Sadie played with her new babies...mostly that damn screaming gorilla! Lol!

You should try chicken liver,I boil them till tender but sometimes I fry them whatever way my girls go nuts for them,I limit the amount of fried food for both me and the fur kids.

Fruitcake knew I wasn't feeling well today and never left my side. Such a good boy.

They played with their new toys and hung out on the couch watching some animal planet channel

played out in the fenced backyard most of the day ... came in mid afternoon, chewed on their loot from Santa ... later we three played on the bed ... I fed them their dinner, took a shower and left for an hour and a half ... came home to find that Jennifer worked over a comforter pretty well ... looked like it had snowed on the bed .... I scolded her since I caught her doing it ... walked into the bedroom and she had a wad of white fluff hanging out of her mouth ... Jennifer knows it is wrong but she is like me in that I don't think she can help herself. She is a year old so I imagine it will be another year for this to cease ...

Recently a friend and I were talking in a restaurant. We've been friends since the 1980s. The friend asked me about Jennifer. I told her Jennifer keeps a knot on her head or a cut on her face or head all the time because she is constantly the busy one and gets banged up a lot. My friend laughed and said, "No doubt she is your child." (say whaaaa?)

Smells like he found a skunk. I let him out while I went out. He didn't follow me back to the house. I called him and he didn't come so I thought he was doing his business. I came on inside and went back out a few minutes later and called him. He came up and ran into the house and jumped straight into Kenna's lap.

She yells get your dog off of me. He smells like he found a skunk.
OMG I picked him up and I don't think he was sprayed but he did have a funk about him that is unmistakable. I guess he walked threw where a skunk had recently sprayed.

He will be sleeping with his sister tonight, not with his Daddy.

I was told by my vet not to feed my pets liver. The liver effectively functions as a filter for the body. It breaks downs toxins and disease in it's cells. Therefore, anything that animal had been exposed to right before its death would be in the liver tissue and thus expose your pet to whatever remnants lie within...

This is also why I won't eat liver myself...that and the taste...and the texture...lol

But I do appreciate the thought! :)

Princess Lola has discovered how to jump in and out of boxes. I thought she was too small yet, but she has been an extraordinary jumper since I found her....and I don't think she was barely 6 weeks old when I did....my baby is talented :)

JACQUES...on the other hand....

Last night there was a ruckus on the deck. Turns out my stray tomcat brought his buddy around for a meal...:blink: Where as the tom is very quiet and never lets me know he's there, this ginger kitty was like come onnnnn where's the grub???

And Jacques never.barked.once. Good thing it wasn't a neighborhood marauder. I'd be one dead :rubberducky:

Lol, I love that you have a pet named Jennifer.

Little Lola got under foot today while I was going about getting things done and I inadvertently stepped on her. For HOURS after she acted like I was going to hurt her and ran from me....sigh..as if I don't feel bad enough....

Daniela,

I love love love that name Jennifer - always have! I knew my next female dog would be named Jennifer years ago.

Also, since I am using the name Jennifer already ... when it is time to adopt another female dog, her name will be Allison. Great sounding name, I love it too!

Back early Fall, I worked really hard with lots of other peeps to save a dog's life in a HIGH KILL SHELTER. I mean it took the whole village working hard to get this dog out alive. The dog's name was Avery. I gave Jennifer the middle name Avery in honor of this dog named Avery that we saved and helped into a loving home. "Jennifer Avery" ... I like it!!! *butch giggle*

Something funny ...
it was getting very very close for Avery. She had been on the daily kill list twice and we'd up our pledges, just start again throwing wads of money into her pledge bucket ... hoping a rescue would pull her. With pledges rising, this shelter would not kill her that day and would put her back on the urgent list with no kill date specified. I had tried to adopt her in the beginning but I was told I could not because I lived over 1000 miles from the kill shelter. They won't adopt out that far away. I had pledged close to $300.00. Anyway, I knew they were going to kill her very soon. Avery's time had just about run out. I learned decades ago money talks. I was working an "under the table" deal to adopt her, everything was in place, already had the transport get-away car lined up to bring her to me. It was going to be a "GO" the next morning. Someone adopted her out from under me that afternoon. I did not care. I only wanted the pooch to leave walking out of the shelter with 4 paws on the ground and not in a garbage bag. I feel like she got an awesome home. The adopter posted pictures of her with them in her new home. Seeing the photos made all of us so happy.

