I am about to work out and then...

I am about to work out and then go bum around Shaun's house for a while...  I hope he has some Apple Jacks for me.  🙂

I just helped reunite some kittens...

I just helped reunite some kittens with their mama.  Something nasty was not being nice to them... couldn't see what it was, but we got the kittens away - thank goodness.  Everyone is safe and fed now.  🙂

I still feel pretty sick...

I still feel pretty sick... thinking it was more than just the ice cream that got me.  🙁

I had a fun day at DeSoto with my guys.

I had a fun day at DeSoto with my guys.  Went into the cave, did the water gun maze, found TONS of stones while panning for gold, fed some goats, etc.  😃  Ate too much ice cream when I was hot, though, and was SICK by the time I got home.  Luckily, Shaun is THE BEST; he brought me something for my head and bought us all dinner while I was busy barfing and napping.  ❤  Back to bed - work in the morning.  😃

I am going to DeSoto...

I am going to DeSoto tomorrow with Shadow and Shaun...

caves, butterflies, and water-gun mazes.  Much fun to be had.  🙂

Shaun and I have matching cats.

Shaun and I have matching cats.  Check this out:

This is Shaun's cat-cat, Sindar.

This is Shaun's cat Boo, now known as Ember, from the shelter.

This is my poor shelter kitty, Mox, now known as Snaga.

This is my fur-child Midna. The goofball who just fell off into my lap. 😂

So Shaun has had Sindar for quite a few years - she's about 4 years old. I got Midna last year when she climbed up my leg to escape life at the neighbor's house and she's about 8 months old. We were at PetSmart a few weeks ago and came across Morwen and Snaga who are both female like our cats and the same ages, too. It was so bizarre. I know that Midna enjoys having company and Shaun was thinking that Sindar would enjoy a friend so we just had to get them. We kind of let the cats pick where they wanted to be - Morwen was rather freaked by my dogs, whereas Snaga used the litter box and settled in for a nap right away. So our original plan was to each have twins, but we ended up with matching sets and that's pretty cool, too.

But wait - it gets even cooler. (If you're dorky like me, that is. 😜) Midna was given away at KMart in Anniston... Morwen was a feral kitten found at the Dad's BBQ in the very same parking lot. They have exactly the same white spots on their chests and they are the same age. I really, truly believe that they must be sisters. I would not put it past someone to try to give away kittens out there and then dump the unfortunate babies that were left. We didn't find this out until after we'd taken them home, but that just made the story of our matching cats even more bizarre.

And so that is all the silliness for tonight.

On a more serious and quite sad note I found Neo dead this weekend. I remember waking up and spraying him and him acting like he loved it, as usual. When I came home that evening he was just gone. Considering that I really have no idea how old he was, (remember, he was a rescue, too), I'm just going to guess that it was old age that got him. I never saw any signs of illness or anything and I'd had him for a few years. I feel sure that he was grown when he came to me so I only hope that he enjoyed his stay. He will most definitely be missed. ❤

Everyone's got the sillies tonight!

Earlier I was giving everyone some canned food as a treat - we primarily eat the dry stuff around here to avoid the tooth rot - so when they get wet food it's very exciting. Well, my foster girl Faith was sitting on the couch and I put the bowl in the floor in front of her. She ate the whole bowl of food with her back feet on the couch, front feet on the floor, and her head in the bowl! I've never seen a dog eat while standing on their head! I'm going to try to get her to do that again so I can hopefully catch some photos or video. That girl is such a clown. I'm really gonna miss her when she's gone.

[Edit: I has a video now!]

A little later I heard some scuffling around in the dog room. When I looked in there, Lowrider - of all dogs - was playing with Emma! She's never been very energetic and right after her last heartworm shot she really hit a low point. She lost a lot of weight and wouldn't do much other than lay around. But she's been gaining her weight back and wagging her tail and now she's bouncing around and playing like I've never seen her do before. It's awesome. She got rid of her heartworms and now she's a brand new dog! 😁

I was sending an email to the shelter a bit earlier and my cat just rolled off the top of my computer armoire into my lap. She looked stunned, but she was fine. She is such a goof! 😂
