I decided to make a "treat" for the furballs today for Christmas, since it IS their Christmas too and it should be special....

SO the other day I bought some chicken hearts and gizzards....I didn't really know what a gizzard was...still don't really. I just COULD recognize the heart and deduced that the other "thing" was the gizzard...I don't know why I thought gizzards and giblets were the same...anywho...

Whilest I was frying them up in the pan, Lola somehow figured out they were a tasty treat for her. Not ONLY did she hold vigil with Jacques, she tried to jump up and climb the cabinet to get to the stove

She has NEVER done this. Guess they smelled good...

The heart part came out nice and tender and cut it into pieces and the gizzards I could really only give to Jacques since they were...fleshier...I made a nice gravy and poured it over some leftover rice and put some nice pieces in for the tomcat I feed. Lola had her fair share and Jacques had a ton too. Full bellies all around

You should try chicken liver,I boil them till tender but sometimes I fry them whatever way my girls go nuts for them,I limit the amount of fried food for both me and the fur kids.

Fruitcake knew I wasn't feeling well today and never left my side. Such a good boy.

They played with their new toys and hung out on the couch watching some animal planet channel

played out in the fenced backyard most of the day ... came in mid afternoon, chewed on their loot from Santa ... later we three played on the bed ... I fed them their dinner, took a shower and left for an hour and a half ... came home to find that Jennifer worked over a comforter pretty well ... looked like it had snowed on the bed .... I scolded her since I caught her doing it ... walked into the bedroom and she had a wad of white fluff hanging out of her mouth ... Jennifer knows it is wrong but she is like me in that I don't think she can help herself. She is a year old so I imagine it will be another year for this to cease ...

Recently a friend and I were talking in a restaurant. We've been friends since the 1980s. The friend asked me about Jennifer. I told her Jennifer keeps a knot on her head or a cut on her face or head all the time because she is constantly the busy one and gets banged up a lot. My friend laughed and said, "No doubt she is your child." (say whaaaa?)

I was told by my vet not to feed my pets liver. The liver effectively functions as a filter for the body. It breaks downs toxins and disease in it's cells. Therefore, anything that animal had been exposed to right before its death would be in the liver tissue and thus expose your pet to whatever remnants lie within...

This is also why I won't eat liver myself...that and the taste...and the texture...lol

But I do appreciate the thought!

Princess Lola has discovered how to jump in and out of boxes. I thought she was too small yet, but she has been an extraordinary jumper since I found her....and I don't think she was barely 6 weeks old when I did....my baby is talented

JACQUES...on the other hand....

Last night there was a ruckus on the deck. Turns out my stray tomcat brought his buddy around for a meal...

Where as the tom is very quiet and never lets me know he's there, this ginger kitty was like come onnnnn where's the grub???

And Jacques never.barked.once. Good thing it wasn't a neighborhood marauder. I'd be one dead
