Monte is currently on a hunger strike, picking at his wet food and refusing anything but handfuls of Temptations cat treats which I'm slowly weaning him off of.

Baby wants to explore the garage in the middle of the night. So she stands by the door to the garage and yowls. Most of the time, I am too deeply asleep to hear (I assume), but sometimes I am not, and, foolishly, I oblige her. I can't wait to get that doggy door installed so she can come and go at will. Also so I can move the litter out there. Why, I wonder, is the garage only intetesting at night?

My kitty looks like she's up to no good...lol we'll see.

Two of my cats have habits of hanging out in the shower and in the bathroom in general. But not usually together. I went to go in there this morning and the door was 3/4 of the way shut. I was like, hmmm, because my daughter was still in bed and there's just me left so... slowly opened the door and they were playing hide and seek in there. One hiding in the shower and the other about to pounce on him.
The dog managed to track mud in the house even after I wiped his paws off when he came in from playing outside. |
My boxer Yoda NEVER comes in my room. He rarely has in the year and a half he's been with me.
Last night a small thunderstorm came up. I heard the first clap of thunder and before it was over my bedroom door was being pushed open very swiftly. He came to my side of the bed and just let me pet him. That seemed enough, but he put his paws on the bed. I couldn't convince him to get on the bed...but I put a dog bed down on the floor next to me. I don't know how long he stayed there; he was gone when I woke up. I love that he's a big dog but still my baby <3 |
SHIT ON THE PORCH! I have since unfriended them both,
(2 former pet chickens) |
Diva Kitty is fascinated by the window I've been leaving open at night. The temperature has been perfect for sleeping. (It has a screen on it.) I don't think she's ever had a night-time window open to sit in front of before. It's also on a really high side of the house, so I think she really likes being up so high.
Tiny Dog is getting white fur around her feet. She's had it on her chin and under her nose for awhile now. It's really cute. |

The baby kitty was excited when I got home and wanted to play catch right away.
:playingcat: |
Today I took Arya, (the dog I found in a parking lot and found her owner a week later....only to find he can't have her where he's living...so my neighbor and I share custody of her..)for a hike with my 3 other dogs. :blink:
Fortunately, I have a nice spot that is infrequently frequented and I can let them off the leash. (All but Bitsy. She's a wild one). So...we're going up the mountain and Arya suddenly darts off the path up the hillside into some brush. Yoda looked after her completely incredulous. I could read his thoughts just by looking at him. He had NO IDEA this whole time that you could go somewhere besides the trail. He paused for a good ten seconds and then quickly followed her. Yoda has been iffy about Arya because she's bigger than him. But this hike opened a new door. Before long the two were walking side by side exploring together <3 Jacques got very frisky along the way. BIG difference from yesterday when I had to carry him down a (albeit bigger) mountain. I need to realize my little lamb is old. He'll be 12 in April. As an addendum.. Arya is 11... And she left ALL of us in the dust today. Atta girl :) |

Lately the baby kitty wants to play and play. Last night we played catch for an hour.
She loves to play with her Nurff football and "her baby" a small stuffed animal. She makes me laugh and laugh. Silly kitty. :ballcat: |
Couple weeks ago I went to find me an older cat to adopt. I've not had any pets for a while. Well, I got a little carried away and came home with two older brothers (couldn't split them) and then a another from a different litter. Yeah... I know... I know... seriously?! lol :jester:
Everyone's pretty well settled in so there will be some amusing tails ... or tales... soon. :p |

There is a new baby kitty at the ranch. I found her today at Petsmart she came from Paws. She is one year old, black and white short hair with a cute pink nose, and very sweet.
The two kitties have not met yet but I am sure that they will have a blast together. |
One of my new beasts need a name. I don't name my pets right off. Usually a name comes to me within a couple of weeks. But a name for this guy aludes me.
His (temp) names are... Pest... Pesty... Fucker... Fuckery... and occasionally, when he's being a lil sweet... Punk. He's a lil terror to the other two cats. He's playful but too rough and doesn't stop when they've clearly had enough. And he's a lil shit with me too sometimes! But... when he's tired out... he's the sweetest angel! He'll come lay in my chest, purr like an F16, massage my throat with his claws, suck on my earlobe and go to sleep. It's pretty clear he was taken from his mom and litter mates too soon. Iol That of course is the short list of his behaviors. I'm thinking MAYBE he's so contradictory (sp) because he's teething. I've just never had a pet go so long without a name coming to mind. The other two have been dubbed... Chewy because he's the color of Chewbacca and he's the biggest and mellowest of the three. Then we have Grover which started out as Rover because he'll keeping crying till I throw a certain ping pong ball for him, he loves to fetch and he.loves to have his belly rubbed. Clearly a dog in a former life! :p Anyway... anyone else ever have a punkish type cat? Names?? ;) |

