What did your pet(s) do today?

[cinnamongrrl]

Twas yesterday...

The boys got caught out in a wicked rain storm at the top of Chimney Rock with me...

Yoda was a former farm dog who slept in a dirt hole. He dealt with it well. We sat by a big rock since the rain was whipping so hard that it hurt. He kept looking up at the gigantic American flag that they. have up there.

Jacques was less stoic. He's been pampered always.. He got under the rock as far as he could and shivered and groomed. I had to bundle him in my jacket to make the descent. Lol

Both of my boys were tuckered out and slept really well last night. As did their mama..

[JDeere]

Misbehaving as usual while I was getting everything prepared to drop them off for boarding, my dog is bad lol

[Sweet Bliss]

Was sitting here in my chair, and Zoe suddenly falls from the back of the chair, LoL, lands on my shoulders and neck, she got so relaxed she rolled off the back, LoL... She is so funny.

My cat is often very clumsy. I don't leave things in places where she walks by because she knocks stuff over all the time. I find it ironic.

Are you sure it's not on purpose, like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqk3yNiTX0) cat?

[cinnamongrrl]

Yoda is passed out on the couch next to me....snoring like a grown man....

I know the dogs don't eat while I'm gone...now I'm wondering if they don't sleep either.

I so need a Nanny cam....

[cinnamongrrl]

We hiked to an awesome bald and took in the amazing views.

The boys then proceeded to make me constantly nervous by getting too close to the edge of the cliff. I swear they did it on purpose.

Now we are all tuckered out. But...this time we made it out BEFORE a storm came up...good thing too cuz there was thunder and lightning. Yoda hates both.

[IrishAmazon]

This morning we had a big thunder storm, Riley who lived his first 6 years in Seattle all of the sudden hates the rain, and now shakes and quivers for thunder and lighting. He took his whole 60 pounds and curled up between my pillow and the head board. While little miss alice thought it was play time and danced over both of us trying to figure out what new game we were playing.

[easygoingfemme]

Second time this week- when I went to let the dog out this morning, my old lady cat bolted out the back door. She's an indoor cat. First time, the other day, she just sat at the door looking confused like she didn't know how she got there. Today though, I had to follow her around the house to catch her and bring her back in. Which was awesome cause I'd just rolled out of bed and was in my pajamas with my hair sticking up all over. :dance2::rollcat::cat:

[storyspinner70]

My kitty Chung Pow flat out tried to kill me today. I think he was trying to open a vein. To be fair, I have to give him antibiotics twice a day and he hates it, but still....lol

[Kenna]

One goofy goat cracked me up as she scratched her belly on the downed tree trunk...wiggling around until she hit the right spot.
Her sister got her head stuck AGAIN in the fence, then cried at me when I got her unstuck...
The other sister jumped around like she had a belly full of jumping beans or a gallon full of fermented honeysuckle wine.

My ever loving fluff ball pup cuddled up tight to me after I got home from the doctor's, and we took a long nap. He knows when I need cuddles the most.

The two resident pet chickens tried to cuddle up to the cat and take a sun bath.

And the baby turtle hissed at me when I tried to warm up her new habitat.

[FireSignFemme]

Today Monte bit two great big chunks out of two jumbo avocados. When I came home I had a lot of heavy bags so I set some of them on the washing machine. I saw him but I had no idea he'd be up there playing Count Dracula with the fruit because seriously what kind of cat does that? Hello Mr. Obligate Carnivore! The vet said the avocado wouldn’t hurt him and since he hadn’t eaten any of the produce bag only punctured holes in it to just keep an eye on him. Up until today I thought he was a pretty good cat but anymore I can’t with any honest certainty swear to it because well if he’d do that what wouldn’t he think to maybe do/eat next?

[easygoingfemme]

One of my cats tried to scare me by not presenting himself as usual this morning. Apparently he was just trying to prank me as he suddenly appeared in the middle of the stairs and tried to trip me. The others are in various stages of lounging and not bothering to get up and watching the birds at the bird feeder.

[Gayandgray]

My toe male Bostons got in a tussle and the bigger one bit his little brother's lip. :confused: I have no clue what brought that on as I was standing right there?

I don't know what they say about Boston Terriers, but I know with Parson Russell terriers they say that you should never leave them alone together. They can be the best of friends, but then have a terrible fight/attack.

My male dog trashed his sister's face when they were still in the first year. I have a scar on my arm where his sister latched onto me when I was pulling them apart. I have tossed an entire bucket of water on them (seemed like a good idea at the time...I had read it in a book), and it didn't even faze them.

[TL1]

I can post here since I'm keeping a dog for eight weeks.
I turned on the tv....there was a dog in the show that barked. So Lolli starts barking and runs to the back door which is no where near the tv. Then hears it again and runs to the front door barking. It was cute.

[Blade]

Since my accident I keep a thick pillow under my knees when I'm horizontal. Today Skip crawled up on the pillow rolled up in a tight little ball and fell asleep. Little man was sleeping so hard he was snoring and snoring so loud I got tickled at him. Then he started whimpering and doing a little yip in his sleep. I don't know what he was dreaming about but it must have been some serious fun, or he was dreaming he was 100 pounds and taking on a German Shepherd

[FireSignFemme]

Today Monte heard a loud noise and ran to hide. I couldn't find him in any of his usual spots so I checked in the back room and found him. He was hiding behind a cardboard box on the bed well-hidden save for, dead ringer give away, the tips of his ears above the box sticking up, showing. I'm glad he's got me because out in nature - I really don't think natural selection would be a friend to him, not if this is the best he can do when it comes to hiding.

[Kenna]

One goofy goat jumped a 4 foot high fence (where I had them "mowing the lawn") to help herself to the wild blackberry bushes and briars....then decided to play "catch me if you can", when I approached her with the leash.

She's a slippery little fart when she doesn't want caught...but I outsmarted her by "driving" her towards the larger pen and locked the gate as she trotted inside, thinking she had won this catch-me game. When she discovered I had locked her gate, she was not a happy camper!! She started crying for her sisters, which made both sisters (still in the other pen) cry hard for her and try frantically to jump their way out.

They are triplets and hate to be more than 5 feet away from each other.

[cinnamongrrl]

The boys hiked Craggy Pinnacle with me today on the parkway.

When we got to the top, Yoda stood on his back legs and took in the view like everyone else. It was funny to see.

A storm came up and Jacques got shivery cold. The temperature was about 10°colder up there anyhow with the elevation. He hid out in my jacket for a while til I realized I couldn't make the steep climb down with him tucked in there lol

On the way home we saw a bear and her cub cross the parkway. Yoda was supposedly a bear dog in his former farm life. He did sniff the air and take a particular interest.

Ohh and he got testy with a dog on the trail that he perceived as threatening to Jacques when all the poor pup wanted was to play...he's SO protective of his little brother

[Rockinonahigh]

Before I went to bed I ask the fur kids did you ne to go potty? Nope they said, then I knew I was going regret not taking them out anyway. so low and behold it is 4:30 in the a. m. they bounced on me to...let is out,let us out we gotta go. So now I am waiting on them to come in. O.K. kids it's time to come in.

[TL1]

Lolli is a mix ridgeback... Smaller than full blooded but not a tiny dog at all. Somehow she opened the front door and tried to take off! Luckily I was right there. Sneaky girl.

[easygoingfemme]

My dog was up at 3am sick, which is totally unlike him. He woke me up whimpering and doing his quiet "inside" bark needing to go out. He was outside for a while. During that time all of the cats ran out to the back porch thinking it was bonus late night bird watching time. They hid behind the table in a dark corner when I tried to get them to come back in. So... I had an early morning of cat wrangling and dog duty. Dog seems better now- still going out a little more than normal but is happy and bouncing around...

