Just
got up and chugged some vinegar then went to nap in the hammock. Didn't
want any ketchup. Might want it after the vinegar does it's thing when I
get up later.
I
visited mom in bed last night and stayed for a bit. She squeezed my
hands and I kept lowering my forehead and we pressed our foreheads together and dozed a bit. Then I started hinting I wanted a treat by
shoving mom a bit. Then Beaker came and shoved his nose under my tail. I
was not amused.
Aurora was active last night and kept demanding
treats and food in her own way and was clawing the tower again. She was
active today to but when she did go out she kept coming right back in.
Beef
Had it out to thaw. Pua started playing with it.
Morning ketchup
Relaxed Hyzzie
Aurora knocked the towel down and Hyzzie made the best of it.
So mom went to bed and was like, oh I forgot to block the fridge,
aw it'll be fine Pua's not been messing with them lately. Perfect for
me. I raided both fridges. I couldn't get the blue cheese open but I
poked holes in the bananas, destroyed some avocados, Spilled some stuff and had yogurt. I couldn't get the lid off so I poked a hole in the bottom.
Mom woke to this around 5am. I tried to ignore her grumpiness but then
she wrestled me away from the yogurt. So I started trying to open the
blue cheese again.
Aurora was innocently hanging out in the
hammock but ran to hide in the closet but then politely asked if she
could have some yogurt too. Mom gave her some but I think Aurora needs
to learn to help herself.
The
dogs were bugging mom for treats. Mom said it wasn't time for them to
get anything but they ignored her. So mom looks Hyzzie in the eyes and
says "You want me to weigh you? I could weight you?" Hyzzie tucked tail
and ran from the room. She's one silly doggy. Mom can weigh me all she
wants long as I keep getting treats.
Oops
I made a sort of belchy noise when I yawned. Aurora panicked and darted
up the wall. This excited Beaker and he ran over. Hyzzie got confused
by all the commotion and barked. Aurora cried a little. She didn't think
it was funny. It kinda was though.
Fridge
raid was a bust last night. I couldn't get it open but I sure tried
hard. Aurora even helped. At first she was looking behind it for an
alternate way in then she was trying to move the heavy barricades but
they weren't budging.
I was making some progress with pulling
the rubber stopper loose when mom woke and shooed us away. We got treats
then to distract us. That worked for me I ate my food after that.
Aurora kept coming back and trying again poking the door and at the
boxes and mom kept hissing at her and turning a light on her and she
kept scurrying off but coming back. Eventually she gave up though.
Rescued mouse
Beaker stole her from Jake and was tossing him around. She was in serious shock but pulled through and was release by the river after recovery.
Oct 19th
"Didn't I spill vinegar on this the other night?"
Pua gets up to supervise the laying of the new floor.
kept on a shelf several feet from the cage and no way we can reach it.
Mom eventually reasoned that when Aurora fell one night her tail must
have reached out and hit the Stewie and sent him flinging back onto the
cage some how.
The real reason is much more obvious however. I
miss my mate and used my telekinetic abilities to bring his likeness
over for a snuggle. Now if only I could figure out how to use my powers
to open the new fridge latches.
PS I think the last straw on
the fridge raids was my getting the ant container and eating from it as I
pushed it across the room leaving a trail of ants all over the floor.
Bath
day. I was not amused or cooperative. When it was Aurora's turn she
pooped soon as the water was turned on. Mom scared the poop out of her.
After Aurora pretend to be tough by growling as she was dried. Now she's
pacing the room. Me I've just gone back to sleep in the washer. I got 3
shampoos. Aurora just got 2. We were pretty dirty I guess.
Went
for a walk today. No photos there was some guy along filming us. We ran
into 2 dogs and one of them twice. No leashes. I mean just ignore the
sign that says to keep your pets leash while I have my human leashed,
not fair. Mom had to pick me up. I hate that I want to keep running. The
last guy was good though and waited for us to pass and grabbed his
dog's collar when it got antsy so I didn't have to be picked up that
time. I got to play in my favorite stump too. Oh yeah he also told his dog that there was nothing to be excited over, that I'm "just a weird looking dog".
