Ugh, she's so CUTE. 😍😍😍

Ugh, she's so CUTE. 😍😍😍

She's also trouble. 😂

Last night I'd opened the freezer (it's a drawer on the bottom of the fridge) and couldn't shut it. I kept opening it and rearranging the items and it just wouldn't close. About the 4th time I opened it to see what the problem was, this girl casually walks out from behind the drawer. 🤦🏻

She's the worst cat. Who sneaks into THE FREEZER!?

Last picture is quality control.

😂😂😂

Mmmm. The textures.

The colors!

My hands were a mess from repotting, but look at this poor thirsty thing! It has since got a new pot and soil and now lives in the house temporarily.

The gnarly ones are really growing on me.

Is this the plant version of a C-section? That's not where the babies usually come from. 😂

Spring is springing!

Helper helping. Can't do anything without this one participating. 😂❤️

We took the boys out for errands...

We took the boys out for errands, which y'all KNOW is Bear's favorite thing. 😂

Shaun thought his parking break was off, but it wasn't when he tried to drive and the car lurched.

Bear been holding on for dear life since! 😂😂😂

And that face! The distrust! The "WTF was that, Papa!?" 😂

Edit:  He was compensated with a pup cup for his troubles.

Butt to butt with the 'Beans.

Also, why does he do this? 😂😂😂

Bear's "Tuck me in, Papa" face.

So pitiful. I worked him too hard today. 😂😂😂

I don't know why I thought...

I don't know why I thought I could do any indoor repotting with this dog awake. 😂

I set up in the floor, had a trash bag for the old dirt, and got started. Bear came to sniff the dirt - no big deal. Then he just nonchalantly took his big old paw and scraped the trash bag right out from under the pot I was emptying. I dumped dirt all in the floor.

Then he started nosing some plants, which was fine, until he started throwing paws at them, too. He likes to mimic what we do, so I'm sure he just wanted to help me empty pots.

The last straw - the one that made me decide to wait for his bedtime - was when he found my pumice box. He tentatively sniffed and then put a paw in, then was suddenly furiously digging pumice out all over the floor with both paws. 🤦🏻

I had to clean up and decide this wasn't going to be something I can do right now. 😂😂😂

Look how satisfied he looks. We did our task together. Best helper in the land. 10/10. 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Look at my kitty cat.

Look at my kitty cat.

Scar is doing better since I took away his dry food. He stopped throwing up, which is a relief. His poops are also firming back up - all without a trip to the vet.

I'm so glad he's feeling better. Definitely feeling well enough to be a brat. 😂

I had ordered him some raw food in a panic last week, so there's a ton of that in the freezer now. I'll probably mix some in with his wet food because maybe that will be good for him and someone has to eat it. 😂 I hope he likes it.

Shaun heard some noise, so he checked on Baby Bear.

He's so comfy. He never rolls and stretches like this outside of his crate. This is his safe space. ❤️

Volume up for a little Bear snort at the end.

Last night was a little rough.

Last night was a little rough.

Scar, my kitty cat, has been having some tummy trouble for a while. He has IBD and the manufacturer of the food he was doing really well on shut down. I switched him to the most similar diet I could find, but he's been having diarrhea and vomiting.

Last night was the perfect storm, I guess. He usually sleeps on my pillow. I woke up to the techno beats that indicate a vomit was on the way, so I sat up and grabbed a hand full of tissue to catch it. (I hate moving them when they're in distress like that. I always worry I'll move them at the wrong time and they'll choke or something.)

Anyway, I managed to catch most of his vomit, but when he heaved, he also squirted diarrhea onto me and the bed. So at 1:30 this morning I was cleaning the cat and changing the sheets.

I've taken his dry food up since that seems to be what he vomits up. I'm going to give him a few days on wet food only, and if that doesn't help, we're heading to the vet. I'm also considering trying to cook for him. It's ridiculous because I can barely feed myself, but it's so much easier to care for others than it is to care for me.

A kick and a toothy kiss from Bear. 😊

Kiss him back!

How Bear was lookin'...

How Bear was lookin' when I was vacuuming out the greenhouse the other day. He noped all the way across the yard. 😂😂😂 Lookin' with the big eyes so the vacuum doesn't get him. 😂

Someone subscribed to my app for a year.

Someone subscribed to my app for a year. I'm crying and trying not to puke. What is going on!?

Look at this cat in my puke bowl. She's in the danger zone. 😂😂😂🫠🫠🫠

Listen to this little old lady snore.

Listen to this little old lady snore. Watch her little cheek start puffing out. OMG, she's so cute!

I can tell she's getting up there in age, too. Ever since I busted out the heat blanket, she doesn't get up for nightly treats; she just waits for me to bring them to her. 😂 Relatable, honestly. My blankets > snacks any day.

Shaun sprinkles catnip in the cat wheel sometimes.

Shaun sprinkles catnip in the cat wheel sometimes. Most of the cats will roll around on it, at least.

Toebean is the only one who runs. He just came back from a jaunt and is Gargoyling with a bunch of catnip on his back. 😂

I guess I'm supposed to pet this cat, but it's just going to make a giant mess. 😆

At least Shaun can't fuss too much, since he's the main cause of it. 😂😂😂

🤦🏻 Bear.

🤦🏻 Bear.

It's been unusually quiet for the last few hours.

Shaun picked up groceries earlier, and APPARENTLY, Bear slipped into the garage unnoticed while Shaun was bringing them in.

Shaun started looking for him and we JUST found him. He was sleeping by the door. Didn't scratch/knock. Didn't bark. Just got trapped alone and thought "I guess I'll take a nap." 😂😂😂 (Definitely my son in that regard. 😆) 

That dog is so unbothered.

☝🏻 UNLESS it's the ice dispenser. Fuck that, always and forever, still. 😂

A little-known hobby of our precious Bear...

A little-known hobby of our precious Bear is that he dabbles in Interior Design. He loves bringing a natural look indoors for that ultimate blend of comfort and cozy. He ethically sources his leaves from the yard by gently kicking and rubbing the bushes, and collecting whatever drops with his tail and buttstache.

He has excellent taste in wood, carrying in only the finest chunks of Piñion Pine. It brings a fabulous, earthy smell to the home and completes the final look.

I love this brat so much. But I know our time together is winding down. I gotta remember every day to spoil him.

The couch is feisty this morning. 😂😂😂

She terrifies me sleeping like this.

She's on meds for some respiratory crud right now. Poor thing. ❤️

I had one of the weirdest wakeups ever...

I had one of the weirdest wakeups ever in the wee hours of this morning.

Scar and Adrian (cats) live in my bedroom and sleep with me. Scar sleeps on my pillow, snuggled up to my face.

I was sleeping on my side, Scar on my pillow close to my face. He must have stretched his arms and flexed his claws out, then relaxed. All fine and normal... except that one of his claws slid perfectly into my empty septum piercing and he had me hooked by the nose. 😂😂😂

It didn't hurt at all. My septum piercing at one point was stretched to an 8 gauge. A 10 gauge will still to this day go in with no resistance. That skinny little claw was nothing, but it was a weird sensation to feel when you don't expect it. 😂

I just flexed his claw and easily freed myself and went back to sleep. I'm glad I felt it on entrance, instead of waking up when he inevitably started snatching his paw in an effort to free himself FROM MY NOSE. 🫠 I'm sure that would've been a bit unpleasant. 😂

What are the odds of that happening? It's definitely not an experience I would have ever anticipated having. 😂😂😂
