Wordy Wednesday

 

Sherbet was finally neutered several days ago, but you would never be able to tell that he recently had surgery just by looking at him. We thought that once he was neutered he would not act as crazy and try to attack play with people so much, but that theory died immediately when my brother brought him to our house yesterday (which was our first time seeing him after his surgery). I've already received a few bite marks on my hands and arms, but none that have broken skin- YET.

 

Despite his sometimes psychotic behavior we did miss him terribly while he was gone, though, as he brings a lot of laughter and fun to our home. In the pictures below, he is being his usual entertaining little self and demonstrating how to play with a toy mouse in a step-by-step fashion.

 

 

 

 

 

Step one: Find a toy.

 

 

 

Step two: Focus on the toy and reach out for it.

 

 

 

Step three: Grab the toy and look around to make sure no one is going to steal it from you.

 

 

 

Step four: Kill it!

Finally starting to feel like fall outside...

It is much cooler today than it has been in a while- ok, more like forever. I love it and am relieved the heat wave is finally going away, although our Stray doesn't seem to mind hot weather at all. Yesterday (when it felt like 100 degrees out) she was happily basking in the warm rays of the sun.

 

 

However, the heat did seem to make her a bit tired...

 

 

 

 

 





On an unrelated note, I also found a hilarious video called Sad Cat Diary by zefrank1. It describes the sad thoughts of cats- though trust me, the video is not depressing at all! 





I also included the dog version, which is just as funny!

Howling and peeing :)

Tonight will be my last night pet sitting for Powell and Mimi. They are such sweet dogs- I will miss them a lot (hopefully they'll need me to pet sit for them again soon)!

Whenever someone sings or plays music on an instrument (such as the piano), Powell feels the need to 'sing' along too. He does the same thing when someone howls. Only about 15 minutes ago, I managed to capture a video of him doing just that with me. He is definitely one vocal dog!






In addition, I went with my mom to Barnes & Noble today for some coffee, snacks, and reading. While I was skimming through one magazine, I saw something that made me giggle- a device called Whiz Freedom. It enables a gal to pee just like the guys do. :)

 

I could definitely see how this would come in handy, though... particularly during lengthy road trips!

 

 



Feeling crappy today

I haven't been on here much for the past few days as I have been dealing with a pretty bad cold. And I didn't sleep much last night on top of that since my nose has been stuffy and running nonstop (I swear I must have gone through like 100 tissues already!). I hope to take a nap soon or at least go to bed really early tonight.

Today is my first of ten nights of pet sitting as well, so that will keep me busy. Currently I am lying down next to Powell, one of the dogs I am pet sitting for, who is napping and snoring quite loudly- and who I look forward to joining very soon!

I am really tired and need some rest so I will keep it short today, but I'll end it with an adorable picture that I found. I didn't take it, but the dog's elated expression is too cute to resist!
