What did your pet(s) do today?

Gemme · 01-24-2016, 06:51 AM

Thank you. My head would explode and I'd really have to put myself in a corner if folks started gathering in one location to discuss the ways they are poisoning their pets. At least now I can just skip over those posts with an eye roll and a minor huffy moment.

Mine would be simple. Oliver drank some water, slurped some puree (either tuna or chicken and tuna flavor) and ate some dry food (which, at the moment, is a combination of 5 different types of food, 2 of which are grain free). He also gets kitty snacks including some party mix that equates to kitty junk food and some grain free chewy mini cubes of goodness, which he also likes and is much better for him.

I found that stuff at Job Lot, of all places. Job Lot is where I found his one and one toy that he will play with too. A buck for each bag of good for him goodies and a buck and a half for his blue banana. Of all the moolah that I've dished out for him, I caught a break with this stuff.

So far today, he's woken me up several times and was adamant that he got shorted in his puree somehow so I had to give him more, and he only put up a minor fuss when I medicated his ears and we both got an ear gook bath.

Joy.

We're both resting comfortably now.

All of the animals were very busy and excited at 6am. Now they are all being lazy bums.

My brother/sister cat team are learning to rough house/chase/play together. It's really cute. Brother cat has huge paws and likes to just plop one on his sisters head and start pushing it down until she leaps out and puts him in a headlock. It's this slow motion instigation followed by wrestling and chasing. Then they nuzzle each other and fall asleep.

Oliver tried to wake me up a few times, but I resisted and grunted at him and rolled over. He would give up and then try again later. Persistent lil bugger.

He slurped his puree in record time. I think he has winter appetite. Both yesterday and today, he looked down at the empty bowl and back up at me, looked down at the bowl and then back at me before loudly complaining, "That's all there IS???" to which I replied, "No. You have a full bowl of kibble and water. After that, that's it."

Then he tried to run when it was time to do his ears. Luckily, he's old like me, so I was able to catch him. He tolerated the medication and pet session afterwards and then ran down the hall to the Holy Grail, looked back and me, and cried. Nope, kiddo. You have to wait for the meds to soak in good before you go tossing your head on my white comforter.

Then he pouted for a few minutes until he forgot why he was pouting and laid down to nap.

When the time was up, I went into the bedroom, made the bed and called for His Highness, who came bounding into the room and up the stool to the bed, where he is curled up, happy as a clam, whilst I go fetch the noodles from his litter box.

Nothing unfair about that at all.

Awwww, I love your stories of Oliver. Love reading the details.

I see that Mr. Oliver gets to sleep with you EVERY night now (or so it seems)!

Smudge peed in the house (again) ..... This is new behavior, he has never been a marker in the house before. So, since he peed today, he gets to wear his pee belt all day while we are working. At least they have cute little tug boats on them... It makes him feel a little less baby and more like a navy sailor.

My foster dog bit my friend the other day. I had to bring him to an experienced trainer yesterday. He is back in a kennel and he looked at me with such sad eyes when I left him there.
