Out of the Blū

I have officially been pissed on twice in two days.

I have officially been pissed on twice in two days. It wasn't Dumplin' this time and it was not in the face - it was Casper peeing on my foot.

I let him out just a few minutes ago and I knew he had to pee bad. He always runs straight out the door and goes to the bathroom. Good boy! Unfortunately for him it didn't go quite so well this time. 🙁

Since I've got so many limbs down in my yard from the tree trimming he plays with them and drags them all over the place. The other day when I opened the door to let him back in he'd made a stack of limbs (10 feet long - larger, heavy limbs) at the door... I guess that he wanted to bring in. It was like a dam. 😂 So I kicked them back from the door so we could go in and out.

So he ran out tonight and ran straight past his stack of limbs - only to get his collar caught on one. So he ran a different direction and rather than it slipping back out it twisted and tightened around his neck. He continued to run, panicking, tightening his collar. I finally caught him and held him still enough to unclip his collar. I am SO THANKFUL that he didn't have one of those that work like belts. It would have been hard to hold him still and get that off.

So when I grabbed him and started messing with his collar is about the time he could no longer hold it. He peed all over my foot and I can't even blame him. I feel so bad for him. Poor Casper. 🙁 Baby boy still needs a home, btw. One where his tree toys don't attack him.

I am SO GLAD I was out there when that happened. And instead of relaxing tonight I'm going to to throw as much of the limbs over the fence as I can. I never realized it was such a hazard. 🙁 NOW I know. 😳

I bet all my rehab friends knew that squirrels made sounds.

I bet all my rehab friends knew that squirrels made sounds. I figured that they did, but I had no idea what they sounded like until Dumplin.' He grumbles at me when I'm too slow with his food and today I heard a new one. I put him in a larger bird cage this morning so he would have some space to explore while I got ready to go see my parents, but he kept clinging to the sides nearest where I was and making a sound. Can't really describe it, but I got the distinct feeling that he was calling me. So, I opened the cage and let him out and now he's crawling around in my lap. I think someone was a little bit scared of his new surrounding so back to the old one for now. When I get home I'll reintroduce him to it and hang out next to it so he won't be afraid. I really thought he'd take right to it because he's become so mobile, but maybe he's still not quite ready. I read that they don't leave the nest until 12 weeks. He's not that old just yet.

Bad Blu. How dare I freak the baby out like that. 😂

Aaand, I guess he's over it. He's taking a bath now. Haha.

HOLY SHIT.

HOLY SHIT. I just found out that if I lock my driver door with a key all of the doors lock.

AT THE SAME TIME.

Damn, I'm fancy now. 😃

My back is sore from such a long drive.

My back is sore from such a long drive. I haven't driven that far in AGES - thanks to my poor little Hyundai being all sketchy. I'm sure it didn't help that I forgot to bring my pillow to sit on so I was sitting up super-duper straight so that I could see where I was going. I guess I have to get an extra butt pillow for my car. 😂

Time to put on some PJ's and do my nails. My Hyundai randomly decided that it wasn't going to open the other day so when I tried to open the door my hand slipped off and I ripped my first two fingernails down almost into the quick. 🙁 I cut them down with clippers, but they are all jaggedy so I need to go and fix that before I rip them more.

Funny thought: Now I have two running cars (definitely keeping the Hyundai for backup), so I guess according to my mom - I'd be an uppity redneck now. Go me! 😂😂😂
