What did your pet(s) do today?

[Hollylane]

Last night, despite the no balls in the bedroom rule, Chessie ate nearly an entire tennis ball. I have no idea where he got it from. He apparently has ball-dar....

Needless to say, he barfed the majority of that onto my bedroom floor this morning, and later, when I thought he was doing his usual whining about not playing ball during every waking moment, he squatted and deposited a pool of liquid onto the carpet in my bedroom. There were little pieces of rubber in that too.

So, he has the runs again, and I have spent the day running him outside, cleaning up accidents, and making him a ton of chicken and rice for the week. His vet is off today, but I have a call in to her, so that she can give us more of the pro-biotic sprinkles for his food.

Obi is enjoying quiet time with the living room cats, and has declined several invitations to join Chessie and I outside, or in the bedroom. Strangely (not), he did appoint himself as kitchen guard while rice and chicken were being cooked, and meat was being pulled off of the bone.

The fattest tiny cat in the house, Oliver, has been attempting to plant himself into every load of warm laundry entering the bedroom today. So far, I'm winning.

I was mowing the backyard when I noticed Chase playing in the little pool that my parents bought for their dogs. My Mom bathed her dogs in the pool earlier that day. She emptied the pool and filled it with clean water so that Chase could rinse. How about that…I have a self-cleaning dog.

Right now, Sadie is having a big ol granny smith apple for her, before bedtime snack. She loves them, and I love how well they clean her teeth!

My puppies decided that they wanted to go out every two hours last night so now they are tired puppies.

Mr. Nibbs let's me walk him before work, and then when I leave he jumps up on the back of the couch to give me kisses and tell me goodbye.

Good dogger!

Woke me up before 7 am alarm with paw licking. My response? "Out!"

Just got back from putting Miss Amber to sleep at the vet's office. She had lost over a pound in a month. She was still eating, but not more than a tablespoon at once. She was missing the litter box every day. She was going into hiding mode and she was having trouble controlling her hind legs. Could she have hung on a couple more days or weeks? Yeah. But there would have been really bad days along with the good days. I still feel like crap.

For weeks, every morning and evening, I have been scouting where the big fish (over five-pounders) hang out in the lagoon here, their eating habits, and schedules in shallow water. I don't have a boat, so I need to catch them in the shallow water. I prefer to fish with my custom made camoflage net with a long pole, instead of a hook anyway. I finially found a good spot two blocks away. I tied dragonfly bait, and waited since daybreak. After a couple of hours, I saw my cat son Larry, walking down the path toward me. He walked all that way, just to see what I was up to. My furkids have never done that before. Needless to say, I had to pack up everything pronto, and walk him back home, because some folks use this part of the path for their morning dog jogs, even though there are leash laws here. Sooo.. Larry (Big Nose) the Lion will have to be grounded from now on, during all future fishing expeditions.

How bout we just don't go there

[ahk]

Right now: Sleeping except for Tbird she's taking a bath in her new water.

[starryeyes]

They ate breakfast, barked at the mail woman, romee dragged her butt on the carpet (grr), played on the couch, growled at eachother and slept. That's all before 10am.. Haha.

My pets tried to tell me that there was a fire in the house!

My poodle Jacques was barking for no reason. I kept shushing him and going back to sleep. Then Bud the cat kept getting in my face no matter how many times I turned away from him. He has never ever done that. Finally, the smoke alarm went off and I went looking.

The microwave had spontaneously started and got so hot it was melting the glass tray inside. It was actually a blazing fire, contained (thank god!) within the microwave. I opened the door to stop the microwave from working and to try to put out the fire. Ultimately, it smothered out once I closed the door of the microwave....

Aside from horrible acrid smoke, no harm done....my pets are heroes...and from now on I will pay better attention when they alert. No matter how tired I am! <3 <3 <3