Apparently
poking holes in the laundry drain hose is frowned on in this
establishment. Um.. I was just trying to help mom with chores. Now she
can mop the floor.
I
went to the vet today. I got felt up and some blood tests just as a
check up sort of thing. The blood tests will be back later just to be
sure I'm not throwing my diet off too much with the fruit and yogurt
treats.
Mom says the vet confirmed I'm a bit chubby. All I
heard the vet say was those feel like fat deposits when mom asked about
my hip area. I guess this means low fat yogurt from now on.
Actually I'm not doing too bad diet wise I used to be 17 pounds in the
winter and 15 in the summer I weighed 15 now with it turning to winter
and mom had weighed me at 13+ pounds earlier this summer. It's that
added worm poop in my food. A great way to loose weight.
Also I
love mom even if she was mean and brought me to the vet. I was scared
and squirmy then mom sweet talked me and let me smell her breath and I
calmed down and sat still. I stuck my nose in her mouth a bit to get a
better smell and even french kissed her. The vet was listening to my
heart at the time and heard it slow right down.
Aurora
was active last night she came past me in my hammock once so I came out
after her then she circled around and was trying to ride me. I was
begging for treats this morning and fell from the window shelf but I had
my tail anchored. I wanted that treat bad though so I hung upside down
and had my ketchup. I just curled my feet around the limb too for some
extra grip.
Aurora was trying to ride Pua
She was piggy backing but when Pua turned there was no room.
Mom
got the replacement drain hose. Once she unwrapped it she realized it
is all rubber. Yay, so much rubber to poke holes in. Mom thinks she has
me thwarted though by wrapping the hose in an old blanket in place with
zip ties. We'll see about that.
Yummy
Enjoying a bit of superfluous hose
It's to early to be awake
I am suspicious
Pua poked holes in the rubber part of the laundry drain hose. I gave her the old one to play with to distract her form the new one
We are in the washer today. Aurora is under the jungle blanket but was passed out on my belly till mom peaked then I came out and said I need a treat for the intrusion so Aurora got one too. Mom put up my food so I said I'm hungry so I got a tomato. That's good enough, back to bed.
Aurora got up to try and demand some more yogurt but mom gave her soup instead, though it was topped with yogurt. So Aurora was not pleased. Mean while I'm sleeping all peaceful like and she comes back forces me out of my spot and takes it. Geez, so rude!
Aurora: I have my period and am feeling restless and a bit grumpy(I left a lake of pee by the door last night when I wasn't let out at 2AM). Anyway I've been out in the yard today walking around and it's hot out there so when I got back I asked for a nice cold treat of yogurt too cool off, and Pua STEALS it from me. I'm going to protest by moping on this wall shelf instead of joining her in the closet nest.
Sleeping
in the closet again. I wake up each morning alone in the washer and
have to go to the closet, though yesterday we were both in the washer
but then Aurora went out for a walk and went to the closet after so I
had to go join her anyway.
Aurora
finally stayed with me in the washer today so other than getting up to
beg some treats we have both slept in the washer all day. Finally. I've
missed my washer.
Mom
would like the thank the cleaning power of fantastic scrubbing bubbles
heavy duty all purpose cleaner(man that's a long name) for helping her
get the anteater grime off the walls and shelf easily. So next time you
need to clean dried soup off the walls or pee off the closets shelf
think about... Oh what, that isn't a common problem? Never mind then.
Aurora: OMG,
my servant has gone too far. Not only did she scrub down the closet
shelves but she repainted too! It no longer smells right. This is not my
lovely closet nest. Pua did pee in it all ready but I sat on the window
shelf and cried in protest. I have since moved to the blue shelf to
mope further. It's going to take a lot of pee to fix this.
Aurora
left me to have a yogurt snack in the closet now she is walking and
climbing around the room. I think she just spit in mom's glass of water.
