What did your pet(s) do today?
Tell us what's new with your furry, feathered, hairless, shelled, and/or scaled family today! What wild, crazy, silly, sweet, amazing, adorable, and naughty things have they been up to? |
Mine posed like a supermodel, and then gave me neck snuggles and snorts in the face! :)

If it weren't got my sweet fur babies I know I wouldnt get through things as well as I do,they just make life better.Today I had another of those back injections this makes two in as many weeks to get the problem places to stop hurting so bad.When I get home from the docs office i'm pretty wiped out,really foggy headed,hungry cause I cant eat for many hours before the procedure...all that together is a wipe out.After my son brings me home and while he gets me settled in,Rowdy and Little Bits,follow him step by setp to make shure he dose it right.After a simi decen't meal I go to bed to sleep the sedative off both of them station themselves in the bed,Rowdy at my head on the other pillow..The Bits at my side so I can touch the bothe of them if I want to.For whatever time I sleep or when I get up and will go back to sleep again they are my angles and shadow.I will aways beleave anamals no mater what kind we love and love us back are more loveing and human than humanity is..We as humans should take many a lesson form our animal friends and family.

Dog log...5.28.2013.
I find it amazing how brave my little Obi has become, with a new brother, that is roughly the size of a Shetland pony. Unfortunately, he was never besties with his brother, Chewy. But for some odd reason, this odd dog couple is working wonderfully. They don't even fret about who's toy belongs to who (Obi doesn't want anything to do with slobbery muddy balls. According to him, they are for ruffian type dogs, who don't mind using the yard facilities on rainy days).
Next week, The Chew, will be here all day with us, when the groomer visits, so will see how that plays out. The one short visit he had with Chessie, about a week or so ago, seemed to go quite smoothly, but I really think that is because the fact that dogs of Chessie's size exist, is so alarmingly new to the Lhasa who formerly ruled this household. Chessie is feeling guilty today, because he had a gigantic accident (85 pound dogs tend to have gigantic accidents) while I was at work today. It seems his bowels are acting up, he has an appointment tomorrow to check how his organs are functioning with the addition of some arthritis medication, so if he's still not feeling great, I can talk to the vet then. Despite his upset rear end, he still wants to play ball for hours on end, so I'm not too worried about him. Currently, he is placing his ball in my lap as I type, and fetching it when it rolls off to the floor. |
I started my day in much pain...when I kicked back in recliner, my WooBear grabbed his froggy and jumped up beside me. There was plenty of room for us both, but each time I moved, he pressed up against my legs. He does this when he knows someone isn't feeling good. Once when I thought he was getting too warm, I told him to get down. He did... but sat there "asking " to get back up. When I said "ok".. he used his froggy as a pillow. He's my 15lb guard dog.
I agree ... He does make life better |
for doggies with upset bellies...as recommended by our old vet... a serving of cottage cheese does wonders!!
serving size depends on size of doggie ... For my Lhasa it's 1 or 2 table spoons with his dinner ... for his best friend (100lb chocolate lab) almost a cup with a good high protein dry food. I've seen this work wonders. |
Lynx, my non snuggler has been asking to be scooped up and snuggled off an on all day. She doesn't snuggle much, she just cuddles up and purrs for like, two minutes, max and then she's ready to get down.

Thank you for the suggestion, I haven't heard of that trick! I was thinking maybe a couple of days on boiled chicken with plain rice. That's always worked for Chewy (Lhasa), but Chessie's on a new medication too, so I'll probably see what his vet says about that and its possible connection with his loose caboose... |
Oh cool idea for a thread!
M little tiger ed, slept with us all through the night. He always does. He gets up a little before we do, I think because he needs to use the catbox or eat. But right when he hears us get up he comes running back into our bedroom and hops unto the bed and wants me to hold him like a little baby. Then when I am holding him and petting him, he starts to drool! I know lovely, right!? I am so going to miss him while I am away. He is my baby boy! |
We have a hall linen closet that doesn't have a lock that actually clicks to secure it and Paco knows this. I found him in the closet again this morning. I'd like to think he was admiring the way I reorganized it.
|
ceiling cat (the white kitty) attempted to dig his way under the bedroom door at 4:30 this morning because his bowl was less than half full. He also destroyed a roll of paper towels within the last 24 hours. He has some serious basement cat tendencies.
|
Izzy has taken up posing on the couch, in a "Everyone admire my stump" attitude (he is a tripod cat). And Gracie ignores catnip mice and other toys and destroys toilet paper rolls.
|
This is a great thread. My puppies love to jump on one of the recliners in my living room when we come in from playing outside. Once in a while they both jump at the same to their favorite spots on the chair sending the chair into recline mode. It surprises both of them every time.

