What did your pet(s) do today?

Well, let me tell you what! Loki is too smart for his own good. I got them one of those food distribution balls and they pretty much ignored it for the first week and change. Loki even pawed in front of it like he does when covering the litter.

Rude.

BUT

Then he figured out how to play with it today and, unfortunately, how to break into it. The little bugger not only open doors without permission but he found a way to get off the top hatch where the food goes in, even though it's clicked and locked shut. So, he got a full belly of snacks this afternoon and I am out a few bucks for a toy that will get very little play.

Boo.

Gracie has been really good today. She's currently on the back of the sofa, snoozing. She's the good child today but they are both equally but differently adorable.

Diva Kitty was feeling frisky today, so we played with her favorite red ribbon. She was all over it. Then she decided the handle of my new handbag might make a great chew toy, so I found a new place for it, up off the floor. She has finished up all the treats she had open, so tomorrow we will start on the goodies she got in her Christmas stocking. First up will be some crunchy treats called "Meow Luau".

Miss Petunia and Toffee (the blind blue-healer, Lab mix) seem to be fairing better these days. It's been almost a year since Simon, our adorable family Jack Russell Terrier, passed. But Miss Petunia and Toffee sometimes do strange things that seem to indicate that Simon (his ghost) is hanging around with the family pets.

Simon was the charming beggar (or not). Simon was SO bad at begging for human food, that during dinner time the only way to eat dinner in some sort of peace was to put him outside, with his leash on (don't ask, long story, LOL), and then Simon would commence to barking and scratching the glass window doors off the slider thingy until you thought you would go bonkers. Not even squirts from the spray bottle would make him stop.

Well. It was as if Simon was doing that very thing, in ghost spirit ways, the other night. We were all comfy eating snacks while watching 1980's movies on TV, when Toffee and Miss Petunia went coo-coo at the patio sliding glass doors. No one was out there. But Miss Petunia and Toffee kept on and on, barking and meowing up a storm. We think it was the Ghost of Simon, doing his thing on the glass sliding doors.

OMG, pets can be so intuitive, but really? I think they're as human as us.

I swear I could hear Simon yipping on the patio, that night. Yet he wasn't there.