[Chad]

The baby kitty is frisky so we played chase me catch me. She had fun.

[Gayandgray]

Bailey is really grieving for her sister Brandy. She will be 11 in July and she is usually a very happy little dog, but today she won't do nothing but lay around. She gets up and goes all around the house looking and then goes back to my spouse and lays down. The boys are Special Needs dogs. They are bad epileptic and have some brain damage from all their seizures, so they aren't too sure what is going on. They are litter mates. Baxter stole some chicken today when I was making chicken salad, and Bo begged and pleaded for some banana.

[Chad]

Today I almost drove over to PAWS to get a kitten for the baby kitty. I did show restraint though. I will call and talk to them first. The baby kitty came from PAWS and she has been a healthy happy cat. By the way the baby kitty is 10 years old now. Haha.😊

[Chad]

The baby kitty and I played fetch with her nurf football. She had a blast.

:ballcat:

[C0LLETTE]

The dog puked ( not massively, so pls don't send hate mail) indicating he prefers A/C to 4 open windows on a car ride.

[Gayandgray]

My biggest Boston, Baxter, rolled in the dirt and chased two toads.

[easygoingfemme]

The cats have been sprawled out on the screened in back porch all day. Sometimes napping, sometimes stalking chipmunks and other critters. Mostly sprawling and napping. But one did take a flying leap onto a windowsill, missed it, and hung on by his paws for a few very comical awkward moments. :playingcat:

The dog has been sleeping at my feet or outside my office door when I have it closed for work. His eyes are begging for a walk. Soon, buddy. :dog:

[Chad]

Today I picked up the urn (ashes) of the oldest kitty. Seems awkward to me but I still have the ashes of my last kitty that lived into her 20's.

The baby kitty is glad to have me home today. She is doing okay alone but she stress eats. She has been a comfort eater for years.

I am sure that she will want to play after her morning nap.

:rollcat:

[Chad]

The baby kitty got into the bathroom and unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper. She is so helpful, now I don't have to unroll the toilet paper. She is daddy's little helper.

:cat:

[RockOn]

Made a fast trip home at lunch, brought Kevie and Jennifer indoors and turned the air on 63 degrees. It was way too hot, especially for Kevin (bully mastiff mix) ... he cannot cool himself down with his shorter nose like other dogs - I watch him closely during hot weather.

Dropped by after work and let them out for about an hour while I went to pick up a few eats at Sams Club. Bought them a rottissure (<<-- too lazy to look up and correct spelling) chicken. They love that chicken from Sams. When I brought them in to feed them, I was yelling "chicken picnic." Those two words click the excitment button and turn it on extra high. LOL! They make me laugh so hard! And that is what it is all about for me. :)

[easygoingfemme]

One of my cats has taken to sleeping laying flat on his back on the floor with his back legs propped up against the wall. So he's doing that. Everyone else is just laying around being freeloaders.

[Glenn]

Every single one of my ten little cat indians has a bad head cold. That Never happened here before! One caught whateveritis, and gave it to the others. I've been a very worried daddi here for the past five days.:( At least they are still eating, and have no fever. If one gets a fever, it is going right to the Doc!

[RockOn]

Kevin and Jennifer have been revved up past the ceiling ALL DAY LONG. They seem not to be able to contain themselves. I have a 26' long uhaul truck backed up to my front porch. The metal ramp is about 3' off my front door. I am loading, loading, loading ... they are wanting to be in and out, in and out the back door to the fenced back yard the entire day.

I almost boarded them these last couple of days but glad I didn't. They are so good about paying attention when I turn on my firm voice ... both minded my instructions not to attempt to sneak out the front door. Course Jennifer had to get a little too close and press it to the edge a couple of times by trying to peer out. A loud "go back" put the skids on that behavior. Jennifer has so much in common (as far as behavioral characteristics) with my beloved Kelly Diane. Kelly went on to the Big House over Rainbow Bridge in January 2014. Bet Kelly is gently bossing everyone there. LOL!

If I cannot get the paperwork completed and the power on at the new place by tomorrow evening through this Power CO-OP, we three will be staying in a hotel tomorrow evening. I had no idea of the hoops one has to jump through if you have to enlist help from a Power CO-OP. And you have to pay a membership fee, plus other silly non-sense. I don't wish to be in a club, only want my freaking power on. It feels uncomfortable to be at their mercy but I do not have any additional choices. WTF???

[Chad]

The baby kitty and I played fetch with her new toy. It is a rubber cage like ball with a mouse in the middle that squeaks when rolled. We played and played.

:ballcat:

[Blade]

TREMBLE...that boy is terrified of a thunderstorm. I have no idea why, but holding him I could feel him TREMBLE

[cinnamongrrl]

The boys hiked with me...and both got baths when we got home. The ticks are rampant this year!

Now I have two mildly damp dogs in my bed cuz oh yeah...Yoda started sleeping in my bed. After nearly a year of living here. And why is that you may ask? Because the smoke detector needs a bAttery and the chirping sound scares him.

I love my big wussy dog <3

[Kenna]

My favorite goofy little goat loved the peanut butter cookies I shared with her...she "tried" the oatmeal cookies, but wanted more peanut butter...then when I offered her a shortbread cookie, she crumbled it up and spit it out. :| :|
She is proof that goats do NOT eat everything. I've never seen such a picky goat. And get this....she doesn't take a peanut butter cookie if I twist it open to let her taste the filling. She sniffs at it but won't take it.
Goofy goat

[Chad]

I just caught the baby kitty sticking her paw in my glass of tea and drinking it. I have seen her do that with my cocktails too. I guess we share drinks. I am not sure that I approve of this. Haha!

:cat:

My cats are more blatant about helping themselves, they just stick their faces into my water and help themselves. They don't leave "surprises" for me so it's all good.

Several of my girls are inside soaking up the air conditioner coolness, Bella however will NOT come in unless there is a rain storm. The others know what a storm front looks like so they are ready to come in before the onslaught. Savannah is the Princess, likes being cool all afternoon, she is quite the expert table clearer upper. Oh ya.... don't get me started.

The Goobers are not amused by summer weather, unless they spot a squirrel. Sophie is an expert foot traffic blocker, but Tater is a sofa hogger, not ever under foot, just under butt, gotta look before sitting down.

[Chad]

It must be party time because I caught the baby kitty drinking my cocktail! Haha!

:rollcat:

[Kenna]

My 15 pound fluff-muttly with his 120 pound big dog attitude decided he was going to ignore all my commands as he launched himself off the porch and ran full speed up the drive lane and through the yard (with his new cone of shame flopping about on his head), in guard dog mode, to meet Mawmaw as she drove up the lane.

They both nearly gave me a heart attack because he almost got under her back tire, and then finally after she came to a stop, she said "I saw something coming at me but didn't know what it was." :| :|

I should have asked her "How many furry, fluffy, four legged critters with a curly tail, wearing a big white plastic cone on their head live on this farm??"

[cinnamongrrl]

My boxer baby boy gave his kitty sister a big ol smooch on her ear...and it didn't look like a taste test lol

I'm thinking about getting a kitten from a guy at work so that Eleanor has a feline companion. My only worry was that yoda may not take well to it....I think my worry is gone now lol

[Gayandgray]

Chased the roads in the backyard. They are fascinated with toads right now.

[stargazingboi]

hung out..barked at the small dog next door...took a ride to the park and went for a walk

[Chad]

The baby kitty wants to play chase me catch me. Silly kitty.

:playingcat:

[easygoingfemme]

One of the cats spent most of the day stretched out full length on the dog bed. I have a pretty big dog, and thus, a pretty big dog bed. The cat managed to sleep fully stretched out so he covered the dog bed end to end. The dog slept on the floor next to his bed, looking longingly at the cat. One of the other cats will share the dog bed with the dog. But not this one.

