What did your pet(s) do today?

DapperButch · 07-06-2013, 08:17 AM

Gemme, can you get a cat's teeth cleaned at the vet's like you can a dog? My guy gets his teeth cleaned yearly (when I have the extra cash). A dog's health is directly connected to their teeth they say...heart disease and the like.

Yes, wet food gives cats more water but given very regularly over time it does two things that are unacceptable.

One: it softens and could rot his teeth. The poor guy was ran over by a car and only has half a mouth's worth of teeth left. I'm not taking chances with his remaining chompers.

Two: he gets hooked on it and begs for it. If he gets it more than once in a blue moon, he's looking for it every day. Not. Bloody. Acceptable.

Thankfully, he's not the type for treats and actually usually doesn't like wet food in general but Alex hit the motherload with Meow Mix wet food when we were switching foods to find something that would keep Amber's appetite up. Paco would wait for Amber to finish and then help her clean the saucer.

Tonight, we went hippy style and got our cat high because he hates fireworks and it's the only thing that might remotely chill his ass out. It was working for a while and we had him on the couch, enjoying some loving but a particularly large boom set him off again. If we're lucky, there won't be any puke puddles for us to step in.

The new fish on the desk at work (One of 3, he is without a name thus far), a Dragon's Scale Beta. He's really pretty with his turquoise, purple and white colors...

I decorated his bowl this week, and everything except the lucky bamboo, was from Goodwill! This is my favorite fish bowl yet! Now, I want to redecorate the other two boys tanks!

Our pup too for the past few days that people have been letting off fireworks. She' hasn't been too bad though.

For those that don't know, we have a chi girl pup whose name is babygirl.

We recently moved and she loves to sleep on the top of one of the couches staring out of the patio onto the walkways barking and doing her lil growls at people that go by.

Typically she just lays and sleeps!

yesterday she got a rib bone and she loves to try and hide them ..

Today, she got a comb and it's routine with these damn fleas everywhere. They just jump on her when she goes out. So every time she gets a comb or bath she loves to sleep comfortably and that's what she is doing as I type and has done all afternoon! She also got out while we were washing down the front walkway and went into the grass around the corner went pee and layed in the sun for a few minutes. hehe. One of her pup toys that is a mini pink dog that squeaks made it into our laundry and to the Laundromat with me. Someone found it on the floor and asked if it was mine. lol

I'm sure we could.

If we wanted him to have a heart attack.

Paco's a verrrry special kitty.

But, yes. Vets can clean cat teeth like they do dog teeth.

Not only do I have my yorkie poo but I'm taking care
of my sister's two dogs. They follow each other all over the yard.
They take turns who's going to be the leader.

girl_dee · 07-07-2013, 05:06 PM

She refuses to do her business if the ground is wet! i made her come out and it was barely sprinkling and when we came in (after she would not 'go') she is carrying on like a crazydog...

Ohhh the drama...

Skippy has a new orange life jacket for when he goes fishing with his Daddy.

My roommate put the life jacket on him yesterday, and held him over the empty bathtub. He went to doing the doggy paddle swimming in mid air. He had this silly grin with about 3 teeth shining and cocking his head back like he was really in the water.

Gemme · 07-20-2013, 11:24 AM

Paco the has been lovely today. He is very well behaved when we're both here and off from work. I think it's his way of protesting our jobs. I'm with him on this. Just as soon as he gets me a winning lottery ticket, every day will be an off day! Woot.

Metro · 07-25-2013, 05:37 AM

Yesterday my pup wanted to be near me so much that she tried to push her head thru the wire fence along side of back yard (I was next door in neighbors yard. Granted, as a tiny (runt) puppy she could fit thru said fencing.) It was so endearing. Love.

At the moment she is resting her head on my chest... her morning routine after she has eaten. Prior to eating it is a big mush-as-close-as-possible-to-my-face-fest -- which has everything to do with her getting food and little or nothing to do with love. Still, I Love.

Lately her most adorable new habit is to "shake out" her ears when she is on the verge of doing anything "important" i.e. eat or go on walk. Like her ears need rearranging or something? Love.

Never fails to bring joy to my day. Love.

Sally watches TV with me. This was a few nights ago when we watched the last few episodes of LOST. I tried to get a shot of her enjoying Hemlock Grove with me last night, but my movement distracted her from her programs.

Bard · 07-06-2013, 06:18 PM

phoebe has taken sitting on our stairs and looking out the window it is to cute where did she learn it from why from jules our kitty girl

cinnamongrrl · 07-06-2013, 07:00 PM

I went out to get Bud the cat in. I didn't see him and I started to worry (we have fishercats) So I did the kittykittykitty thing that he can't seem to resist and sure enough, I hear him meowing. It was coming from the deck above the patio where i was standing calling him. He just kept meowing and it suddenly occurred to me that he didn't know he had to come down the stairs to come in

I made things easier for him and went around and called him from the bottom of the outside stairs....too much catnip I guess....
