What did your pet(s) do today?

GeorgiaMa'am · 02-20-2023, 10:05 PM

Brittany is alternately sleeping with a full belly, and getting up to come check on me and get some loves. When I came home, she was loving all over me and jumping up and down in excitement. She is so wonderful to come home to! We are really bonding, and I can tell she missed me. Also, the boy told me she barely ate anything while I was gone. I fed her and she ate everything like she was starving; I also gave her a little bit of egg drop soup on her kibble (a Very Special Treat that she loves) and a bunch of treats in her snuffle ball. She found one of my dirty socks when I was gone and she had it in her bed. I will probably let her keep it.

Woke me up and ordered breakfast. Then went immediatly straight back to bed. I'm working on trying to get him to start demanding breakfast a little bit later in the day. Yeah well dream on.

Warmer weather has brought a flurry of all three...

Squirrels have found their hidden stash/es of buried black walnuts from last fall. The freshly dug holes in my yard are proof.

Sasha who is part Lab/Golden Retriever has the eye sight and sniffer nose, was on yard guard duty. Today she was non-stop: Watch! Drop! Dig! Patrol! She ate at least 3 black walnuts (that I know of)

Brittany made her first escape attempt with me today.

I opened the kitchen door, and I was blocking it with my chair, but she scooted around it. I have done this blocking maneuver before and she couldn't get out, not even to bite food delivery people or religious proselytizers. Usually she just stands behind my chair and barks. But today she went for it.

She knew she was being annoying. She went to the middle of the carport, about 10 feet away from me, and started sniffing the air. I couldn't get to her fast enough, and she moved another 10 feet away. I guess the fresh spring air got to her, and soon she took off for the back yard.

I didn't get her back until I saw her down the street and I got in my car to go see if I could tempt her with treats. As soon as I started backing down the driveway, she came back to see what I was doing, and she very calmly let me put the lead on her.

I was a basket case for about 20 minutes. She and I have some training to do.

Gracie has finally settled down some and is sleeping. It's been a really hard day for us both.

Monte was oh so Magnificent today and let me check his nails. I'm not sure what upset him last time I had them clipped at the vets but ever after he fought like crazy when I did them at home. So I took him to a place where all they do is trim nails, cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles and more. They have little trailers set up in parking lots in different locations each open certain hours, on different days of the week. So there's always some place to have them done but depending on the day you might have to travel a bit if you can't wait. Oh except for Sabbath, they're closed at all locations on Sabbath. Anyhow it's very affordable and saves a struggle plus now he's calmly letting me examine his paws, hold them a bit again. Not like he used to but I'm sure that will come with time given how much progress has already been made. This time I also had them filed and his ears cleaned too. He was a champ. So today a little bit of examination. I'm making it a habit to check his paws a couple times a day not to clip or trim but just to get him used to and comfortable with having his paws handled again by making a routine of it. He can now paw and knead his blankets again, to his hearts content, without sticking.

Poor Brittany had to stay in her crate for seven hours today. I had lots of errands to run with the boi, in rush hour traffic. When I got home Brittany was so happy she had zoomies up and down the stairs. We played an extra long time tonight, and she got lots of pets and loves and treats. Tomorrow morning we get to go for a car ride! (No place bad, just to the grocery store for a pickup and I'm sure there will be a visit to a drive-thru for a treat!)

Today was : Lets find the baby-bunny nest!
Today was : Lets try to divert attention of the baby-bunny nest!
Today was : Lets try , lets try and again let's try!
Today was : Ring Around the Rosy of the baby-bunny nest located and dug up by Ms Sasha -

Today was learning that not all furry critters are lovable, nor a source of food or a squeaky new toy. Today was a trip to the veterinary clinic for bunny-bite stitches on the nose for Ms Sasha-and a trip to the adult beverage store for me!

TGIF folks!

Brittany had lots of fun with one of my dirty socks today (yuck) before I discovered her. I made her a giant knot out of a kitchen towel with treats tucked inside. It took her about 30 minutes to get it all undone. Right now she is snoring peacefully. It's kind of a comforting sound.

My new hens got out of the fence today and decided to take a stroll down the road! A neighbor stopped and knocked at our door to let me know the girls had gone wild, lol. I had recently fallen in the driveway, gave myself a blackeye. I was pretty sore all over. I knew I wouldn’t be able to catch them on my own so I brought my Moondoggy out to help me. Now Moon is a cross between a Maremma, which is like a great Pyrenees, and an English Shepherd, which is like a border collie. Livestock guard dog cross with a herding dog. Moondoggy knows she’s not allowed out of our yard but I pointed to the girls and said go get them, and wouldn’t you know I witnessed her run down the street and circle around them and bring them back to our yard and right into their fence! Now she joins me every night to get them into the coop! I must say I am very impressed with my Moondoggy ❤️

Gracie is quiet now. Belly is full and she's hiding in her tunnel because I've started to clean the place up and she finds that frightening.
