Toebean is kneading with all the paws tonight. He's being super snuggly and cuddly. ❤️❤️❤️

It's OCTOBER and they're still out here playing in the pool.

It's OCTOBER and they're still out here playing in the pool. I think Bear would do it all year if we let him. 😂

Look at this patient couch boy.

Look at this patient couch boy. He's usually not patient, nor on the couch, but I guess the pork from my fried rice smelled too good. 😂 He waited a good 10 minutes for me to be done. I'm proud of him. And of course his patience was rewarded. ❤️

Bear said "What's on your head, Papa?" 😂

I don't know how he fell in again. 🤦🏻

He's been knowing where the splash-pad and stairs are since last year, but I'm starting to think he might like taking a dip. 😂😂😂 I have no explanation for why he's done this so much this summer.

Bear doing the most this morning. 😂😂😂

He also had me on the class Zoom looking crazy. He was snatching the blanket off the back of my chair and pulling me backwards. I don't know if anyone saw it, but I know it looked questionable.

Come get y'alls nephew. 😂

Toebean makes some serious biscuits...

Toebean makes some serious biscuits after Bear goes to bed. He's kneading through this blanket and my clothes and I still feel it. Some of the cats don't mind if we trim their claws, but he has strong opinions about it.

If I don't pay enough attention to him before he settles down to cuddle, he grabs my skin (arms and/or hands) with claws and demands to be petted.

I can't complain too much, though. I do value direct communication. 😂

Bear. 🤦🏻

Bear. 🤦🏻

I'm pretty sure he wanted to sit in the pool... But without getting his butt wet. 😂

Our sweet, smooth-brained boy. 😂❤️

And other times... Bear do what he do. 😂🤦🏻🤷🏻

Gonna preface this post with:

Gonna preface this post with:

Bear is ok. We were maybe 15 feet away carrying some stuff. And we're watching him for any adverse effects. We have a great emergency vet if needed, but I don't think that will be necessary.

It's always something with him. 🤦🏻😂

We taught him to enter the pool on the splash pad so he'd have some space to play... But I guess he forgot. That looked really intentional, until it wasn't. 🙃

This is why our pool is always warm. We don't leave it open if we're not watching the animals. It doesn't get much time to cool down because the cover is closed most of the time.

So far, he's totally fine. He's already gone back in how we taught him. He's been zooming around, getting towel dried, and rubbing his damp self all over us. 😂

Look at Bear and Harley.

Look at Bear and Harley. Bear likes to chase the cats (when they run; they all know at this point that they're safe and don't have to), but he also just likes them. And the cats are really gentle about letting him know when they done with his attention... Unless he doesn't listen. 😂

Lazy Sunday. I'm in my nightshirt still.

This is Scar being good for his inhaler. If you look closely, you can see the little green flap at the front that counts his breaths vibrate because he's purring. 😂😊❤️

I'm dying laughing over here. 😂😂😂

Bear's been playing with his floaty ball...

Bear's been playing with his floaty ball. It's a little big for his mouth, but he can pick it up. The struggle at the end sent me. 😂

Happy Bear. 😊

Happy Bear. 😊 Every time he gets the zoomies I feel so grateful that he can. I can't imagine how hard life would be for him to have so much energy and no physical outlet.

I think his favorite thing to do is splash around in the pool and then run around wetting us all up. 😂

I was sitting up talking to Kira and Shadow...

I was sitting up talking to Kira and Shadow and Toebean decided it was time to wrestle Shadow as he stood there eating his food. 😂 I don't usually see Tobi play; he doesn't with the other cats and he's cuddly with me and Shaun. But I've seen him come for Shadow a few times and it's pretty funny. I guess they're buddies. 😂😊

This boy and his kicking. I was in the living room when he started kicking the box. He tried to pretend nothing was going on until I went to my office chair, then he immediately started kicking again. 😂 He's easily fooled. It's not like I wasn't still looking directly at him. 👀😂

Pardon the mess. This is the room we were rearranging over the weekend and we are not done.

We took this bad dog out...

We took this bad dog out to pick up our lunch and get pup cups. He "enjoyed" the ride as much as he usually does, but while we were waiting in the drive through for Shaun's coffee and their pup cups, it happened:  A couple of the employees came by with rolling trashcans, and he was ACTIVATED.

Thank goodness he was buckled in, because he would've been out of the window in a heartbeat.  He jumped out on us ONCE before, in the driveway while going very slow [for no reason we could discern], and he's never had the opportunity again. BEAST MODE in the car was ridiculous, but he did eventually calm down.

I guess that's just another reason to avoid off-leash dog parks. We haven't been back to one since Cub was attacked, and at this point with Bear being who he is, it's probably just better for everyone if we're able to keep control over them. I really think that Bear doesn't mean any harm to people since he goes for the ice dispenser and trash bins, but no one knows that in the moment when a crazy-looking creature is roaring wildly and rapidly in their direction, and he's definitely grabbed me before in the heat of the moment, so better safe than sorry.

Anyway. Now he's home doing "normal" Bear things, as you can see. 😂

Mood. 😂