[cricket26]

the black cat decided to walk along the bathtub while it was full of water and he fell in! :blink:

[stargazingboi]

they have done nothing outside of waking me up to let them out, stare me down for food and go back to sleep.

[Chad]

The baby kitty is laying on the window seal enjoying the sunshine.

:cat:

[Bèsame*]

well, they aren't really my pets..🐿🐿🐿🐿.but the squirrels outside, seem to entertain me. They are little ones, taunting each other and going round and round the tree trunk. I noticed today, one of those little guys has some big squirrel nuts to grow into!! Lol


And, my neighbor is growing corn, and one of those show off squirrels brought over an empty corn husk....🌽🌽🌽

[C0LLETTE]

The "pet" did not poop or pee in the house today.

[Degotoga]

My cat was playing with my dog when out of nowhere she put a rapid fire beat down on my dog. I'm still laughing and my dog is still looking at the cat as if to say, "WTF was that all about?"

To help put the hilarity of this in perspective, my dog is a German Shepard/Cur mix and my cat is a whopping 6 lbs and only has 3 legs.

[nhplowboi]

Actually this is more like what they didn't do. :) A couple of days ago I was sitting in the living room with CNN on. The wife walks through and exclaims "Oh my God they are out!" Well with 2 naughty horses I can only think.....here we go. What....where are they? No she says......not the horses, she was talking about the Brexit!!!! LOL

[stargazingboi]

They hung out with me for the rest of the day...ok, I hung out with them. The littlest one was not herself today and I became concerned. She has seemed a little confused, didn't want to eat dinner and slept most of the day. She ate breakfast and lunch ok..but, no interest in dinner. So, I made her eggs...which she happily ate.

[ksrainbow]

So I have been eating many varieties of apples: some I like, some not so much.

So the ones I haven't enjoyed, I have been presenting to the local squirrels for their enjoyment. Mr. Mars did not see the apples I put out until two of the squirrels were jostling over one. One of the squirrels took one apple up the tree and the other guarding the second.

Mr. Mars watched for a very long time, then out of the blue: took off and chased the second squirrel up the tree :playingcat:

After numerous squirrel chattering: Mr. Mars laid upon the second apple and stared up the tree for the longest time. Mr. Mars gave up and left without saying a word.

If trees could talk.

[randrum]

My little monster started eating his (messy) bone on my leather couch while I was busy folding laundry. As a result, I had to clean the couch.

[stargazingboi]

hung outside with me and followed me around all morning, then chilled inside for the afternoon

[Chad]

The baby kitty wants all the pets right now!!!

Haha!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Diva Kitty and Tiny Dog spent the day separated. They both probably considered it a nice break . . .

Tiny Dog had an accident in the house this morning. She tried and tried to tell me she needed to go out, but I couldn't get dressed fast enough for her - so it wasn't her fault. However, I did not have time to bleach the floor before I went to work, so Tiny Dog had to stay in the kitchen all day, so she wouldn't walk on the dirty floor in the living room.

Tiny Dog politely supervised while I bleached the floor this evening. When I was done, she leaped across the clean floor and jumped up on the couch, like she had missed it all day.

So far, Diva Kitty and Tiny Dog have not communicated this evening, as far as I can tell, even though they are currently in the same room with me.

[Chad]

The baby kitty and I are dancing to Ladies Night by Kool & The Gang . Umm she needs to work on her moves. Haha.

[Gayandgray]

My girl and one of the boys chased toads and the other boy threw himself on me when I came home from the kennel and sniffed me from head to toe!!

[Chad]

Ever since the baby kitty have been alone she has become so bossy. She talks to me, even yells at me, she eats my food, and drinks my drinks. She thinks she owns my happy ass. Haha it is like being married. Haha

:cat:

[stargazingboi]

They chilled out for most of the day because I wasn't home, except to come in and feed them lunch and head back out. So, I took them for a nice drive and treated them to plain cheese burgers.

[Chad]

The baby kitty has decided that we should play fetch with her nurff football in the morning before work. Haha!

:playingcat:

[stargazingboi]

I had a doctors appt earlier and needed to get my mind on other things...so, the two little dogs went for a drive with me and are now chilling out on the bed

[~ocean]

I sang their good morning song via speaker phone ~ hearing them bark back to me made my day~:phonegab:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I finally broke down and combed the mats out of Kitty Diva's fur. She can usually keep up with her cleaning, but for some reason it recently got away from her and then it seemed like just overnight she had several mats. I hate to do it, because she hates it so much. I did it over several days, getting out just one at a time, so as not to irritate her too much. Now they're finally out, and she feels so much better! I mean, her fur feels better to me when I rub her, and I also mean, she personally feels more comfortable. She has been really loving since we got them out, probably because she feels like moving around again.

Tiny Dog is pleased because Kitty Diva is less irritable. There have been fewer dive-bombing nose swats.

[TL1]

I was just minding my own business and I guess the dog wanted to play. (We play wrestle) So suddenly she jumped at me when I wasn't looking. Scared the shit outta me!


But it's ok I managed to not have a heart attack.

[Blade]

He learned to eat blueberries. I can't imagine he'd never had them before, but I guess he hadn't.

[easygoingfemme]

Got in trouble is what they did!
The scene:
My dog, a 98 lb lab pit mix.
My girlfriends dog, a 60 lb border collie/lab mix
Me at home, my daughter in her room in lala land with headphones on- girlfriend out working on the road tonight- so just me in charge of the pups.
The dogs play really really well together. So good together. And they usually run around my back yard and play until they collapse.
Today though... they were playing playing playing, chasing each other around and then... they took off and terrorized the neighborhood. Bolted down the street. One of my neighbors caught my dog and held onto him while I chased the other through three neighbors yards. She chased a cat up a tree, got into it with another neighbors dog who is a huge police trained shepherd and round about again back to the neighbor who had my dog. Another neighbor stepped in to help hold my dog as he was too much for the nice neighbor lady who had him.
Then after getting them both I had to take both of them by their collars and walk home with them each pulling and leaping trying to get away.
Get to my house, go to open the front door. It's locked. Ringing the bell ringing the bell, knocking- why would my kid hear that? Oh, I don't know. But she didn't. So then I had to haul the dogs around the house to the back door that I knew was open.
Annoyed at myself for not asking neighbor dude to help me get them home. I have fresh stitches and was afraid I was going to pop them. But I didn't.

[JDeere]

Mine actually laid still and took a nap with me in bed, she doesn't normally lay still but she must have been worn out from going to the groomer, this morning.

[TL1]

She threw up 3 times :|



She's acting fine though

[Zimmeh]

Give her some rice, that will help sttle her tummy. Hope she is feeling better!

[Rockinonahigh]

5:00 a.m. this morning my youngest woke the house with ear splitting noise I ever herd from her, she hit the high hunt so the chase was on. If anyone has herd a jack russel on the run will know what I mean. There was no talking her out of it as my other pup was in it to I knew something was up. Finely it all quit as quick as it started. I'm still wondering what it was.

[TL1]

Give her some rice, that will help sttle her tummy. Hope she is feeling better!

Thanks for the tip! :)

You are welcome.

[Kenna]

The new Apoquel meds are working, so he felt like playing with his froggie for the first time in over a year. I was so happy to watch him have fun and play hard without being miserable with his allergies.

It feels wonderful to see him feeling better. He had a great time wrestling with my roommate and making me laugh when he'd do something funny to make my roommate cringe.

