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

the most adorable, sweet, loving pup ever!!
 

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chilly morning here!

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

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

Got to love our babies!

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

the puppies are together again! :)


watching them play is better than tv!

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

I need to invent puppy listerine.

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

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

Yay to no more bites and scratches!

:hangloose:

I could post in here daily....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My mother sent us a care package...

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

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

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

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

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

My cat threw up on my rug.

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

NO treats for you! :confused:

EARLY this morning...

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

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

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

They are awesome. Like they are everyday.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:eatinghersheybar:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's been a nearly non stop snugfest today!

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

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

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

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

BUT

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

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

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

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

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