Obi and I stayed on the porch, but the big dog kept trying to get us to run with him. I satisfied his want, and threw the slime ball repeatedly up into the air for him so he didn't run too much (his arthritic leg is bothering the heck out of him, but he still wants to go, go, go).

It was so hot outside, that Obi and I actually enjoyed the spit spray off of the arching ball...(I'm joking, that's just gross...ewwww)

Gemme · 06-29-2013, 04:24 AM

Paco has been very lovable this morning. At first I thought it was my charm he liked and maybe that there was a salty patch on the back of my shin, where he kept licking, but I soon realized he was just buttering me up in order to get some wet food.

ahk · 07-01-2013, 10:02 AM

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

starryeyes · 07-01-2013, 11:04 AM

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.

cinnamongrrl · 07-03-2013, 03:11 AM

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

Gemme · 07-03-2013, 04:14 AM

Paco the is being especially vocal and needy and stalkery this morning. I suspect it's because he wants more wet food. I TOLD Alex not to get him started on that stuff and now he's craving it. The poor cat only has half the teeth in his head; he needs to keep those nice and strong.

I bet good money that Alex will cave on Friday, when he has to listen to the "Hi!" "I love you!" "I want attention NOW!" squeaks and chirps that Paco does.

I will say that I've never heard a full grown cat squeak and chirp the way he does and it's kind of cute. Don't tell him!

Actually he needs the wet food , most cats don't drink enough water so they get what they need from wet food, mice etc. lol. Don't stop feeding him the dry food either.

I disagree. He doesn't NEED it. He WANTS it. Difference.

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.

My little man, kicks into overdrive, when he finishes his business. He's like a wind up toy. Last night when I let him outside, he found his spot and when he was done he came flying past me and a crumbled up tarp laying in the yard grabbed his front feet and cut him an end over end flip, landing on his back. He never missed a stride, straight to the door.

Sweet Bliss · 07-04-2013, 10:29 AM

MiMi and Binkie were wrestling, someone hollered, Binkie jumps straight up in the air and lands on MiMi's head with her butt! !!

MiMi just lay there with a confused look until Binkie got off her head.

Gawd they are so funny.

Queenie · 07-05-2013, 09:30 AM

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.

Chad · 07-05-2013, 06:24 PM

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.

cinnamongrrl · 07-05-2013, 08:33 PM

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....

Beloved · 07-06-2013, 04:35 AM

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.

Gemme · 07-06-2013, 04:51 AM

((((((((((Beloved))))))))))

Alexri just lost his cat of 17 years as well.

My condolences.

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.

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