[bright_arrow]

They let me successfully brush three of them, and clips nails on two of them (out of five) without scratching my eyes out in retaliation

[Medusa]

Bella, Golden Retriever, Age 11 months

I let her sleep with me last night and made the mistake of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. When I came back into my completely darkened room and tried to get into bed, I discovered that she had made herself at home on my pillow...

and then GROWLED at me when I asked her to move!

SUCH a Princess!

[Zimmeh]

My girl got a bath and tail fur trim! Tomorrow she will be getting her flea treatment applied.

[cinnamongrrl]

My boxer baby boy apparently didn't like the tassels that were (were being a key word here) on my couch's throw pillow...he chewed off 2 of the four.

I didn't buy the pillow for the tassles though. I bought It for the elephants on the pillow...so I guess I have to amputate two tassles now huh

[Chad]

The baby kitty has super long fine fur and recently has started getting knots in her fur so I am becoming a reluctant cat groomer. I am not sure why at 10 years old she started getting knots in her fur.

:rollcat:

[Rockinonahigh]

A hint for detangling knots and what have you on long haired pets. When I was still showing horses I used something called show sheen that is real good to keep hair shiny and mains and tails knot free as possible, it is best when sprayed on damp combed out hair but can be used with out being brushed out just dampen the hair first. What I like about it is that it keeps the dirt and trash from sticking to the skin as well as hair. A big gallon jug cost me about $40.00 back then but it can be bought in smaller bottles for way less. If you have a big old wad of hair all snagged up just spray a lot on the snag, let it set then take a small knitting needle then hair by hair you can detangle the mess.

:rollcat:

I've had several long-haired cats get this way as they grow older. It's like they just don't have the energy to groom that much fur any more, or they've lost interest, or something. In any case, as my cats have gotten older, I have groomed them too.

(Did you know that the surface area that the average cat has to clean, including all the sides of every single hair, is enough surface area to cover two football fields?)

Happy grooming -

[cinnamongrrl]

They had a bad day...

I was very preoccupied with a massive project..I didn't go near the kitchen so I didn't know they all were out of food and water...but they all did come and go freely as I toiled.

I think I'm forgiven; yoda gave me a big slurpy kiss after he got a nice drink...

[MitchM42]

My pups lied on the sofa with me until the heat subsided. Then we prayed in the yard with a neighbor dog. Now they are worn slap out!

[cinnamongrrl]

They are both very sweet and curious about the teeny tiny dog I took in (ie stole) from My neighbors.

Poor thing is 5 lbs maybe and they leave her alone outside for days with no food water or shelter. I don't care the consequences ; she's not going back.

I'm sure the boys are jealous; she's in my bed right now. But she needed a quiet place to adjust. Now I just need to figure out a doggie babysitter for the day...

[easygoingfemme]

The cats are desperate to catch up on belly rubs after being home alone for 2 1/2 days and the dog is sleeping off 2 1/2 days of camping by a lake where he swam laps day and night.

[Gayandgray]

My smallest Boston, Bo, got himself a case of pancreatitis. He is a special needs dog to begin with, and when he gets sick or upset he is just beside himself and can have terrible seizures.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

After I climb in bed, I call Tiny Dog and tell her it's time to sleep. The first thing I see is just her tail, bobbing along beyond the foot of my bed. Then she appears on the side closest to me, and oh joy! It's time for head rubs.

Diva Kitty sits in the hallway, looking at us snarkily, wondering if she'll get a better offer.

[Zimmeh]

You can pick up a wet brush from Sally's Beauty Supply. I have one for my pup and it works very well. It doesn't pull on her fur and she enjoys it.

Zimmeh

The baby kitty has super long fine fur and recently has started getting knots in her fur so I am becoming a reluctant cat groomer. I am not sure why at 10 years old she started getting knots in her fur.

:rollcat:

[TL1]

Ate another chew toy. Is there anything that's actually strong enough to where it's not chewed to pieces (or eaten) within a few days to a week tops? Lol

They need to test them on this dog before claiming otherwise.

beef bones u get at the grocery stores ~ their raw and delicious to a dog get the larger size ones. When they become dry several weeks later throw them out . Their great for training dogs as well they chew the bone merril not your house.

The baby kitty is in my lap with her paw in my hand. Purring.

:rollcat:

[cinnamongrrl]

They played nicely with the neighbor's dog when he came to visit ( we used to be roomies many moons ago!)

[Chad]

The baby kitty is sitting next to me enjoying pets. She gained weight and now has to diet. Shhhh....don't tell her it is a diet. Haha! We are giving her kisses instead of snacks.

:cat:

[JDeere]

Mine barfed in the house a total of 8 times. She has been overeating lately, so I think that's the cause, we now have to pick up the food bowls so she won't overeat.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog has been very pleased to find that she is the lucky recipient of all of my Pop-Tart crusts. (You know, the corners where there's no gooey filling, and no frosting?)

[Gemme]

It could be parasites too. Hope your furbaby feels better.

[deeds]

It could be parasites too. Hope your furbaby feels better.It could be..I just hate giving them medication they don't need tho, or at all really..Besides that, I went to de-worm this kitten and forgot my fine print reading glasses:| and it turned out to be for round worms . What is the difference?

[Brisa]

My cat is at it again......she's been going on top of the fridge and curling up.

[deeds]

LoL



Ok..she is up there again..sleeping. What a life................

[deeds]

My little black kitty came back today.

[Brisa]

Aww...she is safe and sound.

[deeds]

Aww...she is safe and sound.
Well..Partly I'll say..She ate good and slept long,now she is gone again.

[Medusa]

The pups established their pecking order pretty early on when they met one another but today was amazing because they both had an eight hour car ride and no blood was shed!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog is helping me eat my feeling about the election results coming in. I am having chips and salsa - she is having chips only, the broken ones. No salsa for doggies!

Kitty Diva is interested in neither chips, salsa, nor election results.

[Chad]

My sweetheart got the baby kitty a lazer pointer tonight. We are all having big fun playing with the pointer.


:playingcat:

[deeds]

My kitty is learning how to sneak in and out of the back way without blowing her cover..She's so smart..

[Brisa]

LOL



My kitty fit her entire body in the tissue box with head hanging over the side.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog is slightly worried about the construction guys working outside the house every day, but for the most part she has gotten used to it. She had a short moment of panic when they had to come inside to do some work in the attic, but it didn't take them long, and she is fine now. Kitty Diva is not bothered by the construction sounds at all.

I wish I was as cool, calm and collected as my pets.

[cinnamongrrl]

They got a new sister!

The little dog I stole a while back was sadly found by her owners, but they're moving and gave her to my old roomie. I asked if I could have her and he was happy to find her a home.

Yay for the win win.

She had a bath and a good meal and I made her a spot all her own which she loves.

The cat....is not so happy about this. But Bitsy needs to learn she is a friend and not food. (The cat doesn't realize she's bigger than the dog)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog expanded her Epicurian horizons today. She likes toasted coconut chips!

Kitty Diva . . . well, I didn't even try it. It wouldn't have been worth the death stare.

[Chad]

The baby kitty wants to cuddle and purr.

My older kitty that passed away would follow the work men around to supervise their work. She even got skilled at climbing the ladder to the attic. Pets are silly but fun. I am sorry tiny dog got upset.

My kitty is bein a good lil girl today for a change lol

lol//// She whines when i take her out of the sink.

[deeds]

lol//// She whines when i take her out of the sink.is it the coolness they like I wonder? Or the water?This little kitty is fascinated when I flush the commode.

[Brisa]

lol cute



I'm not sure...her habits always change when the weather gets cooler.

[Chad]

Winter has arrived in Texas, I think I need more kitties to keep warm. The baby kitty is on my lap purring. :)

[Chad]

The baby kitty is still in bed snoozing. I wish that I was too.

