What did your pet(s) do today?

Gemme · 08-22-2020, 01:31 AM

Gracie has declared that corner hers and she is sleeping in it right now. She is freakin' adorable all curled up with her paw across her face, blocking the light from the lamp, and not showing one single white hair which is pretty impressive as she has white on her paws, belly, chest and face.

Loki has been a little needy lately. More so than usual, that is. I was on the floor, going through a bookcase to sort donate-able stuff and whatnot and he did his damnedest to crawl into my lap. I can't do that anymore as I am sensitive/allergic (some days I respond better to him than others) to him and he is a super shedder. I look at him sideways and tufts fly off of him. Anyway, he was soo cute, trying to wedge himself closer and closer and tighter and tighter against me until he was halfway underneath my crossed knee. I do love the guy but he is not good for my health. I like breathing. Breathing is awesome. I just can't do it very well when he's rubbing on me.

I wonder how long it would take for the fur to grow back if I had him shaved.

My condolences. It's the hardest decision we'll ever have to make.

Diva Kitty is responding well to her meds. That's why I'm up at almost 3 a.m. - to give her her meds. Hopefully there will just be a few more nights of this. We sanitized her cat boxes while she supervised this evening. I also ordered her some diabetic-friendly cat food that has great reviews, isn't too expensive, and doesn't require a vet's prescription. My only concern is that the protein content is so high, will she continue to get urinary tract infections? However, all of the diabetic management cat foods seem to be this way. I know diabetic cats are prone to UTIs also. I will just have to keep an eye on her and see how she does.

Is the story about the vet going to Iraq,about his dog and the letter he left at the rescue an urban myth or true?

I can't help but read the story,and I always cry and cry and hold Scout,and hope she goes before me.
She is the only dog I got on my own as an adult,and it has been just her n me.
I never thought I would own a Pitty,she is "English Staffy" and we rescued each other,when she was 12 weeks old.
She is now 10
and I love Scout more than any human or thing in the world

My fear having been so sick,is leaving her behind
that story always makes me think,I should write a letter.

BTW I love all critters
I believe every puppy needs a kitten,every kitten needs a puppy.
sadly our kitten "lil Bit" died 5 yrs ago.

Well, we took on 2 female kittie siblings to be future helpers in the barn. They had their first vet visit today and $400 later

we hit the road to go home. Really?! Anyway they are not named yet and went by K1 and K2 at the vet. So we were wondering if it would be wrong to name K1.....Jelly? Always great to know how a naming came about.