My monsters
Toby, our golden, sat at the end of the bed "talking" to us. I guess he wanted his mommies to wake up and play. :jester:
Shelby, our beagle-mix just went back under the bed to go back to sleep. Snoring. Have you ever hear a dog snore? It's funny as hell. Now Shea - She is our cross-eyed feline. She's a mouthy one. She jumps on our bed and will meow constantly until she finds the sweet spot of the bed to sleep. Once I get out of the shower, she will jump in there and lick the shower walls. Cats crazy! |
Chessie and I had a rough night. He had another accident in my bedroom, then we spent every hour on the hour outside with him looking pitiful in the yard, then he threw up twice on his bedding. Then it was my turn to be sick to my stomach. We slept for a total of 3 hours.
He still wants to eat and play this morning. I am making him chicken and rice right now, and his appointment is at 3:15pm. Hopefully, it is just a bug, but I'm a little worried about the big guy this morning. |
Chessie spent the morning at the vet, I couldn't wait for his afternoon appointment, he was just too miserable. They said his blood work is awesome, but he does have a bacteria imbalance in his bowel, so he will be taking an antibiotic and having a probiotic food supplement. The vet said the chicken and rice was the right decision, so he'll be eating that until Saturday, and then starting a Royal Canin senior diet.
The vet and vet techs fell in love with my big boy today, when I came to pick him up he was hamming it up with the women of the office, and they all told me that he is the sweetest dog everrrrrr....:) I'm really happy it wasn't something more serious! Edited to add... While at Petsmart (where Banfield Vets are), I picked up a Chuck It ball launcher, and a glow in the dark ball that is not a tennis ball (something I can wipe off, and keep dry). I took Chessie outside for about ten minutes of play when I got home. He is such a quick study, that as I was sitting here typing, he brought me the Chuck It Stick and then his ball. He intuitively knew that I would use the two together, after ten minutes of watching me use it. My boy is amazing! |
Well I have added a new addition to my furry family! I work at a retail store and a stray mama had a litter of four kittens right in between our front doors, behind some shrubbery. I came to work a few days ago to find a little one unable to get back to her, so I rescued him and brought him home.
I named him Burton *im a big Tim Burton fan* he is a beautiful little black and brown stripey kitty. I was really not sure how he would fit in with my cat at home, Sponge. Sponge is 8 years old now and has been an only child for most of that time. It seems though, that they are going to get a long just fine! This morning when I woke up, Sponge was curled up in his box and Burton was sprawled across Sponge as if he were a bed. They have really hit it off, and Burton follows Sponge all over the place! Its too cute for words, really. Burton will have his first vet appointment next week. He is about 4 weeks old and looks to be pretty healthy, has a great appetite and clean ears. Thats half the battle! He is adjusting just fine, and that makes me happy! They are curling up for bed in the box now...offf I go! |
she slept under my desk all day!
|
My puppies love this warmer weather. When I get home from work we play in my backyard and one puppy loves to play with his outside toys while the other runs around.
|
She woke up and moved...briefly :|
|
She got into the trash this morning. Luckily, she must have tipped it over just before I got home because it wasn’t yet strewn throughout the house. Right now she is asleep at the foot of my bed…probably dreaming about going through the trash.
|
Sponge is currently posted on the edge of my bed overlooking baby Burton. He has a stern "daddy" type of look about him at the moment.
i know that hes watching because he doesnt want the kitten to steal his favorite box. lol! |
In a corner of the backyard, behind a large stand of day lilies and flox, I've hidden a compost bin of the wire mesh variety. Recently my pup discovered the bin and the myriad of putrid "treats" she can reach if she pokes her nose thru the wires and works at it. Especially when I fail to mix in and cover the new additions to the heap. As of just a few minutes ago said pup has been permanently banned from that corner of the yard and will be monitored closely when headed in that direction. Why you may ask? Well, after a cute as h*ll momentary crinkly cartoon mouth, she forcefully hurled her dinner (and whatever she had reached from the compost bin this afternoon) smack dab in both of my favorite big, wide strappy Aldo leather sandals sitting on the floor by us on the couch. :|
Fortunately 95% of the puke landed inside of the sandals and not on the sofa or rug. And now, after I've cleaned up everything (at rapid fire pace, I might add), she is naturally snuggling and snoozing next to me as if nothing out of the ordinary happened. :doghead: Shopping for a new pair of sandals is now most definitely on the weekend agenda... :thinking: |
Today Cricket dug a nice little hole in the garden where I am going to plant squash. ( I didn't have the heart to fill in the hole while she was sitting there! She worked so hard!)
and my poodle Jacques dodged the grooming bullet...for now...lol and Bud the cat did.....cat things...mysterious cat things...we know not what...it is not for us to ask.. |
Guilted me into sharing my yoghurt, which they ate straight out of the pot...then wiped their faces clean on my freshly laundered comforter.
I would have been mad but for the fact that they looked so damn cute. Words |
Ginny is our geriatric rattie. She is two and a half years old. Before Greyson went in for heart surgery she stopped eating. I got some baby food to feed her from a spoon while he was in the hospital. I finally took her to the vet a week after his surgery. She has an owie in her mouth and the doctor thought this was causing her not to eat. It is three weeks later and she is still spoon fed on Critical Care for small mammals. She is doing fine. I don't know if she will ever eat regular food again. Her sister, Lemon, is very mad that she gets the yummy food. She is a good sister and loves Ginny and takes good care of her. I love my rattie girls!
|
It's 99 degrees today so when I get home from work my puppies will not want to be outside for too long. We will have play time later in the evening when ot cools off a little.
|
Today I made bread and offered a bit to both kitties. Lynx said "yes please, I want MOAR BREADS NAO." and Trouble at her bite and said "no thanks, I'd rather stick to kibble." Trouble is just so incredibly polite!
|
My insanely goofy 100lb "puppy" decided that he wanted to play in the pool today. Unfortunately, the cover is still on the pool...I went outside and found goofball on the cover in the middle of the pool, sinking, and joyfully splashing around. Sigh...I'd love to be able to get into his head for just 5 minutes and find out what the heck he's thinking! Oh well...at least he had fun.

