Feeling the Monday blues? This video should cure them in no time. :)

National Coffee Day

Today is National Coffee Day! Our area is offering free small hot or iced coffees at Dunkin' Donuts- I've already had two iced pumpkins from there today! I don't usually drink that much coffee, but I like to take advantage of anything that is free. :)

Even Cedric is a fan of National Coffee Day! Here he is relaxing with a mini Dunkin' Donuts cup ornament in honor of the occasion:



I love me some Dunkin'!

Oliver the Albino(?) Cat

I have been pet sitting a gorgeous white cat named Oliver since Monday (Today was my last day, unfortunately). He is such a sweetheart! Oliver is said to be a Siberian, and I am thinking that he may be Albino as well because of his light blue eyes and the fact that his pupils appear to be a reddish color. However, I can't be sure if that alone means that he is indeed Albino.

Anyhow, here is a video I captured of Oliver today. He was moving around a lot so it was difficult to keep up with him. :)

Remember Me Thursday

As many of you are probably aware of, today is Remember Me Thursday. It is a day where we honor and remember all the pets that were never able to find their forever homes. Millions of perfectly healthy and adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized each year, which is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

If everyone chose to adopt rather than purchase a pet from a pet store or breeder, think about all the innocent lives that could be saved. Spaying and neutering your pet also can greatly reduce the very high number of unwanted animals.

Wordless Wednesday

Bath Time

I gave Sookie a bath tonight, which she was not very happy about. She is not really one for being put in a tub and having water poured down all over her. I tried to get a decent picture of her in there, but she wanted to get out of the tub so badly and was moving around so much that this was the best I could do:

 

 

When she gets a bath she has to have a prescription shampoo rubbed onto her skin that helps to get rid of her acne. It has to be left on her for around ten minutes, so her bath lasts a bit longer than a normal dog's which of course does not help matters at all. Sookie has to stay in the bathroom while the shampoo sets into her skin as she'll rub the shampoo all over the carpet and furniture if I let her roam around. She dislikes this just as much as the bath itself- actually probably even more.

 

"When can I get out of here, mom??"

 



However, once I let her out the door after I've washed off the shampoo and dried her, she gets so excited and just goes insane! Here is the video I captured of her on the bed right after she was finished her bath (Sorry for the loud singing in the background, I think The Voice was on the TV at the time):

 

 

 

First day of fall

Sookie has already prepared for the cooler fall weather in style...

Also in honor of the first day of fall, here are some pretty autumn photos:
