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

?

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

That's all I know...

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.

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

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

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!

Pets
 

My kitties are taking turns on my lap and purring.

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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