Internet, meet Cookie.  This little guy has been here since early October 2013.  He started out as a found dog with a plan so he was kind of just boarding here.  Things didn't work out and unfortunately sometimes life just goes like that.

Here he is now - looking a lot healthier and definitely happier.  Little buddy has a new plan - he's heading up North tomorrow.  I am ok right now, but I'm sure I'll be a mess in the morning.  This kid is sweet and oh so friendly.  He literally gets along with everyone.

He is going into another foster home, but I'm sure he'll find his forever family soon.  I will keep everyone posted on his progress.  ❤

Do it. I will peer pressure the shit out of you. 😂

Since Chupa is only sort of house-trained she stays crated when I'm not home.  Scar has become pretty good buddies with our other cat, Addsie, and that's understandable - they are about the same age and are both very playful.

Chupa is INSANELY jealous of them playing together.  She gets mad and chases Addsie every chance she gets.  If she's crated and can't chase her she barks and barks at her whenever she sees her.  She pretty much hates Addsie right now.  In fact, Chupa is being so possessive that she doesn't even like for any of the people to pet "her kitty."  She will bark and bark.  If she can get to him she will come and cover him up with her whole body.  Then they usually play wrestle and she's happy again.

I have no doubts that Scar cares about her because right after her spay he spent a lot of time by her crate since she wasn't allowed to play.  He would even nap there.  But he has also started avoiding her while she's out.  I think she might be getting a little over-bearing.

I feel terrible because Chupa is spending her morning playtime alone more often than not the last few days.  I can't help but wonder if they are breaking up, or going through a rough patch, or what.  They still have their moments where they play and hang out like they used to, but these last few days... not so much.  It's really bumming me out.  🙁

How do you give couples therapy to a cat and a dog?

Three dicks each.

Well, I just spent two hours screwing. I think it's time for a shower!

Well, I just spent two hours screwing.  I think it's time for a shower!

You know what's funny?  When I moved into this house I had 3 cabinets with double doors that wouldn't stay shut so I put a knife through the handles of one, a long straw through the handles of another, and a drum stick through the handles of the another to keep them shut.  Two were up really high and one was down really low so I never bothered using them.

Since I've been on this huge "ORGANIZE ALL THE THINGS!  MAXIMIZE ALL THE SPACES!" kick I've been throwing in little repairs here and there.  So I thought "Maybe it's time to see about buying those little magnet-y things that hold your cabinets shut."  Well I didn't buy any, but I started cleaning out those cabinets in preparation.

Guess what I found in the first one I cleaned?  A little box with enough magnet-y things to fix all the cabinets.  AND, 36 cents.  And some extra screws.  JACKPOT!  I guess whoever was working on the kitchen when I bought the house had bought the little thingies, but never installed them.  SO I JUST DID.  BOOSH!

Now my cabinets are staying shut without the help of random things.  I must say that I feel pretty accomplished.  😃

Well... I gave up on Beyonce.

Well... I gave up on Beyonce.  I let her out of my room.

I've seen her and I've cleaned her litter box and replenished her food and water so I know she's alive, using the bathroom, eating, and drinking.  Even though she was loose in my room she was still crying a lot.  I have been woken up almost every night at some crazy hour by her crying at my door.

I have a pretty large gap under my bedroom door.  A kitten could probably squeeze under there, but she can't.  So I woke up this morning to her crying, lying on her side, with all of her legs sticking out of my room.  I got up to open the door to see what's out there and of course she ran away.  But Balthazar was there on the other side, crouched down, just being close to where she was.  *SIGH*

Those two were snuggle buddies.  Almost every time I've seen Beyonce out she was snuggling with him.  And it was pathetically obvious this morning that they missed each other.  And I just felt terrible so I let her go.  She was never going to bond with me with the others so close.  She knew they were out there and that is who she wanted and I was just the evil thing keeping her from them.

So.  Maybe I'm not so great.  Or maybe that was the right thing to do.  I am still not sure.  But since everyone's happiness counts in my house - I don't regret it.  Not yet, anyway.  Looks like we just live with a wild cat.

I just found a loft bed that I MUST HAVE.

I just found a loft bed that I MUST HAVE.  They guy says that I will need a full size truck bed to move it.  Anyone want to loan me a truck?  Or take a trip with me?  The bed is two hours away in GA, but this is a deal I can't pass up.  I will pay for gas.  And food if you go with.  Hoping to pick up tomorrow or next weekend.  FOR REALZ.