[pumpndude]

they went outside did there thing , then I played catch with my rott (Cherokee) and my husky/malamute (bear) stayed by me....

My rott always puts his ball in his mouth if he thinks I'm going outside...I have good dogs..:hangloose:

[easygoingfemme]

The dog has just been sleeping in my bed all day except for going outside to go to the bathroom and nose his food around a couple times.

The cats harassed me for treats this morning. Then they all sprawled out on the new daybed and slept there for a few hours, then they slept upstairs, then they slept downstairs on the daybed, then they went upstairs and spread out and slept more.

Bunch of freeloading bums here.

[JDeere]

We had to buy non slip socks for my parent's dog, she has back issues and trouble walking on the slick tile floor in the house. She looks like she has knickers on.

My dog went on an adventure without me as well, I think she escapes simply so that she can take a ride in the truck.

[Soft*Silver]

I have a 9 month old pup named Moon Unit Zappa. She looks like a border collie but is a cross between a Mareema (italian version of great pyranees) and an english shepard, both herding breeds. She is all pup yet and a joy to my soul.

Today she ate my hair dye

I left it on my end table, and when I returned to my recliner, she had opened the box, bit thru the clear stuff and was working on the colorant. Oh by god by jezzus! :jester: I was scared to death but she hadnt gotten any IN her, and my hubbie got it up off the rug for me while I tended to the dog.

I told her she was not allowed to color her hair until she was older. She was not amused....because she promptly ate one of the grand daughters spatula's from the kitchencenter...

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tiny Dog has just pushed her food around in her bowl today. She _thinks_ some of those leftovers are going to be for her, but she thinks wrong.

Even Kitty Diva was intrigued by the smells. She's usually ambivalent.

[deeds]

My sweet little kitty, in ninja style,jumped on the back of my recliner and snatched me up by the hair of my head and said "Bitch, you better never splash me with water again" :blink:

[Brisa]

Got up..walked into kitchen to make coffee..and the kitty was sitting and staring at me. I said to her..."What did you do now?" Then made coffee.

[Chad]

Now that it is cold in Texas the baby kitty wants to stay in bed late in the morning. I get in trouble with her for making the bed too early. Ugg.

[bright_arrow]

Meowed, and meowed, and meowed at the gate until we turned the space heater on in the living room and now they are cuddling. :jester:

[cinnamongrrl]

Bitsy started barking her head off as soon as I got in the shower...love when that happens

[Chad]

The baby kitty wants to go to bed but I keep trying to finish my work. I think she is disappointed. You know that it is cold in Texas when the kitty wants to sleep under the covers. Haha!

[Chad]

The baby kitty is getting in as much lap time as possible.

Our morning routine is sweet, when I go to the batheoom sink to comb my hair she jumps up on the counter and begs to have her fur combed too. She is so cute!

[cinnamongrrl]

They taste tested the sweet potato treats I made them :)

[RockOn]

Jennifer and Kevin played hard outside today most of the day. They were perfectly behaved ... in fact all weekend. Neither lost privileges by having to be made to go inside and time out. No more running off into the woods by themselves. There is no danger now but here is the plan ... we are practicing for warm weather when the slithering ones come out of hibernation.

[Zimmeh]

Babygirl took a very long nap after her bath. She received a special treat for letting me bathe her :)

Zimmeh

[Blade]

Sbe stole a pack of ketchup out of my lunch box. Thankfully she did not puncture it. It was still in tact when I found it.

[Chad]

I just walked in from a long day and the baby kitty is running and jumping off the furniture high into the air. She is singing to me as she runs through the house looking back at me as if to say common dad let's play. I think she missed me and I know that I missed her.

:playingcat:

[Blade]

Lets just say he in doggie jail, and leave it at that

[cinnamongrrl]

Little bitsy snuck her 3 favorite toys into my bed...

I went to go turn it down and there they were lol. I don't know if she was trying to say she wanted to go to bed or if she was just being sweet and sharing. It was adorable either way... :)

[Soft*Silver]

my baby girl pup, Moon, came into her first heat. She is so needy, climbing halfway into my lap (she is a big dog), she leans her face against my heart and wants comfort from me. I have never had a dog so emotional like she is. I dont want to anthropomorphize but how can I not when she does things like this!

[cinnamongrrl]

They were very curious about an injured turtle I found and brought home.

Now they're all munching on smoked hocks I got while I was at the store getting the turtle some hamburger. (He or she is a small snapper)

[Chad]

The baby kitty is doing her hoover impression by eating fuzz off the floor. Silly kitty.

Tonight a couple of wolf spiders came into my house. They are harmless but entertaining. The baby kitty had the best time chasing them around the house. Silly kitty.

[FireSignFemme]

- Batted wrapping paper around

- Cried to go out umpteen times

- Changed mind each time door was opened revealing - still snow out there

- Ate healthy food

- Ate some more healthy food

- Still begged for cat treats

- Slept in new cat perch condo/hangout Santa brought

- Chased new catnip ball Santa brought around and around

- Exhausted zonked out on new garish Christmas print fleecy throw

- Chased tail

- Perched statue still, like a gargoyle, peering down on mere pissant mortals below from high places

- Shredded old scratching post a bit

- Shredded new scratching post more

- Head butted slave for letting the keyboard have all her attention

- As soon as relenting, slave paused to give full attention, ran away and ignored slave until slave got busy involved engrossed in typing again. Then came over to investigate, interfere and head butt some more. When slave again paused ran away. Repeated ad nauseam/seemingly world without end amen

- Batted some dice onto the floor and swatted them around with his paw till they disappeared under the stove - Viva Las Vegas!

And to think according to kitty time, the night's still young. :ballcat:

[Kenna]

One old doggie has taught the other, much older doggie to do The Belly Crawl... it's too funny and cracks me up because he adds his extra flair to it by making his back legs paddle like he's swimming. For two old dogs, they sure have had fun doing this several mornings in a row.

[Gemme]

I wouldn't call the wolf spider harmless. The bite is not lethal but it is painful and toxic. Good thing no one got bit.

Meowee is a wild cat. Something bad in them woods got after her and she found me doing laundry one night.I didn't look for her to make it but she has healed right up and she is one badass of a cat..She understands me and she talks to me too..:)

So..This morning, bright and early. I decide I'm going to mcdonalds..Meowee followed me to the car and jumped right in..I bet she don't do that anymore..lol
But she was good for the most part, she got off my head when I told her to..She was extremely happy to get back home tho..

I'm getting her a leash soon.

[cricket26]

we puppy sat the grand puppies last nite and i felt like i was caring for 2 human babies...i was up twice during the nite....

[Blade]

While carrying gifts to my truck this morning my chickens we're trying to pick holes in the bags because of the sparkling glitter on the bags. They were about to piss me off wandering around under my feet about to trip me up not to mention the possible holes in the bags

[Chad]

The baby kitty keeps yelling at me to play. It may be time for a kitten to keep her company.

[cinnamongrrl]

He wasn't a pet but I released the turtle I found. The weather took a warm turn and the naturalist I consulted said it was his best option. Done and done. I hope he thrives...

The dogs enjoyed his leftover hamburger (with rice) mixed into their food. I also included some sweet potato since I made a mammoth one.

We also had a very nice hike in a new woods.

And...last but not least...Bitsy has become a woman...time to see about spaying her. She's being a bit of a floozy with her brother....ick

[FireSignFemme]

Well I don't know if it zonked Monte out as it put me right to sleep. But what I do know is even if it didn't make him sleep, it at least helped to calm him down. This because for the first time in forever he didn't wait for me to fall asleep and then jump and hop around all over my body, as if to say - Dance mere peasant mortal fool, dance, it's party time - let's rumba!!!

