Out of the Blū

Thursday, February 20, 2014

I just spilled scalding hot coffee in my lap.

For anyone who's thinking about trying that let me be the first to say: It HURTS.

We woke up super early...

We woke up super early so we could get to the transport on time. I tried to make my "letting the dogs out" rounds this morning, but they were mostly still asleep.

I went and asked Emma if she needed to go outside and she jumped up off the couch. I think that may have just been an automatic response because when I let her out - she just stood there. She wasn't sniffing or moving... she was just standing there. She looked like she had no idea what she was doing outside. 😂 After a minute I just let her back in so she could go back to sleep. It was pretty funny. It reminded me of having to wake up Shadow early when he was young. Sleepy kids (especially the fur ones!) are cute. 😃

The precious cargo has been dropped off.

ADOPTED 04/19/14

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. 😂

There might be trouble in paradise. 😕

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?
