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

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

:cat:

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

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.

Mr. Mars and Squirrels....
 

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.


ks-

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.

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

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

Haha!

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.

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

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!!

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:

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.

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

:playingcat:

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

She threw up 3 times :|



She's acting fine though

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

The baby kitty is laying in my lap purring.

:rollcat:

Left a dead chipmunk at my door. They were really proud of themselves. :sigh:

My chihuahua girl had a visit from my mom and got a treat for being good! She is sleeping now.

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.

Thanks for the tip! :)

You are welcome.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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:

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.