Near.....far. Near....far. lol Well, what are his markings? Sometimes I've named pets for their markings. I had one cat that was black and white splotched but he had a perfectly formed upside down exclamation point on his nose so I named him Picasso. He was one of my favorites; a big ole love bug. His sister, Tigger, was so named because she was a tortie and her face was split exactly down the middle and had a tiger's markings on one side. There was one cat I had that took a bit of time for his name to come and then there were several adaptions so it wound up, a few months later, being something completely different. He was completely black and we started with Wolfgang and called him Wolfy and then it somehow found it's way to Nadir by way of Wolfinator and then Nadir. Seeing as how he was black and one of the definitions is in relation to a low point on a celestial sphere, that sounded fairly accurate. He was a strange one but I think it had more to do with his birth. He was the last one out, Oreo was exhausted and had had enough, so she stood up and turned around and wacked his back end, which was hanging out, against the giant floor speakers we had in the living room. I tried to get her to settle down but she kept turning back and forth and knocking him around until he finally slid out. We had another bunch of siblings also and they were completely identical...all grey tabbies. We had to color code their collars until we learned their personalities and named them. The runt became Zona (short for Arizona) because we'd loved our visit there and a small baby deserved a big name, the one male was so chill we really had no choice but to name him Zen, one of the girls had a bit of narcolepsy but loved to karate kick everyone and so we named her Nikita, the Narcoleptic Kitty, but we had a similar problem as you with the last girl. She was sweet but kind of middle the road; not too rabblerousing and not too relaxed. We struggled with naming her and were getting a bit frustrated with it all and we were talking about how patience was a virtue and then, BAM. Her name became Virtue. She also liked to suckle earlobes and would wedge herself between our shoulder and jaw and just sit there in ball for hours if we'd let her. She also had an inclination for suckling fingers too. Same litter and she was the only one of the siblings that had that fetish. Of course, I prefer to go outside of the box when naming my pets and you may veer more traditional. |
Diva Kitty got a mouthful of Vaseline today. She's been having hairball issues. Poor kitty! I know it makes her miserable to hack-hack-hack over and over. She's not fond of Vaseline either, but she clearly doesn't believe me when I tell her it will make her feel better.
Tiny Dog kept a wary distance, even though I assured her the Vaseline was not for her. |
I caught my dog tearing up pictures of Trump!!! Nevermind the fact i leave them laying about for her to do that.! Gives me a tiny bit of satisfaction

Kitty Eleanor is very curious about small places...I always say she is looking for a place to have imaginary kittens. (She's spayed)
So today I was putting laundry away and she got on the dresser to peek into it. Later I went in again and she was cuddled up in the drawer. It was too cute for words.... |

The new kitten had fun running and playing today. The baby kitty is sulking a little because of the kitten. It will be okay when a new feline comes into the pride there is always a period of adjustment.

Okay, we have recently acquired another customer's pet because they were struggling to care for her. They are an elderly couple and it was just becoming too much for them. She is a 27 year old Blue and Gold Macaw named Willow. :blink: We know, we know, believe me! This morning as Bevi drove up the driveway, the dogs gave Bevi their usual four dog barky salute/window greeting. I was in a different room and what do I hear from Willow but a loud, "Knock it off!". A minute passes and of course the dogs continue barking because Bevi is still not through the door yet. Now comes another loud admonishment, "Knock it off!!". The barking continues and Willow, at her little parrot brain wit's end, screams, "Shut up!!" Rude I know, but I couldn't help but laugh.

Thank goodness Tiny Dog can NOT open drawers. |
Today Mr. Potato :dog: ate a LARGE protein bar. Like 7 inches long, a couple inches wide, and half an inch in height. I had taken a bite and then left it on a table next to my recliner. I went out to the grocery store and I found the empty package, in the middle of the kitchen floor when I returned, "clean as a whistle". The package had traveled quite a way from the table the protein bar was sitting on. I am still not sure how he had even gotten to it.

Jennifer and Kevie played exceptionly hard. They came in a little before dark. I fixed their dinners. They have flopped in rhe bed..

Buster? Carmello? Milo? Toby? Harley?
How about Loki? If he's as mischievous as you say, that might be appropriate. Chester the Molester? Jinx? Morris? Zeus? Charlie? Thor? Mars, for the god of war since he turns play into battle? Pip? Dexter? Bailey? Chance? Socks? Houston, we have a problem? Jake? Sonny/Sunny? Julian? Moses (reverse psychology?)? I can do this all day. Like any of these? |
My babydog Hella Bellarella is having surgery as we speak. I'm worried and have anxiety but still telling myself she will be fine. She should be out in an hour and I'll try not to pull my hair out until then.

