The dog paced a lot, sighed a lot, rolled his eyes at me a lot, and threw his toys at me a lot. We're on day two of day long rain with sever thunder storms. He's out of patience. He follows me around hurling his toys at me when he's bored. Kind of funny... well it's really funny actually. He has pretty good aim. (holds them in his mouth, aims, and tosses)

The cats, well, they slept on my bed, slept on my daughter's bed, followed me around, sat on my desk staring at me while I worked, sat on my daughters desk staring at her while she worked, threw litter around the basement, ate, slept some more.

Gosh, Hollylane, looking at those shoes makes me want to chew them up!

Only joking around ...
J-U-S-T K-I-D-D-I-N-G HOLLYLANE!
I swear, I swear!
:)

Reminded me that I am loved and needed the second I walked in the door. Oh and just now in a not so patient polite way reminded daddy that he needs to go to bed because well she is tired so I must be...

This morning I asked the KKs (Kelly and Kevin) if they wanted steak or chicken cooked on the grill for dinner tonight and that they must choose just one.

A little later ...
I took a couple of packs from the freezer to defrost. One package of London Broil containing two large steaks. The other is a 20 piece chicken thigh pack - boneless and skinless.

Not mine, but this is darn cute.

Dax ran around in circles before we went out for his walk...we came in..he ate and then jumped onto the couch and into my lap...holding me down with his paws and put a licking on my face....that boy is happy to see me no matter the hour I get home...

Babygirl pup is snoozing right next to me since It's my day off. Soon we'll be off to pick up momma from work and she'll enjoy the ride in the car.

Hi,

my baby kitty has a paper fetish and I have to keep tissues and other paper products out of reach or she will eat them.

Yesterday I had a tissue next to the computer and the kitty was laying close to the computer and then I saw a little paw slowly reach for the tissue so I wrapped may hand around her paw and made her hold my hand for a while. It is not unusual for my kitties to hold my hand they seem to like. Hahaha!

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

If you're needing a giggle, this is IT!

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.

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:

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.

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!).

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. .

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/p...og-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.

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 ...

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.

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?

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:

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

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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..

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:

Hey Hollylane
 

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.

Snuck in my bed to sleep with me.
