What did your pet(s) do today?

Tiny Dog slid backwards into a ditch today! It sounds funny now, but it was scary at the time! If she had slid all the way down, I don't know that she would have been able to get out on her own, and I don't know how I would have gotten her out. - No more pottying near that ditch!

All is well this evening, except the Braves lost to the Nationals. Tiny Dog and I watched the game together, though.

Diva Kitty has no interest in baseball. She was asleep in a kitchen chair.

My hs bestie visited and my pooch got her some cuddles

Then we watched baseball, cuddled on the couch and now we are laying in bed watching a show called life after lockup

Our 2 cats, Calliope (calico) and Che (tuxedo) both take up residence in the bedroom anytime there's bed activity. Che parks himself on the bed and gets out of joint if he gets bounced around or asked to get down.
We used to have 2 pits and a wolf hybrid who would vie for a spot during activity. Imagine a large canine trying to move in on your activity on a double bed!
They often got shut out of the room until we were done. Howling sometimes lol.

I spent the afternoon at my sister-in-law's house, because she and her husband are leaving soon for a two week vacation, over in Northern Idaho.

As some might remember, Simon -- their aging Jack Russell terrier, passed away a few months ago. Toffee, the blind blue healer/ lab mix, is grieving the loss of Simon -- Still, as we all are. I miss Simon so much.

Just today, I was learning how to do water sets for the flower and vegetable garden, and Simon used to follow me around, playing in the water and barking with joy. Toffee just sat and stared at me, while I was learning how to use the new sprinkler system.

Petunia, my precious lovely caT, is aging at a troubling pace. She now gets cream medicine in her ears, twice at day, because her thyroid in on the fritz. She's super picky about the food she will eat, so I am looking forward to 'spoiling' her, *tee hee*.

But, all the pets and all of us, we are still not able to believe that Simon is gone. He was our joy and he had our hearts. I miss him so much.

Not today but Saturday, Loki peed on me.

You heard me.

He could have just told me he hated the newish litter but noooo. So, I had an emergency shower and trip to the store to get their old clumping litter and a bag of new food as I hadn't decided if it was a litter or food issue at that time.

It seems to strictly be a litter thing but he really enjoys the new food too so I'll stick with both and keep an eye on him. To be fair, he seemed to give it a shot. Originally, I combined the old and new litter and everything was fine but when the old got scooped out over time and I recently put a whole bag of the new stuff in their box, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I did have concerns about the granules being so big and if they'd hurt their paws but Gracie never complained and she certainly didn't tinkle on me either so it just goes to show that Loki's a big ole baby and could not survive in the wild.

Today's, Gracie's been super affectionate. Maybe to make up for her brother's behavior.

That's my girl!

Tiny Dog and I played The Laundry Game today. We used to play it a lot (not really my idea) when she was younger - basically, I sorted the laundry, and she unsorted it until I stopped sorting laundry and pet her all over.

She was kind of wistfully watching me sort laundry this evening, and I could tell she wanted to play but just wasn't feeling up to it. So I stopped sorting and pet her all over for awhile. She was happy.
