Today I picked up the urn (ashes) of the oldest kitty. Seems awkward to me but I still have the ashes of my last kitty that lived into her 20's.

The baby kitty is glad to have me home today. She is doing okay alone but she stress eats. She has been a comfort eater for years.

I am sure that she will want to play after her morning nap.

The baby kitty got into the bathroom and unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper. She is so helpful, now I don't have to unroll the toilet paper. She is daddy's little helper.

Made a fast trip home at lunch, brought Kevie and Jennifer indoors and turned the air on 63 degrees. It was way too hot, especially for Kevin (bully mastiff mix) ... he cannot cool himself down with his shorter nose like other dogs - I watch him closely during hot weather.

Dropped by after work and let them out for about an hour while I went to pick up a few eats at Sams Club. Bought them a rottissure (<<-- too lazy to look up and correct spelling) chicken. They love that chicken from Sams. When I brought them in to feed them, I was yelling "chicken picnic." Those two words click the excitment button and turn it on extra high. LOL! They make me laugh so hard! And that is what it is all about for me. :)

One of my cats has taken to sleeping laying flat on his back on the floor with his back legs propped up against the wall. So he's doing that. Everyone else is just laying around being freeloaders.

Every single one of my ten little cat indians has a bad head cold. That Never happened here before! One caught whateveritis, and gave it to the others. I've been a very worried daddi here for the past five days.:( At least they are still eating, and have no fever. If one gets a fever, it is going right to the Doc!

Kevin and Jennifer have been revved up past the ceiling ALL DAY LONG. They seem not to be able to contain themselves. I have a 26' long uhaul truck backed up to my front porch. The metal ramp is about 3' off my front door. I am loading, loading, loading ... they are wanting to be in and out, in and out the back door to the fenced back yard the entire day.

I almost boarded them these last couple of days but glad I didn't. They are so good about paying attention when I turn on my firm voice ... both minded my instructions not to attempt to sneak out the front door. Course Jennifer had to get a little too close and press it to the edge a couple of times by trying to peer out. A loud "go back" put the skids on that behavior. Jennifer has so much in common (as far as behavioral characteristics) with my beloved Kelly Diane. Kelly went on to the Big House over Rainbow Bridge in January 2014. Bet Kelly is gently bossing everyone there. LOL!

If I cannot get the paperwork completed and the power on at the new place by tomorrow evening through this Power CO-OP, we three will be staying in a hotel tomorrow evening. I had no idea of the hoops one has to jump through if you have to enlist help from a Power CO-OP. And you have to pay a membership fee, plus other silly non-sense. I don't wish to be in a club, only want my freaking power on. It feels uncomfortable to be at their mercy but I do not have any additional choices. WTF???

The baby kitty and I played fetch with her new toy. It is a rubber cage like ball with a mouse in the middle that squeaks when rolled. We played and played.

:ballcat:

TREMBLE...that boy is terrified of a thunderstorm. I have no idea why, but holding him I could feel him TREMBLE

The boys hiked with me...and both got baths when we got home. The ticks are rampant this year!

Now I have two mildly damp dogs in my bed cuz oh yeah...Yoda started sleeping in my bed. After nearly a year of living here. And why is that you may ask? Because the smoke detector needs a bAttery and the chirping sound scares him.

I love my big wussy dog <3

My favorite goofy little goat loved the peanut butter cookies I shared with her...she "tried" the oatmeal cookies, but wanted more peanut butter...then when I offered her a shortbread cookie, she crumbled it up and spit it out. :| :|
She is proof that goats do NOT eat everything. I've never seen such a picky goat. And get this....she doesn't take a peanut butter cookie if I twist it open to let her taste the filling. She sniffs at it but won't take it.
Goofy goat

I just caught the baby kitty sticking her paw in my glass of tea and drinking it. I have seen her do that with my cocktails too. I guess we share drinks. I am not sure that I approve of this. Haha!

:cat:

My cats are more blatant about helping themselves, they just stick their faces into my water and help themselves. They don't leave "surprises" for me so it's all good.

Several of my girls are inside soaking up the air conditioner coolness, Bella however will NOT come in unless there is a rain storm. The others know what a storm front looks like so they are ready to come in before the onslaught. Savannah is the Princess, likes being cool all afternoon, she is quite the expert table clearer upper. Oh ya.... don't get me started.

The Goobers are not amused by summer weather, unless they spot a squirrel. Sophie is an expert foot traffic blocker, but Tater is a sofa hogger, not ever under foot, just under butt, gotta look before sitting down.

It must be party time because I caught the baby kitty drinking my cocktail! Haha!

My 15 pound fluff-muttly with his 120 pound big dog attitude decided he was going to ignore all my commands as he launched himself off the porch and ran full speed up the drive lane and through the yard (with his new cone of shame flopping about on his head), in guard dog mode, to meet Mawmaw as she drove up the lane.

They both nearly gave me a heart attack because he almost got under her back tire, and then finally after she came to a stop, she said "I saw something coming at me but didn't know what it was." :| :|

I should have asked her "How many furry, fluffy, four legged critters with a curly tail, wearing a big white plastic cone on their head live on this farm??"

My boxer baby boy gave his kitty sister a big ol smooch on her ear...and it didn't look like a taste test lol

I'm thinking about getting a kitten from a guy at work so that Eleanor has a feline companion. My only worry was that yoda may not take well to it....I think my worry is gone now lol

Chased the roads in the backyard. They are fascinated with toads right now.

hung out..barked at the small dog next door...took a ride to the park and went for a walk

The baby kitty wants to play chase me catch me. Silly kitty.

:playingcat:

One of the cats spent most of the day stretched out full length on the dog bed. I have a pretty big dog, and thus, a pretty big dog bed. The cat managed to sleep fully stretched out so he covered the dog bed end to end. The dog slept on the floor next to his bed, looking longingly at the cat. One of the other cats will share the dog bed with the dog. But not this one.

the black cat decided to walk along the bathtub while it was full of water and he fell in! :blink:
