the chickens.

[Ascot]

My cat Lulu is a foundling. I've had her for about 4 years. She obviously belonged to someone else at some point because she's been declawed. (a barbaric practice of which I am most certainly not an advocate) She frequently likes to "claw" at my leg (which might be why she was declawed), but because she has no nails, it just tickles. Today was total ticklepalooza. She would not leave me alone. I'm standing in the kitchen making breakfast, she's tickling my calf. I'm working at my desk, she's tickling whatever part of me she can reach through the slats on my old school wooden chair. I finally had to rather sternly shoo her away so I could get any work done. I don't think anything is amiss with her, so I've no idea what that was all about.

[Kenna]

I love petsitting and housesitting for this family (dear friends)...
The pups are my adopted luvbugs....one looks like a half grown Black Bear who loves to lounge on the covered porch and "alert" when there's deer or squirrels in his yard...today I thought someone was knocking at the door, but it was this sweet giant bear laying on his back with his "happy tail" hitting the screen door. ....

My friend is a plumber by trade and had left their muddy bluejeans on the porch before leaving for vacation....so tonight I figured I'd try to wash them...but they were CAKED in dried, orange clay mud...I pick up the first pair and start thrashing them against the brick wall...this made big ol' bear start dancing, barking and running circles. Suddenly he grabbed the jeans from me, ran down the steps, down the walk past garage and under the truck. :| There I found his "happy tail" sticking out with the jeans under the beast! Laughing the whole time, I'm thinking....

Now....how do you get a "prize" away from a BEAR?....you bait him with a piece of ham and make a trade.

[starryeyes]

Bark, jump on me, bark, lick my face, bark, drop his boney in my lap and lay on my chest. <3

[cinnamongrrl]

My cat (I think I've decided on Molly for a name) was sitting on my chest so I went on youtube to see if they had videos to amuse cats...

BUT OF COURSE THEY DID!

So I put one on for her. At first I was like...yeah right...then in just a few seconds she was watching attentively! At one point when a bird flew off screen she about jumped to get it! Lol...

Then she climbed on my keyboard and realized she couldn't hunt the birds...she got rather peeved and left...lol

[cricket26]

my daughters dogs have been sleeping with me lately...and when my daughter gets home from work and or the gym...usually very late...she came to get her dogs and the chihuahua did not want to go! i guess she has grown attached to me :)

[theoddz]

Our nearly 10 year old orange tabbyboy, Henry, has been having asthma attacks since around 3 this morning.

I think I may finally have it under control, thanks to some Prednisolone (steroid), a Singulair pill and an Albuterol inhaler.

Poor ol' boy.

~Theo~ :bouquet:

[MysticOceansFL]

My cocker spaniel stood on my chest and placed her cold nose in my face this morning! ( her way of telling me to get up and take her outside )

[Blaze]

I'm thinking. . Even in kitty land, the international BIRD sign still stands true in human land. ..
I was trying to give the Son a shot. and he raised his paw in defiance. still means the same thing even with paw prints right?

Dangnabbit!

[Kätzchen]

My favorite cat, Petunia, absolutely loves Simon (he's a dog), but cannot stand Toffee (she's a year old sheep herding dog).

So when Toffee tries to get snuggly with Petunia, Petunia will hiss and claw at Toffee, which makes Toffee jealous because Petunia loves Simon, not Toffee.

So when the three of them cause a commotion over who gets to snuggle with each other, I break it up by wandering out to the kitchen to slice up some cheese.

I give the cheese to the dogs and for Petunia, I give her the peanut-butter chocolate dog nip treats, lol.

So far, it works every time.

[Chad]

My cats are taking turns laying in my lap.

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques went thrift shopping with me today....


At the first store, the cashier had her pet poodle with her and he made friends with her easily...he was actually quite besotted with her :)

The second store...not so good. They have resident kitties there (since they are associated with the animal shelter next door) and Jacques WANTED to make friends with them, but....yeah no. His poor little baby feelings were hurt :(

[Kenna]

This morning while trying to relocate the baby goats from the field back to their pen, the smallest one decided she didn't want to leave, so she FLOPPED down on her belly with her legs out to all sides. I thought she had fainted or something. ...then when I finally had all 3 babies on leash and ready to walk back to the pen, baby number 2 decided she needed a mud bath, so she PUT ON HER BRAKES, planted all feet in the mud puddle then flopped on her side as I tried to coax her to "come on!" ....
Once back to the pen...baby number 3, the most stubborn bullheaded one, stepped on both of my feet.... no body earned any cookies on this trip.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I got Tiny Dog a new bed and she loves it!* She studiously watched me bundle up her old bed in a trash bag and take it out to the trash, and then fluff up and spread out her new bed and blanket. I patted it, and she jumped right on! And right off! And right on! And right off! - Then after a long evening, it was bedtime. She settled down on it right away - and stayed on!

(Kitty Diva was her usual surly self today. She doesn't know it yet, but I am looking for one of those new Friskies edible string toys for her.)

*Also, I got a great deal on exactly the kind of bed I wanted for Tiny Dog - unzippable, washable cover _and_ unzippable, washable inner bag that can be stuffed with the stuffing of my choice (cedar shavings - oh, the doggie will smell so good!)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I read some upsetting news today, and now it is 5:00 AM and I can't sleep. Tiny Dog is doing me a favor and sleeping on the floor next to me now, so hopefully I can get to sleep now.

Kitty Diva stalked off in disgust to sleep elsewhere, even though this does not impact the amount of space she gets on the bed.