I am sitting in the kitchen with Willow and we are watching/listening to the news. The phone starts to ring and I can see by the number it is a telemarketer. Every time the phone rings, Willow answers with, "Hello.". I proceeded to explain to her about telemarketers, as the phone continued to ring and she continued to say, "Hello.". When the phone finally stopped ringing, she stopped helloing and I stopped explaining, she gave me a long chuckle. I think that bird was busting on me!

Monte is all snuggled up in his holiday print fleecy throw picked up at an after Christmas sale. I decided to crochet an edge around it to pretty it up for gift giving next year and went in search of yarn. When I returned, less than two full minutes later, there he was on top of it all hunkered down. Defiantly refusing to budge and looking up at me as if to say – Oh yeah? Make me! As if he didn’t already have a large enough collection of season appropriate, fleecy blankets of his own. I reached for it. He looked at me with a warning scowl, as if to say - Back away from the blanket and nobody needs to get hurt. I thought - Okay then, so Christmas in February it is. Still even though I realized resistance on my part would be futile, I did attempt my best to reason with him one last time, imploring – But what of the poor children in true need living in poverty next Christmas? Staring unconcernedly up at me indifferent, he turned his head away as if to say – So what of it? Let them eat cake! Then without a worry, care, concern in the world, he promptly passed right out.

TY Clay! She's out and everything went well! I got to go see her at lunch and will bring her home in the morning. Thank goodness for talented vets and resilient little furballs! |
5:30am. Pitch black and freezing out. Snowed all night and still coming down. I'm barefoot in my jammies and my dog gets tied up on his runner around a part of a tree that fell overnight. So I had to throw on the freezing cold snow boots that were out on the back porch and waddle out there in the cold and dark with snow pouring down to untangle him. He didn't even say thank you.
One of my cats threw up on my daughters bed. That's about it. |

The kitties are in training for the superbowl. I have been throwing the nurff football for both of them. I think that I am doing most of the work but it is super fun.

Not really a pet, but, we have a bunch of bunnies that live on the land around here. My next door neighbor came knocking on my door about an hour ago- which scared me, cause it's late, to tell me that there was a bunny stuck in the fence between our yards. It had been running from her dogs and got stuck. My daughter, my neighbor, and I were able to bend the rods in the fencing and ease her out. Poor little bunny!

Confetti kitty not to happy with me today. I took her to the vet, she got her ear dug in, an antibiotic shot and ten claws trimmed. Poor little kitty has a sinus infection.
She will be back loving me in a few days. |
Bella has a routine every morning when I make coffee. My Keurig is next to the sink and I stand on a little rug as I'm filling it with water. Every single morning, Bella waits for me to stand on the rug and start fiddling with the coffee pot and inevitably I will feel her sit her entire hairy ass on my foot with her back lengthened against my leg.
She leans against me and looks up with those biggo brown eyes and I can't help but lean down and snuggle her as the coffee starts dripping. I've read in a couple of places that dogs do this to show they trust you. It's a pretty sweet feeling. |
Hope, who is my little senior dachshund whom is blind. She is staying with my BFF's while I am away. They call me every day with the daily Hope report. She is a really sweet dog to have come from the deplorable conditions she did. She was a hoarder's animal...one of the SIXTY who lived inside & none had ever gone outside...a neighbor reported the people to Animal Welfare who went out with deputies....the conditions that were described. I do NOT call her their pet NOR was she in a HOME. They were told to get rid of x number of the animals AND to clean that pig sty up OR have ALL the animals removed AND evict the people. So Hope & a male dachshund, whom she was bred with..were put inside a plastic tote, duct taped shut, & left overnight at a shelter. Her name was "Mabel"...I renamed her Hope...as I wanted her to have hope for a much better quality of life after the shitty first 8 years AND she was bringing hope to me for happier times to come my way once again. It was a shitty summer for me as well. So, anyway, long story...Hope is such a sweet, gentle, & very trusting little soul once she got used to me (took a day) & she feels secure & safe. All the hair on her back & legs had come out, she had a horrible skin condition, chewed her leg hair & skin incessantly. Now she is on a med every day, gets bathed weekly, AND her hair has grown back a rich chestnut reddish brown & is curly. She is a semi longhaired little dachsie. She absolutely LOVES to get into shower with me...and just lays on bench beside me...she even lets me brush her teeth. Hope has indeed brought me hope & I love her immensely. She gives me so much on a daily basis...so that is what my pet does..every day |
Wasn't today but yesterday....
I was walking with my dogs and our shared foster dog at lake Lure. The lake is being drained right now for dam repairs. So I let Arya, the 11 year old hound we foster for her owner, go So she could get a drink from the lake. Well... She heard squirrels frolicking on the other side of the lake and crossed the channel to Chase them up the hill. It took some doing to get her attention and make her cross back over. Thank God she came back. I would have had to cross over myself and get her. |
