What did your pet(s) do today?

She woke up and moved...briefly

[Gaige]

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.

Shopping for a new pair of sandals is now most definitely on the weekend agenda...

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.

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!

Because it gets light here at 4 in the morning. My little boy ed, wakes up around then. Two mornings ago, he thought it would be a great idea to sit on my chest of drawers and knock everything I had on it, onto the floor! And this morning he brought a toy from his toy box in the living room down the stars to our bedroom. And then he started to play with it on the bloody bed! So, I took the toy and tossed it into my night stand drawer, yelled at him and tired to go back to sleep. He really wanted his toy back, so he sat on top of my night stand and tried without any luck to open the bloody drawer! My husband slept all through all of this. I really think Ed, is still pissed that I left him alone for the last month.

My cat Leah and I play "catch me chase me" and we have been playing this game for about eight years since she was a kitten.

I usually start off by chasing her then I change directions and she starts chasing me then I hide and she catches me like in hide and seek. It is our favorite game and she usually wins .

I will post her photo soon, I have a new computer these days with no photos on it.

I was getting out of the car....when I saw Bud the cat....stalking something in the grass near the pool...he was being as stealthy as a 20lb cat can be....but at the same time....he looked...perplexed...and scared. I wasn't sure just what he had his eye on...so I got out of the car and walked over...

He continued his stalking posture...but continued to look unsure....I looked in the grass where he was headed...and found a 4 in piece of black hose (presumably for the pool). I guess he thought it was a snake of some sort...lol poor Bud....

This place is probably meant to be light and fluffy but my bichon frise baby girl, Paisley, died unexpectedly yesterday at 16.5 years old. I loved her so much. She and my other dog were my babies until I had my daughter 3 years ago. I found her dead. I am so sad she died alone. I never wanted for either of them to be alone when they died. That bothers me the most. I held her for a long time and brought her to the vet on my lap. And then held her even longer at the vet office. She will be cremated and I will get her ashes. They made me a card with her paw print.

My other dog, Gloworm, is also 16. He has not been very well, either.

This hurts so much. They have been with me for over 16 years...longer than any romantic partner. They are family. I don't think I ever want to have a dog again.

I just hope when I die that they are there to greet me. I don't know what happens after you die, but that is what I would like and I have told them so.

Alexri just lost his cat of 17 years as well.

My condolences.

Oskar tried to do "The Do" with Dolly last night, after he's been told repeatedly that there will be NO tadpoles at Casa Theo's........ever. Well, I caught them in the act and poor little Dolly was having no part of it, screaming at Oskar in the loudest voice she could muster, which is not loud at all, compared to Oskar's voice. She even tried to run away from him, but he kept hanging on. She just kept screaming and trying to get away, until I reached in there and pulled him off of her.

Poor little Dolly was frantic and now she appears to be very frightened of Oskar, who seems to be more than a little embarrassed and quite sorry for what he did (or tried to do).

Frogs......whatcha gonna do???

... bounced, flounced, kissed, wiggled and whined.

And I love her for all of the above.

They all cried when I left to go looking for a camping spot for next weekend LOL they were out all morning and thought they were going to get to go.

Hi,

It was like 105 degrees in Texas today so my cats napped all day with the occasional pet and kiss break. Now that the sun is down I will be surrounded by purring kitties positioning for love and affection.

Nabiya went to the groomers today for a shampoo. I just had to buy her the sleeveless red teeshirt that says "If you think I'm cute you should see my mama". *grins*

And my cat sat curled, purring, on my lap for a whole 10 minutes this evening! Too tired to look for the shocked emo face.

today we discovered a litter of 3 kittens! Yes! And they are aout 3 weeks old. One orange, one white, and one tuxedo!

We adopted a lil stray kitty, Teeny Tina, from my daughter, who found her on her front porch. They kitty would not go away, so my daughter took her to the vet, got her shots and made sure she didnt have leukemia. The vet said she wasnt pregnant and wanted her to put on some weight before they spayed her. We took her, and were waiting for our local shelter to run their special on spaying kittens. She is an indoor cat..she is never outside.

So my husband who has the basement as his cave, heard some mewling down there. We have two side rooms in the basement, and upon investigating, found the orange one had fallen out of the nest Momma had made for them. And then he discovered the other two!

Holy moses! Three kitties! Well, they are ALL going to get spayed or neutered when the shelter runs their special ($5 a pound per animal, max $25 for cats)And we are keeping them all. I dont trust what the world would do to them. We have heard there are people who adopt in our area, for medical research. We are also in the middle of a dog fighting ring. And to make matters worse, the police uncovered a man who was adopting small animals to torture. Yeah, they arent going anywhere...

My Dax should be recognized as a therapy dog, he has made me feel better so many days I have lost count. He snuggles up with me when I'm reading and just want to be quiet...today was a rough day..and as soon as I walked in the door he was there eagerly waiting to kiss me...he started playing with his toy and we then went and played ball. I'm not sure who got more out of it, him or me...but I feel better and he is contented.

Today, Sadie and I spent some time together teaching her how to pick up her "babies" and put them back into her toy box. She says that she much prefers them to be scattered all over the living room, so I reminded her of the electric monster on wheels that vacuums the carpet, and mentioned how I'd hate to see it eat one of her "babies." Training progress picked up nicely after that conversation.