[cinnamongrrl]

I got kitty Eleanor a kitty perch and put it near the window...

She loves it! She has forsaken sleeping on the table and counter and clean laundry....

I so wish I'd done this sooner!

[Tuff Stuff]

Well,the last i saw them they were all laying around,eating,and getting fat.
:rollcat::playingcat::doghead: :unicorn:

Honey,I just bought pet food

No,I don't really own a unicorn *snort*

[cinnamongrrl]

Jacques has decided that the kitty motel is his...and he curled his little self up on the lower tower and looked very pleased with himself!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I got Kitty Diva one of those Weebles with the crunchy treats inside and the string treats that poke out. She doesn't know what to do with the string, but she figured out that the crunchy treats come out of the Weeble somehow. Instead of rocking it over so the treats fall out, though, she pokes her tongue through the hole until it sticks to a treat and pulls it out!

[cinnamongrrl]

Kitty Eleanor decided to sit on Jacques' head...

He growled but didn't move...and we snuggled like that for some time... :)

[ksrainbow]

Mr.Mars slept all day til I came home from work: then went back to sleep.

[Tuff Stuff]

?

Suga (my male cat) wants some cheese now :rollcat:

That's all I know...

[randrum]

My hound dog, Ernie, has a nose for french fries. I swear I walk in the door and he pretty much pounces for the fries.

He also manages to sniff out Juicy Fruit gum. He pretty much ate a whole pack yesterday... Stole it out of my messenger bag.

[Shystonefem]

Once again, I had no room in the bed last night. I have a queen sized bed but the dogs insist on sleeping on the side I sleep on, leaving the other side completely free. *Sigh

[cinnamongrrl]

Well.....

My daughter is back from visiting the coast...and while she was there she found an abused boxer....

Long story short...we now have a boxer!

She is calling him Yoda, I think he looks more like a Buster...we both kinda call him Buddy...

Anywho...

yesterday we took Yoda and Jacques to Chimney Rock. We walked down by the river and both dogs waded in the water...wading for Jacques meant his belly got wet. For Yoda, wading is barely getting his feets wet....but every time he'd come out of the water, he would shake himself off as though he was soaked...lol

[cricket26]

i had to run an errand after work...got home about and hour late...there was a new 24 roll pack of toilet paper on the table in the hall...need i say more...ugh!

[Chad]

My kitties are taking turns on my lap and purring.

[cinnamongrrl]

The new dog has proven he's a lover not a fighter...

He let our visiting friend's ferret run all over him and has left the cat alone as well...

I can NOT say how much this means to me. I'm already attached to the big lug...

As a PS...the blood hound down the road has taken a shine to him also...I think she thinks he's her beau....little does she know, he's neutered...lol

[cinnamongrrl]

So...

Ive decided to gift myself a fiddle and start learning to play a little before taking lessons....

I was on youtube looking for how to videos and the new dog (Ive decided to call him Bear..since he huffs and grunts like a big ol bear) hears the violin and does the most adorable head tilt I ever saw...then he did it on the other side too!

He was an outside dog, so all these new house noises put him on edge. But the violin actually seemed to please him :)

[Rockinonahigh]

My girls got in to a knock down fight at three a.m. this morning over a rawhide chewy, talk about a quick wake up call. I got it broke up with no blood shed mine or theirs. All is well now and I have forbidden chewy's on the bed form now on.

[cinnamongrrl]

boxer bear was so happy to see me home from work that he leapt and bounced like a gazelle. Its such an odd sight for such a large dog....

and

kitty Eleanor discovered a window she can get in and out of...

She came home full of cobwebs and laid in my lap...she was trying so hard to stay awake that her eyes were crossing as her head was nodding...

I have some silly furkids...lol

Last year I bought a fiddle plus books to learn to play it. It is fun and I have managed to learn some Louisiana swing/jazz music. Both my fur kids sit at my feet or not far from me, I play and they howl or bark or any combo they chose then we all have a good time.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Kitty Diva slept so hard last night that she didn't hear me calling her (or she was ignoring me). I called and looked all over the house, but no kitty. After I finally got dressed and ready to go outside at 3:00 a.m. to look for her, she suddenly appeared in the hallway. I think she was hiding, waiting to see what I would do.

[cinnamongrrl]

the dogs both got baths! Today was Yoda's first by me...

it went ok...he was really happy once it was done with...as was I...lol

[Rockinonahigh]

This after noon bot the girls got up in my lap for some ear scratching and belly rubs, before long all of us dosed off in the recliner.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog got her nails clipped today. Afterward, she clung to me, thinking hard at me, "Pet me! Pet me! I have suffered so, having my toenails clipped!" Of course, I gave her lots of loves for being such a good girl. After I'd had enough of that, though, she settled down to chew on her nails and do a better manicure than the one I had given her. Diva!

[randrum]

Yes, Ernie stole 2 bananas from the counter top. He left the peels on the family room carpet. Didn't disturb anything else.

[Tuff Stuff]

They were with me all day..and I swear they didn't do a damn thing..okay,so the cats got into some chips..and the dogs barked all day and I didn't see anything outside..???..and then we all took naps at the same time.

[randrum]

Ernie is not liking me packing for the move. He's coming with me. But today he settled on the center of the bed and gave me the saddest eyes every. And then tonight he was in physical contact with me all night. When I moved, he moved.

[Daniela]

My cat guards the kitchen like a troll guarding a bridge; there's a toll (i.e., cat treats) to enter. :rolleyes:
