Cub's stomach seems to have somewhat settled for now, thank goodness.

Cub's stomach seems to have somewhat settled for now, thank goodness. But he has chosen Shaun as his person and there is no substitute. He just came to me with his ears back, looking sad. Wouldn't sit by me. Headed away from the couch so I followed. I tried to take him out. I offered him food. No. He wanted in Shaun's game room with him and was pitiful until he got in. Little sweet brat. 😂

Pupdate:

Cubba is still having diarrhea. Shaun didn't find canned pumpkin yesterday, but got something for Cub from PetSmart. It didn't help. We got canned pumpkin this morning and he's been eating it. If we don't see improvement by tomorrow we're going to call the vet.

Yesterday was rough for me. I didn't sleep well the night before when I was on the couch and up with Cub every few hours through the night. I very nearly got a migraine and napped off and on all day yesterday.

Shaun decided to leave Cub's doggie door unlocked and sleep on the couch with him last night. I slept great in our room upstairs, but now Shaun's having a rough day today because he was awake off and on all night. Fun times around here.

Anyway, here's a pic of the pup resting. He loves blankets, too, so pardon the messy couch.

So... Cubba was up all night pooping.

So... Cubba was up all night pooping. Good thing I'm a light sleeper and quick to wake up because when he needed outside - he NEEDED outside. Poor buddy. His li'l tummy is MESSED UP.

Shaun and I had been wondering for days if he could've gotten into our hot sauce. We had some friends over on Sunday and ate nuggets with the Season 17 lineup of sauces from Hot Ones (on YouTube) and no one fed Cub anything hot. When I gathered the dirty dishes I wiped the leftover food into the trash can and rinsed the plates and a few minutes later put them into the dishwasher. I thought we'd been really careful.

With Cub's first round of diarrhea Shaun said it looked like it had some spices in it. This morning he also found a chewed napkin outside. So now we're thinking this bad boy might have somehow raided the trashcan. It has a pedal and closes immediately after you step off of it. It's metal and heavy and hasn't been knocked over. If Cub did get in there then he must've been careful. It wasn't overfilled with stuff sticking out - we know for sure that's a temptation and don't do that.

Anyway, that's our working theory at the moment about what's going on with our buddy, but if he's not feeling better soon then he'll see the vet this week. Here's a picture of him staring out of the window and questioning his life choices. 😂

Spices in question for reference:

This boy had diarrhea in the carpet this morning.

This boy had diarrhea in the carpet this morning. His tummy is still rumbly and he's got some extra-smelly farts. I'm going to sleep on the couch with him so I can take him out if he needs to go in the night. We can tell he's not feeling 100%. 😞

Poor buddy. I hope he feels better tomorrow.

I went to work with Kira today so I could play with the kitties. 😻❤️

I went to work with Kira today so I could play with the kitties. 😻❤️

There's a white one with an underbite like a bulldog. Really sweet kitty, though. There's one named Lizzie with small ears. She gives kitty kisses when you pet her. I got a love nibble, too, and was surprised by it because she didn't have teeth. I later found out that she is older.

There's a big, poufy orange boy that Kira likes a lot. His name is Hobbs and he wanted desperately to be out in the catio, but they were locked in for the day because it was rainy. He complained a lot, poor fella. There's another orange boy named Oliver who plays until he passes right out - toy clutched in his paws. 😂 He's also funny because when he's ready to be petted he'll come and hug your leg. OMG - it melts me. And he has freckles on his nose. So precious! 

I spent most of the day fussing with Ethan - a solid black kitty who's determined to be in a lap. That's fine and good, but he smacks any other cat who comes near which sucks for me and the other cats because I was there to pet. 😂

There's also a litter of kittens and one reminds me of my boyfriend. He just looks at me with his eyes and I'm like "Dooon't!" 😂😂😂 He also likes to hide in a pineapple bed which is so damn cute I could die.

So anyway. That was my morning and I have no regrets. 😊😊😊

Shadow just found a baby hummingbird in the driveway.

Shadow just found a baby hummingbird in the driveway. It's got feathers, but not a full set. I offered our feeder to it and it didn't drink so we put it in a tree out front where we think they nest. We read that the mom's still feed them so we're going to keep an eye on it and hopefully it'll be ok. If not I'll see if there is a rescue around here for them.

Me and Shaun took Cub to the mailbox.

Me and Shaun took Cub to the mailbox. Then it turned into a walk around the "block" - aka whole subdivision. 😂 It was nice, though. It rained today so it was cool (62°F) and there were pretty clouds and the smell - it was amazing. If I had to guess I would say it smelled like Lavender and Sage and a little bit sweet. Monsoon season is being good to us. ❤️❤️❤️
