What did your pet(s) do today?

Tommi · 09-10-2013, 03:23 PM

I have a cute kitten, who has never done anything like this...well, she is over a year old, but still the baby of the family.

She has only chewed two things. Computer power cords, and takes the strap off Croc's to chew.

She did chew through my MacBook power cord, and I caught her gnawing on my work laptop while I was working on it at home. She eyed the iPad cord the other night, so now, all computer cords will be covered in Radio Shack cord protector chew proof plastic, AWAY from one power source addicted kitty.

It's 3am in the PNW. 3am. Chessie woke me up, with his endless whining that changes to a higher pitch with every minute that passes without me leaping up out of bed. It took a long time for him to rouse me, because I have had a total of about 6 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours, due to my stomach condition, and my brain probably realized that today is my day off.

Finally, I realized that the non-stop noise was not part of a dream, and I stumbled outside with my boys for an urgent predawn toileting.

No sooner had Chessie entered the yard, when in the pitch black night beside me, I felt him pounce, just as the security light popped on. To my utter horror, I saw that Chessie had a possum in his mouth.

OMD. OMD.

I didn't want either of my dogs hurting another animal, or getting hurt (I've seen possums tear up small animals when I lived in the country, and Obi is not a big boy like Chessie). Somehow, for like the FIRST.TIME.EVER. Chessie got that I was not fucking around, and dropped the animal the second time I told him to "leave it".

When Chessie let it fall out of his mouth, it dropped with a heavy thud. The animal was just lying there motionless, looking for all the world like roadkill. I mean you could not see any breathing going on, at all. Just as my mind kicked into gear, and remembered that it was a possum, and was likely playing "possum", the security light popped back off again.

OMD OMD OMFD.

I started dancing around, screaming, trying to get the light to pop back on because I couldn't see a damn thing. The light popped back on, and the possum was still on its side near my bare feet, but then I could see that he was breathing normally, and was peeking at me from one shiny black eye. The light popped back off again. The dancing and screaming resumed, and when it popped back on again, I saw the long tail of the little critter going underneath my deck. By this time I had both dogs by their collars, Chessie was whining and Obi was snarling at me, and I dragged them both back into the house.

I think I understand now why Chessie keeps getting diarrhea, he is sharing the yard with a wild animal, who likely is the carrier of the bacteria that keeps over blooming in Chessie's bowel. I am really grateful that he listened to me and dropped the possum, and that he has that soft bird dog mouth, and did not hurt the animal. What I am going to do about it, is a mystery at this moment. I do know that I am calling the vet later this morning.

I'm hoping that I will be able to get back to sleep, so that I can think more clearly about it in a few hours.

Hi,

So I was sitting at the computer and my baby kitty (8 years old) was laying next to the computer napping. I heard a smacking sound and looked at the kitty who was sleeping and I noticed that she was making sucking motions with her mouth....haha.

I guess she was dreaming of nursing on her kitty mom when she was a kitten. It was so adorable!

The usual: cuddle, lick my face, bark, sleep, play in the yard, lounge on the couch and ottoman.

Right now: cuddling in the thunderstorm.

Gosh, Hollylane, looking at those shoes makes me want to chew them up!

Only joking around ...

Reminded me that I am loved and needed the second I walked in the door. Oh and just now in a not so patient polite way reminded daddy that he needs to go to bed because well she is tired so I must be...

RockOn · 09-14-2013, 01:13 PM

This morning I asked the KKs (Kelly and Kevin) if they wanted steak or chicken cooked on the grill for dinner tonight and that they must choose just one.

A little later ...
I took a couple of packs from the freezer to defrost. One package of London Broil containing two large steaks. The other is a 20 piece chicken thigh pack - boneless and skinless.

The dog paced a lot, sighed a lot, rolled his eyes at me a lot, and threw his toys at me a lot. We're on day two of day long rain with sever thunder storms. He's out of patience. He follows me around hurling his toys at me when he's bored. Kind of funny... well it's really funny actually. He has pretty good aim. (holds them in his mouth, aims, and tosses)

The cats, well, they slept on my bed, slept on my daughter's bed, followed me around, sat on my desk staring at me while I worked, sat on my daughters desk staring at her while she worked, threw litter around the basement, ate, slept some more.