... and so .... we all lived happily ever after.

Heh Heh! :)

My 11 month old dog made me chase him around with one of my favorite shirts in his mouth. I think he thought it was a game. He doesn't normally get into the laundry basket. Btw I won his little game.

Well Penny is going through a hump the couch or couch pillows faze. She's 17 months old and has been fixed for over a year but the last 2 months or so her humping habit has gotten a bit worse. We try to keep her busy but she seems to not be able to control it. The only thing that I can say I don't mind is she's not humping humans or other dogs so at least it's not embarrassing in front of guests or dogs at the dog park. I am hoping that she can control herself before I have to buy a new couch.

Tiny dog _insisted_ she wanted some of the human food in my hand - so I gave her a sliver of raw carrot. She sniffed it, and then very carefully, so as not to get her tongue or lips on it, took the very edge of it with her teeth and carefully put it on the floor. Then she looked at me like it was my fault she didn't like it.

Tiny dog soon again _insisted_ she wanted a sliver of raw potato. She finally left it on the floor with a few tooth holes in it.

Kitty Diva gazed on throughout with bored derision.

Lola got a rockyintroduction to my friends cat...but soon settled into playing :)

mr mighty mouse go "fixed" yesterday he is laying here beside me under his blanket with a cone around his head :(

My (long-haired, natch) cat always wants me to pet her right after I rub lotion into my hands.

I overheard my mom having an in depth conversation with our Bichon Frise Charlie. It was about his naughty behavior yesterday. I was like, "mama, do you really think he knows what you're talking about?" Lol

Haha! I think it usually does mean "maybe she'll feed me" and it just coincides with whenever it's most annoying for me. But I'm not totally convinced that she doesn't do things just to annoy me. ;)

Kitty Diva was startled from her nap when I switched from listening to Aretha Franklin to bastille. She suspiciously peered around the room, like an invader had slipped in and was hiding under the furniture. I don't think she likes bastille.

Tiny Dog is especially needy today. She keeps coming back for more petting.

Right now they are both asleep (to a reduced-volume bastille), Kitty Diva on my left and Tiny Dog on my right.

Both the fur kids got got a clipping today,Little bit just got her face clip so she can see past the crazy hair she gets.Rowdy got an all over clip. I don't let her hair get so long but we have had so real cold weather so I waited till we had a warm up and it's been in the 50's or more and will be for a week or so...take the clipping days when I can in the winter.

clean puppies!
 

I went upstairs for a shower a bit ago. My usual bathroom buddy followed me in. Winnie has to give me "potty hugs." It's our thing every morning and every evening when I come home from work. Then on the weekends whenever she pleases. We did the hugs, then I got into the shower. She usually likes to peek her head in the curtain and watch the water swirl. Today, she decided to wander in but before she could her brother jumped past her! So he got the first shower. We've had melty snow so they have dirty paws and wanted to be clean. One by one they got showers then a cookie. It made me feel special because they have never showered with me, only star.


:heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:

Nothing but cause trouble lol like rummage in the trash and make a huge mess. I still lve them though.

My pup showed me what a beautiful soul he has, I was taking care of a friend's dog today....we usually walk together and she had to work today. Well Dax and I went to go and get T-bear, we were in the hallway and I guess T-bear was not in a good mood today, he pinned Dax against the wall and was trying to bite him. I did what anyone would do and pulled them apart and told T-bear I would come back for him. I walked Dax separately, in the interim my friend's roommate returned and I told her what happened so she said she would walk the pup. As we were outside they showed up and Dax wagged his tail and walked up to T-bear to say hello....this after his friend just literally went for his neck. If only humans could be so forgiving, Dax realizes T-bear is having a bad day, maybe missing his Mom and chooses to remember all the other good times they have had. I'm very proud of my little man and he certainly got an extra treat today.

