What did your pet(s) do today?

snooze again.

Not mine, but the dogs of my well to do customers are the WORST. Their bad behaviors are not disciplined and, in fact, coddled and cooed over. Bah.

Bad pet owners. Bad! Bad!

I moved today. Into temporary digs until I find the perfect apartment (no small feat in my area).

Anyway, the cats are just coming out from under the bed after hours. The younger of the two actually ventured out several times and then returned to cower with her buddy. The older stayed under there for hours. Finally she is coming out, grabbing a nosh, visiting the box and even allowing me to scratch her neck -- until she hears an unusual sound -- and then she scoots back under the bed.

Poor kittens.

I am watching an old Sherlock Holmes movie and feeling like everything's strange too. But I won't fit under the bed.

My wife and I got a kitten several years ago, his father was a flame point Siamese, his mother a chocolate point Siamese. Our little kittyboy (he's male, my first male cat) is a HUGE kitten now, he's just been weighed at sixteen pounds. That makes him twice the weight of the female Siamese (kasumi). Anyways when he walks on you, it's not dainty and light, it's painful, and in the mornings the wife has to heave him off the bed because he's sleeping on her chest or belly. From there, the games begin. All cat owners know the game of kill-the-human. It begins with the tripping, the getting up somewhere high and batting at the human, the offering of the tummy that is a trap because you WILL be bitten, the laying on the floor in the path of the human and when the human gets close enough-the cat will attack. Now he doesn't do this to me, I'm not sure why, but the wife is the daily target. Sometimes I lay in bed and laugh myself silly listening to her trying to get to make the coffee as he begins his attacks. While the coffee brews, she goes around and gives all of the parrots fresh food and water, and the cat continues his attacks. All of the cursing would make a sailor blush too. He's so adorable, when she's finally done and sitting down with her coffee, he comes and lays down with me as I fall back to sleep.

It started with a nice quiet evening moment. My guy and I were laying on my bed looking out the window watching the sun set. Beautiful post storm sunset over the river... could have been a painting. Then my daughter came in, and as if she were 4 instead of 14 she grabbed a pillow and crawled up in between us to watch too. Rather sweet. Then the dog invited himself. (100 lb lab) and jumped up and started licking everyone (compulsive licker, he is) and then our laughing and wiggling away got him too excited and he started jumping on everyone and shoving everyone around and eventually he put his nose under me and nudged really hard and pushed me right off of the bed. That surprised him so he fell off the bed right on top of me.

Hard wood floors too, in case you were wondering.

My dog is around 12 (adopted) and has cataracts in both eyes. She tolerates the cat (who likes to sniff the dog's bum when she comes back inside from going to the toilet). Normally Mdm Elderly is a bit wary around HRH The Howler.

This morning, I was late getting up. Mdm Elderly was so excited about breakfast that she accidentally headbutted HRH. It was so unusual I couldn't help but laugh. Of course HRH had to do a swipe at the dog but it never connected and I doubt that Nabiya (my dog) even noticed!

And now the street cat that I've been feeding (and had spayed) is getting so used to Nabiya that she'll flop down beside the dog outside. This alarms Nabiya no end who gets up and walks away. It really is quite funny.

At this moment, Zeus has decided that the best place in the world to be, is between my lower back and the back of the office chair. Unfortunately for him, he will have to be removed from this warm spot soon, as I am not planning on hunching over uncomfortably like this for very long. One of Gaige's dogs, Nugget, is not happy that no one is home (Gaige is off picking through some delicious blue crab at her parents...WANT!) to give him pets, hugs, and kisses, and he is making sure the whole of Baltimore knows about it.