Domestic Zoo update...
After way too much poo (unbalanced bacteria was the diagnosis), and then no poo at all (while eating chicken and rice) for 2 days...I am proud to say that perfect poo was made today by Chessie-pooh...:)
Obi decided that the Chuck It is a back scratcher, and while Chessie chased his glow in the dark ball, Obi took advantage of pets. Zeus (the bedroom kitteh) ventured out of the bedroom tonight, and then quickly remembered that his rightful place, as reigning monarch, is in mom's comfy bed. Perseus (second oldest of the kitteh crew), has decided to join his amigo in the bedroom, and they have been snuggling and grooming happily for about 3 days now. Though I never intended to have more than one cat in the bedroom with me at a time (a place reserved for the elderly or ill cat), it has actually been quite nice. Zeus is no longer trying to suffocate me at night by sleeping with his belly pressed against my face. That behavior was a nightly war between Zeus and I, with my survival on the line. Now, they both come up separately for pets, and then return quickly to cuddling with each other at the end of the bed. Our buddy Chewy will be home tomorrow, while the alternate parents are out of town. So, there will officially be a pack of dogs here until Sunday evening. Chewy is the most dominant of my dogs, and has not spent much time with Chessie yet, so I'm planning to grow a pair of eyes in the back of my head tonight, in order to expand my role as pack leader, and have everyone's safety and fun as a top priority for the weekend. Wish us luck! :) Edited to add... I just looked over at Chessie, he is snoring away (after a long walk, and hours of ball fetching, while running up and down the long ramp from the deck to my backyard), he has his glow in the dark ball tucked between his paws and his chin is resting on it. Jeeeeeezzzzz, could he be any cuter? |

I'm guessing it was something like.....WEEEEEEEEE!!!!! or Finally! I found the water!!! |
It's i:30am the girls got me up to go peeee,now they are back in soundly sleeping on the bed..gsss what?? I can't gop back to sleep...g.r.u.m.p.! Love my girls I really do.

Well.. I just found some good Bass fishing bait under the bed my furkids (cats) caught, and brought back to our cave, which means we are all going fishing across the road, at the lagoon a little later, for the first time this year. They love fishing with me, and go bonkers when I catch them one lol! :)
|
been working outside all morning and Kevie likes to "help" ... he became too hot so I took watermelon out of the fridge and gave it to him ... I just posted in my gallery a photo of him with his head inside the watermelon ... that's my boy ... LOL!
|
The cats are, as always, curled up in a ball on my daughter's bed. They are a little less squished together than usual, because it's over 90 degrees out.
The dog is flopping from one cool wood floor spot to another with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. I'd usually take him for a swim in the river in weather like this but there is a crew race all day and I can't let him out there in that. Maybe tonight when the race is over, even though he'll have cooled off then. |
What a delightful idea for a thread!
Her Royal Highness The Hower (to be know forewith as Calpernia) is curled up on her cushion. Her eyes are open so perhaps she's contemplating something. Madam Elderly, aka Nabiya the Butterfly Dog, is stretched out on her larger cushion, eyes closed. It'll be dinner time soon! |
She's watching TV!
Peno gave Syr a good scare last nite but all is well now ,,,, Poor Syr.... Lol |

My dog was very excited about the three long green beans she had for dessert this evening. |
From the nose prints and stuff on the monitor this am, I am gathering the cat had a snuggle fest with it before she woke me up. Now she is having a staring contest with 2 mourning doves who are basking in the sun on the deck. |