My sister brought her dogs over today. We hung out for a few hours with all six dogs (she has 4). My puppy was all over her puppy (they are a month apart) he was obsessed over her though even tho she like 55 pounds lighter then him. Lol

When they left he whined and kept looking outside the window and around the house for them. I think it was 30 mins before he calmed down.

my daughters chahuahua (who lives with me) had a reaction to flea medication and got very sick....she needed a steroid shot, fluids and eye drops...ugh...can i just have one day where no one gets sick, nothing breaks and no one needs money? :|

Well his sister swung her butt around and slammed him into the door of the kennel, busting his lip. He jumped her and had her down by the throat by the time I turned around. LOL course she was laying there giving up. She out weighs him by 20 pounds. She didn't mean to hurt him. He was bleeding bad thought. He's like me he's a lover not a fighter, but don't make him mad.

Jacques practically launched himself into my arms when I got home today!! A long day at work, and the roomie at work also, made for too much alone time for my boy...

my dog slept, ate ( twice), pooped (twice), peed (4 times), did no tricks,

Within the hour that I have been home, the pets have been rather entertaining. I walked the pup and he did his business, but he had apparently eaten a piece of hair. What ensued was him becoming scared and running in circles trying to get the “dangly” that was following him. It was a rather tetherball-esque scene.

Then the pup snubbed his food which is normal until he gives up whining and realizes he is not going to get a boiled egg. The kitty ate his food and then decided he would try to eat the dog food, too. Now the pup is whining and the cat is banging the cabinet door in the bathroom.

They better be glad they are cute and soft.

Jacques met the neighbor's new hound dog :)

He was polite but didn't want to play. I think his time at the dog park is paying off!

We were feeding our rescue dog soft food. Today, we switched our rescue dog's reaction to eating hard food -- he took a bite of it and spit it out, and looked at us all hurt.

Our first pup is laying on the couch curled up at my feed fast asleep...I keep peeking down at her from over my computer and seeing her there puts the biggest grin on my face. She's my baby, and she just..'gets' me.

Other than Drax ( we call her the black one... cause.. she's the only black one) climbing into the shower with me and then licking the water off the tub when I got out, nothing. And that's a GOOD thing :)

Kitty Diva had fun with catnip today. This basically means she played with her catnip mouse for about half a minute, and then rolled around in a pile of catnip I had put on the floor. Then she laid on her back and stared at the ceiling all starry-eyed. She has now moved to my bed for serious napping, where she has incidentally strewn dried catnip all around, and which I will be trying to brush off the sheets for half the night.

Tiny Dog met a new neighbor, and gave him a very small warning growl. She followed this with silent permission to pass our yard safely, although under close observation. (The neighbor wisely kept a respectful distance.)

My dog woke me up out of a semi coma so he could go out. I got home after 5 and fell asleep by 730....all that time he didn't go out so he was justified waking me at 1130.....just wish I could get back to sleep now...

My kitten, Lola, is going to visit with us on weekends. My roomie isn't exactly a cat person but said weekends would be good...

Sooo

Lola, Jacques and I were all sleepy and cuddling this morning. Lola suddenly just reached and whacked Jacques' nose! He loves her so much..he did absolutely nothing lol

I had wondered where Lola would sleep once she didnt fit in my neck anymore....well...she sleeps with her head buried in my neck...with the rest of her off to the side or on my chest....aww :)

We are working on Sadie's 4th Trick Dog title. So today we worked on playing ring toss and basketball. She has basketball down pat...ring toss is not her forte, but I have faith she will nail it. :)