Maybe she'll get brave enough to go outside again.
Aurora
did get brave enough to go mozy around the yard. Then she came back and
had a small snack and I came out to see what was going on. She went
back in the washer. I had some vinegar then joined her.
Was
sleeping peacefully in the washer when I heard the other one come on.
Ugh, shut up. Well, off to the closet to sleep with Aurora instead.

Oh
hey I almost forgot to tell you guys, I went outside today. During the
day even! I went to the back window first and sat and listened and
sniffed for a long time to be sure it was safe. Then I went to the back
door. I stopped and sniffed and looked out and almost turned back once
but then I crept out slowly and wasn't killed.
I went all over
the place and in and out a few times. Oh and it was raining some too.
Then I went in and out of the washer for awhile but wound up in the
closet eventually and left Aurora in the washer. She's just joined me
now after her yogurt treat.
I
need a fresh blanket mom. I can't use this one. I need a new one. I
need it now. Yay I can have my wake up pee now. Why doesn't mom seem as
happy as me?
I
didn't get brave enough to go outside today but Aurora did for a bit and
wandered the house then we both went back and forth between the washer
and the closet nest but finally we both have settled in the closet nest
together.
So
mom used foaming kaboom toilet bowl cleaner on my washer and sink. She
say it worked well but it did leave some stain rings where my drink bowl
sits on the sink. Any ideas on making the porcelain pearly white again?
I would be offended at her using toilet cleaner on my bedroom but well,
I do use the washer for that purpose sometimes too.
The
flax seed got contaminated with little moths. Mom spent the morning
picking out moth caterpillars for me to eat. I love caterpillars(Not the
fuzzy king though of course).
As
for my morning I went outside! I went to the window first but then went
right out. I ran all around in the rain it was great. I settled in the
closet and left Aurora in the washer.
Aurora is always stealing
my spot. Last night she actually rolled me out of my spot and I wound
up on by back all confused hugging my tail.
Mom
had a video of me playing on the computer. Beaker stopped to watch it
with fascination. Then when he saw me for real he looked at me then back
at the screen. He's a smart puppy. He knows beauty when he sees it.
I
managed to get the fridge open last night and was raiding the ants and
mom came and blocked the fridge after cleaning up. So I opened the
smaller fridge that I normally ignore and found yogurt in there. I'll
have you know that a gallon of spilled runny yogurt makes quite the
lovely mess. Mom was less than thrilled to wake up to that.
I
was up begging for treats this morning and moved back and forth a few
times but settled in the closet nest while Aurora stayed in the washer.
I just projectile vomited all over the closet wall. Mom will keep an
eye on me but she thinks it was just too many ants. I've been raiding
the fridge a lot and eating too many ants can make me vomit. It makes no
sense considering my species but too many ants has never agreed with
me. Mom just bought some latches for the fridges. I may be having less
fun soon.
For those curious: Mom caught it on film once by accident. We are said to have a gizzard
like stomach so I suppose it's so powerful it just squeezes and pushes
it out http://www.flickr.com/photos/68367946@N00/6078149912/
Oh though you know how dogs have that wind up first, uh uh uh urp, we do that too,
Well
Aurora woke and mom gave her her yogurt so mom woke me and gave me some
ketchup. I accepted, yummy. She coulda waited till I was really awake
though. Now Aurora is stealing my spot.
Aurora:
We could smell the rain and were peeking out of the washer. My servant
brought us some yogurt snacks and Pua stole mine so I went to the closet
to get some more and she followed me and stole that too! She's gone
back to the washer but I'll stay in the closet nest. Besides someone is a
little gassy I don't think I want to share an enclosed space right now.
Aurora:
I kept waking up and wanting something to eat so I finally got a bowl
of yogurt topped food instead of just a yogurt cup. That helped but I
would have rather had a bowl of just yogurt.
Yawn
Sleeping deep
I'm watching you
Is it still raining?
I want to go out
Open up
Running fast
I want in
And away from this dog
At the old wood