I found a lost, elderly dog this morning at the grocery store..

The dogs are all welcoming her pretty well..Yoda is a bit too curious for my liking...

Not sure how she is with cats yet either.

Her name is Aria. Her family didn't update their phone number on her microchip. They are tracking her down but I got to the animal shelter just before closing. Hopefully all will be ok overnight...

Haha! Purrfect.......

They slept a lot, tried to trip me a few times, licked their private parts, and slept more. Oh, and there was serious belly rub begging.

[cinnamongrrl]

Update:

They found the elderly dog's owner...but they won't answer any of their calls. Apparently they've dumped her.

I know nothing about her and she's now in my care. Its either that or surrender her to the pound. We we're there for a mere twenty minutes while they scanned her and she was a shaky, scared mess.

Why are people so fucking awful.

Its one of my life goals to start a rescue for elderly, disabled and infirmed dogs..

A little sooner than I planned I guess. The only problem is the poor old girl is scared of yoda and won't join us in the living area. She stays in the back bedroom. Which. My daughter will return to in just a few days when she gets back from Florida

Sigh

SUCH a sweet dog She just let me rub her tummy for the first time awwww

[MysticOceansFL]

My cocker spaniel slept half on her doggy bed and half on the floor! Guess she was comfortable!?!

[RockOn]

I took Kevin and Jennifer on a very long walk before daylight this morning. Then it started raining and has rained all day. I have opened the back door at least 20 times today when the rain reduced itself to a light drizzel to see if they wanted to negotiate a few drops. They would go out briefly and then head for the back door. Thank goodness santa brought them 2 packs of nylabones with 3 to each package. These are holding up very well and they are helping somewhat with the pouty faces.

Lets just say they was both bad and so I made them sleep in their kennels last night instead of with me

[Chad]

The baby kitty is laying in the sun on her back with her tummy in the air. Silly kitty.


:rollcat:

[cinnamongrrl]

Happy update!!!

The elderly dogs owner was found (after being out of town and leaving her with a friend) and he is SO super happy to be picking her up shortly!

He's in an awkward situation homewise and my neighbor is willing to keep her if need be. He's so grateful and was so sweet on the phone.

I feel bad for all the awful things I thought and probably said about her being "dumped".

Goals for 2017...

Restore faith in humanity CHECK!!!

[cinnamongrrl]

The elderly dog, named Arya, is staying with my neighbor for the time being. Her owner is coming to visit and walk her and such. I took her and my neighbor's dog for a nice walk today. She's a doll.

My dogs were happy to have me home. We had quality snuggle time :)

[Chad]

The baby kitty and I are playing catch with her Nurff football during breaks from the Packers game.

:ballcat:

[cinnamongrrl]

Kitty Eleanor has been indoors more with the snow..

So...

Her cat box is in the bathroom...and it just so happened we both needed to go potty at the same time...

I told her I would avert my gaze since I know from having cats most of my life that they prefer that...

Well...while I was averting my gaze I felt her looking at me...so I looked at her...and sure enough. She was watching me pee while she peed.

That...is love my friends.

[Chad]

The baby kitty and I are playing catch. She loves it when I throw her toys high in the air so that she can catch them like a outfielder in baseball.

Big fun!

Diva Kitty came to take a nap with me today, and in so doing she tripped over my daily pill sorter. I didn't realize until after our nap that she had accidentally opened 6 of the 14 compartments and spilled various pills all over the bunched-up bedspread. It took awhile to figure out which ones were missing from which compartments and find them all, while trying not to move around too much.

Fortunately, I found them all, and neither Diva Kitty nor Tiny Dog ate any.

Later in an unrelated incident, Tiny Dog decided that me tossing laundry across my bedroom into a pile was too stimulating. She opted to nap in the hallway while I cleaned up my bedroom.

Thank goodness you found all the medicine. I am sure that must have upset you. I hope you feel better knowing that you found all the medicine.

My cat likes to hang out by the windowsill, watch moving cars and motorcycle excites him lol

[cinnamongrrl]

My poor pets were alone for 20 hours because my coworker decided to bail on her job...apparently not for the first time.

They did well as far as using the paper I put down just in case. But poor Jacques got locked in my daughter's room when I went in for socks and he had no food or water for the duration. That hurts my heart more than anything.. :(

[deeds]

Meowee- My kitty,

is trying her best to not wake me up at 3am to eat, even tho I do leave her dry food out before I go to bed at night, she just eats that and wants more before daybreak.
So this morning I heard her in the kitchen trying her best to knock over and rip into her bag of food, it sounded like all hell was breaking loose.
Even tho I still had to get up and feed her.. at least she refrained screaming at me so blatantly in my face so early in the morning.
It's progress, slowly but surely..
I wouldn't mind so bad if she could at least have a cup of coffee made and waiting for me to stumble into the kitchen.

[Tommi]

Ricki Racer watched the Roomba pushing around her favorite toy, until ...it got swept up. :playingcat:

Take a pipe cleaner, wind around a pencil, like a spring, with the pointy ends tucked in (remove from pencil) toss and cats love to catch it midair and fetch. :hangloose:


Her Cheap kurly q toys, favored over pet store mice, etc. have lasted years. She does stretch them out now and then, and I just rewind into a spring.
She bats them around, then brings them to me, for me to toss, she :: leaves them on the bed, in the bathroom and by my feet if I am working.

The baby kitty and I are playing catch with her Nurff football while we watch the game on TV.

Kevin and Jennifer were in and out, in and out all day long. I let them stay on my heels, even when I went momentarily inside for a pair of pliers. Jennifer got one time-out. I made her go inside for awhile because she wandered too far outside their play area. She knew better, did it anyway. I calmly explained why she had to go inside. Jennifer is smart, she knew exactly what I said. Overall, she has improved a great deal. She doesn't go running off in the woods by herself anymore to visit her friends next door - which is a long hike through dense woods.

[cinnamongrrl]

I've noticed that my boxer Yoda actually takes in the views when we hike to a mountain overlook. He's done it so many times now. He stands and surveys the surroundings. Takes it in. He's my Zen doggie.

Jacques did great on the long hike. He got tired (or cold) on a hike this weekend that was only 1.5 miles. He asked me to carry him at the half way point and I was worried. And yes, he has a way of asking me.

It was Bitsys first time on this mountain. She's barely a year old. She wasn't even tired when we got back to the car. The boys were snoring on the couch within 10 minutes of getting home.

Oh and they all did well meeting a fellow hiker that was going up as we were coming down. Super proud mom!

Pouty faces at dinnertime.

Trying out grain-free with no wet food mixed in. After I put their bowls of food in front of them, they looked into their bowls, both looked up at me wearing pouty face. I made my dinner, CoCo Puffs cereal in milk. It looked like what I gave them, little round dark balls. After noticing the similar looks, I held my bowl down, gave them a glimpse of mine and told them we would be eating the same dinner. Both shoved their faces into their bowls and munched until every bit was gone.

[Martina]

The cats decided to chase each other in my room at 5:30 AM. *sigh*

[Chad]

The baby kitty has been working on her football game today catching long throws and making touchdowns with her Nurff football. She is ready for tomorrow's big game.

:ballcat:

[FireSignFemme]

Monte is currently on a hunger strike, picking at his wet food and refusing anything but handfuls of Temptations cat treats which I'm slowly weaning him off of.

Baby wants to explore the garage in the middle of the night. So she stands by the door to the garage and yowls. Most of the time, I am too deeply asleep to hear (I assume), but sometimes I am not, and, foolishly, I oblige her. I can't wait to get that doggy door installed so she can come and go at will. Also so I can move the litter out there. Why, I wonder, is the garage only intetesting at night?

[Brisa]

My kitty looks like she's up to no good...lol we'll see.

[easygoingfemme]

Two of my cats have habits of hanging out in the shower and in the bathroom in general. But not usually together. I went to go in there this morning and the door was 3/4 of the way shut. I was like, hmmm, because my daughter was still in bed and there's just me left so... slowly opened the door and they were playing hide and seek in there. One hiding in the shower and the other about to pounce on him.

The dog managed to track mud in the house even after I wiped his paws off when he came in from playing outside.

[cinnamongrrl]

My boxer Yoda NEVER comes in my room. He rarely has in the year and a half he's been with me.

Last night a small thunderstorm came up. I heard the first clap of thunder and before it was over my bedroom door was being pushed open very swiftly.

He came to my side of the bed and just let me pet him. That seemed enough, but he put his paws on the bed. I couldn't convince him to get on the bed...but I put a dog bed down on the floor next to me. I don't know how long he stayed there; he was gone when I woke up.

I love that he's a big dog but still my baby <3

[Blade]

SHIT ON THE PORCH! I have since unfriended them both,
(2 former pet chickens)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Diva Kitty is fascinated by the window I've been leaving open at night. The temperature has been perfect for sleeping. (It has a screen on it.) I don't think she's ever had a night-time window open to sit in front of before. It's also on a really high side of the house, so I think she really likes being up so high.

Tiny Dog is getting white fur around her feet. She's had it on her chin and under her nose for awhile now. It's really cute.

[Chad]

The baby kitty was excited when I got home and wanted to play catch right away.

:playingcat:

[cinnamongrrl]

Today I took Arya, (the dog I found in a parking lot and found her owner a week later....only to find he can't have her where he's living...so my neighbor and I share custody of her..)for a hike with my 3 other dogs. :blink:

Fortunately, I have a nice spot that is infrequently frequented and I can let them off the leash. (All but Bitsy. She's a wild one).

So...we're going up the mountain and Arya suddenly darts off the path up the hillside into some brush. Yoda looked after her completely incredulous. I could read his thoughts just by looking at him. He had NO IDEA this whole time that you could go somewhere besides the trail. He paused for a good ten seconds and then quickly followed her.

Yoda has been iffy about Arya because she's bigger than him. But this hike opened a new door. Before long the two were walking side by side exploring together <3

Jacques got very frisky along the way. BIG difference from yesterday when I had to carry him down a (albeit bigger) mountain. I need to realize my little lamb is old. He'll be 12 in April.

As an addendum.. Arya is 11...
And she left ALL of us in the dust today. Atta girl :)

[Chad]

Lately the baby kitty wants to play and play. Last night we played catch for an hour.

She loves to play with her Nurff football and "her baby" a small stuffed animal. She makes me laugh and laugh. Silly kitty.

:ballcat:

[Lyte]

Couple weeks ago I went to find me an older cat to adopt. I've not had any pets for a while. Well, I got a little carried away and came home with two older brothers (couldn't split them) and then a another from a different litter. Yeah... I know... I know... seriously?! lol :jester:

Everyone's pretty well settled in so there will be some amusing tails ... or tales... soon. :p

[Chad]

There is a new baby kitty at the ranch. I found her today at Petsmart she came from Paws. She is one year old, black and white short hair with a cute pink nose, and very sweet.

The two kitties have not met yet but I am sure that they will have a blast together.

[Lyte]

One of my new beasts need a name. I don't name my pets right off. Usually a name comes to me within a couple of weeks. But a name for this guy aludes me.

His (temp) names are... Pest... Pesty... Fucker... Fuckery... and occasionally, when he's being a lil sweet... Punk.

He's a lil terror to the other two cats. He's playful but too rough and doesn't stop when they've clearly had enough. And he's a lil shit with me too sometimes! But... when he's tired out... he's the sweetest angel! He'll come lay in my chest, purr like an F16, massage my throat with his claws, suck on my earlobe and go to sleep. It's pretty clear he was taken from his mom and litter mates too soon. Iol

That of course is the short list of his behaviors. I'm thinking MAYBE he's so contradictory (sp) because he's teething. I've just never had a pet go so long without a name coming to mind.

The other two have been dubbed... Chewy because he's the color of Chewbacca and he's the biggest and mellowest of the three. Then we have Grover which started out as Rover because he'll keeping crying till I throw a certain ping pong ball for him, he loves to fetch and he.loves to have his belly rubbed. Clearly a dog in a former life! :p

Anyway... anyone else ever have a punkish type cat? Names?? ;)

Near.....far. Near....far.

lol

Well, what are his markings? Sometimes I've named pets for their markings. I had one cat that was black and white splotched but he had a perfectly formed upside down exclamation point on his nose so I named him Picasso. He was one of my favorites; a big ole love bug. His sister, Tigger, was so named because she was a tortie and her face was split exactly down the middle and had a tiger's markings on one side.

There was one cat I had that took a bit of time for his name to come and then there were several adaptions so it wound up, a few months later, being something completely different. He was completely black and we started with Wolfgang and called him Wolfy and then it somehow found it's way to Nadir by way of Wolfinator and then Nadir. Seeing as how he was black and one of the definitions is in relation to a low point on a celestial sphere, that sounded fairly accurate. He was a strange one but I think it had more to do with his birth. He was the last one out, Oreo was exhausted and had had enough, so she stood up and turned around and wacked his back end, which was hanging out, against the giant floor speakers we had in the living room. I tried to get her to settle down but she kept turning back and forth and knocking him around until he finally slid out.

We had another bunch of siblings also and they were completely identical...all grey tabbies. We had to color code their collars until we learned their personalities and named them.

The runt became Zona (short for Arizona) because we'd loved our visit there and a small baby deserved a big name, the one male was so chill we really had no choice but to name him Zen, one of the girls had a bit of narcolepsy but loved to karate kick everyone and so we named her Nikita, the Narcoleptic Kitty, but we had a similar problem as you with the last girl.

She was sweet but kind of middle the road; not too rabblerousing and not too relaxed. We struggled with naming her and were getting a bit frustrated with it all and we were talking about how patience was a virtue and then, BAM. Her name became Virtue. She also liked to suckle earlobes and would wedge herself between our shoulder and jaw and just sit there in ball for hours if we'd let her. She also had an inclination for suckling fingers too. Same litter and she was the only one of the siblings that had that fetish.

Of course, I prefer to go outside of the box when naming my pets and you may veer more traditional.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Diva Kitty got a mouthful of Vaseline today. She's been having hairball issues. Poor kitty! I know it makes her miserable to hack-hack-hack over and over. She's not fond of Vaseline either, but she clearly doesn't believe me when I tell her it will make her feel better.

Tiny Dog kept a wary distance, even though I assured her the Vaseline was not for her.

[Buckaroo]

I caught my dog tearing up pictures of Trump!!! Nevermind the fact i leave them laying about for her to do that.! Gives me a tiny bit of satisfaction

They make treats that will help you with her hairballs. I used to have a couple of long-haired Persian mixes and had that problem too.

Kitty Eleanor is very curious about small places...I always say she is looking for a place to have imaginary kittens. (She's spayed)

So today I was putting laundry away and she got on the dresser to peek into it. Later I went in again and she was cuddled up in the drawer. It was too cute for words....

[Chad]

The new kitten had fun running and playing today. The baby kitty is sulking a little because of the kitten. It will be okay when a new feline comes into the pride there is always a period of adjustment.

[nhplowboi]

Okay, we have recently acquired another customer's pet because they were struggling to care for her. They are an elderly couple and it was just becoming too much for them. She is a 27 year old Blue and Gold Macaw named Willow. :blink: We know, we know, believe me! This morning as Bevi drove up the driveway, the dogs gave Bevi their usual four dog barky salute/window greeting. I was in a different room and what do I hear from Willow but a loud, "Knock it off!". A minute passes and of course the dogs continue barking because Bevi is still not through the door yet. Now comes another loud admonishment, "Knock it off!!". The barking continues and Willow, at her little parrot brain wit's end, screams, "Shut up!!" Rude I know, but I couldn't help but laugh.

Diva Kitty can open drawers! Her favorite is one next to the bathtub. She stands on the tub, hooks her paws around the drawer edge, and pulls it out. She then uses it as a step to get on the bathroom counter.

Thank goodness Tiny Dog can NOT open drawers.

[DapperButch]

Today Mr. Potato :dog: ate a LARGE protein bar. Like 7 inches long, a couple inches wide, and half an inch in height. I had taken a bite and then left it on a table next to my recliner. I went out to the grocery store and I found the empty package, in the middle of the kitchen floor when I returned, "clean as a whistle". The package had traveled quite a way from the table the protein bar was sitting on. I am still not sure how he had even gotten to it.

[RockOn]

Jennifer and Kevie played exceptionly hard. They came in a little before dark. I fixed their dinners. They have flopped in rhe bed..

Ya nut, why are you wasting money on Trump pictures......LOL

[Lyte]

I like Grover! Near.....far. Near....far. Lol Well, what are his markings?

Thank you! Grover proved his name this morning! Damn!! I bought this ping pong ball shooter which came with 10 (glow in the dark) balls. He's lost all but three and he keeps losing those under doors (closet, bedrooms laundry room) or under the china cabinet and will then scream bloody murder until I retrieve is and then throw it for him! I swear he knocks them under them on purpose just to see me FETCH them myself! lol :blink:

F's colors... well, I'm going to post some pics. All three are different shades or marmalade (orange) and F's is the lightest of color... almost a buff (I think it's called) color.

Let's me post some pics of these beasts! :)

Buster? Carmello? Milo? Toby? Harley?

How about Loki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki)? If he's as mischievous as you say, that might be appropriate.

Chester the Molester?

Jinx? Morris? Zeus? Charlie? Thor?

Mars, for the god of war since he turns play into battle?

Pip? Dexter? Bailey? Chance? Socks?

Houston, we have a problem?

Jake? Sonny/Sunny? Julian? Moses (reverse psychology?)?

I can do this all day.

Like any of these?

My babydog Hella Bellarella is having surgery as we speak. I'm worried and have anxiety but still telling myself she will be fine. She should be out in an hour and I'll try not to pull my hair out until then.

((((((((Ang))))))))))))))))))) Bella is in great hands & will come through this surgery well! You are a good & loving mommie & your concern is for your baby. But she is going to do swell....I believe & have faith in goddesses to carry her safely through.....this afternoon she will be home & expecting AND getting lots of kisses from you!!

[nhplowboi]

I am sitting in the kitchen with Willow and we are watching/listening to the news. The phone starts to ring and I can see by the number it is a telemarketer. Every time the phone rings, Willow answers with, "Hello.". I proceeded to explain to her about telemarketers, as the phone continued to ring and she continued to say, "Hello.". When the phone finally stopped ringing, she stopped helloing and I stopped explaining, she gave me a long chuckle. I think that bird was busting on me!

Monte is all snuggled up in his holiday print fleecy throw picked up at an after Christmas sale. I decided to crochet an edge around it to pretty it up for gift giving next year and went in search of yarn. When I returned, less than two full minutes later, there he was on top of it all hunkered down. Defiantly refusing to budge and looking up at me as if to say – Oh yeah? Make me! As if he didn’t already have a large enough collection of season appropriate, fleecy blankets of his own. I reached for it. He looked at me with a warning scowl, as if to say - Back away from the blanket and nobody needs to get hurt. I thought - Okay then, so Christmas in February it is. Still even though I realized resistance on my part would be futile, I did attempt my best to reason with him one last time, imploring – But what of the poor children in true need living in poverty next Christmas? Staring unconcernedly up at me indifferent, he turned his head away as if to say – So what of it? Let them eat cake! Then without a worry, care, concern in the world, he promptly passed right out.

She's out and everything went well! I got to go see her at lunch and will bring her home in the morning. Thank goodness for talented vets and resilient little furballs!

5:30am. Pitch black and freezing out. Snowed all night and still coming down. I'm barefoot in my jammies and my dog gets tied up on his runner around a part of a tree that fell overnight. So I had to throw on the freezing cold snow boots that were out on the back porch and waddle out there in the cold and dark with snow pouring down to untangle him. He didn't even say thank you.

One of my cats threw up on my daughters bed.

That's about it.

[Lyte]

I like Jinks and Mars! I'm going to try those on for size for a bit. Thank you!! :)

Not really a pet, but, we have a bunch of bunnies that live on the land around here. My next door neighbor came knocking on my door about an hour ago- which scared me, cause it's late, to tell me that there was a bunny stuck in the fence between our yards. It had been running from her dogs and got stuck. My daughter, my neighbor, and I were able to bend the rods in the fencing and ease her out. Poor little bunny!

[Bèsame*]

Confetti kitty not to happy with me today. I took her to the vet, she got her ear dug in, an antibiotic shot and ten claws trimmed. Poor little kitty has a sinus infection.

She will be back loving me in a few days.

[Medusa]

Bella has a routine every morning when I make coffee. My Keurig is next to the sink and I stand on a little rug as I'm filling it with water. Every single morning, Bella waits for me to stand on the rug and start fiddling with the coffee pot and inevitably I will feel her sit her entire hairy ass on my foot with her back lengthened against my leg.

She leans against me and looks up with those biggo brown eyes and I can't help but lean down and snuggle her as the coffee starts dripping.

I've read in a couple of places that dogs do this to show they trust you. It's a pretty sweet feeling.

[clay]

Hope, who is my little senior dachshund whom is blind. She is staying with my BFF's while I am away. They call me every day with the daily Hope report.

She is a really sweet dog to have come from the deplorable conditions she did. She was a hoarder's animal...one of the SIXTY who lived inside & none had ever gone outside...a neighbor reported the people to Animal Welfare who went out with deputies....the conditions that were described. I do NOT call her their pet NOR was she in a HOME. They were told to get rid of x number of the animals AND to clean that pig sty up OR have ALL the animals removed AND evict the people.

So Hope & a male dachshund, whom she was bred with..were put inside a plastic tote, duct taped shut, & left overnight at a shelter.

Her name was "Mabel"...I renamed her Hope...as I wanted her to have hope for a much better quality of life after the shitty first 8 years AND she was bringing hope to me for happier times to come my way once again. It was a shitty summer for me as well.

So, anyway, long story...Hope is such a sweet, gentle, & very trusting little soul once she got used to me (took a day) & she feels secure & safe. All the hair on her back & legs had come out, she had a horrible skin condition, chewed her leg hair & skin incessantly. Now she is on a med every day, gets bathed weekly, AND her hair has grown back a rich chestnut reddish brown & is curly. She is a semi longhaired little dachsie. She absolutely LOVES to get into shower with me...and just lays on bench beside me...she even lets me brush her teeth.

Hope has indeed brought me hope & I love her immensely. She gives me so much on a daily basis...so that is what my pet does..every day

[cinnamongrrl]

Wasn't today but yesterday....

I was walking with my dogs and our shared foster dog at lake Lure. The lake is being drained right now for dam repairs. So

I let Arya, the 11 year old hound we foster for her owner, go So she could get a drink from the lake. Well...

She heard squirrels frolicking on the other side of the lake and crossed the channel to Chase them up the hill. It took some doing to get her attention and make her cross back over. Thank God she came back. I would have had to cross over myself and get her.
