trust

Featuring:

Boo has shown a lot more trust. He now sleeps on the bed at my feet. Instead of meowing half the night when he is lonely he snuggles up to my legs. The only downside to this is if he wants me to wake up he bats at my feet. He also likes laying on a towel on the foot of the bed during the day and looking out the window. On warm days when I can leave the window up with the screen down he lays right in the window sill. read more

Kelsie's new mischievous deed

Featuring:

I THOUGHT I had this getting into the trash issue fixed, when I got a trash can with the lid, which worked for a COUPLE DAYS. The puggy princess has learned how to flip the lid of the trash can up so she can get in the trash. I caught her the this evening! I come around the kitchen corner just in time to see her hop down from the trash can, licking her lips, and run over by her food bowl and sit like nothing was going on.

Zeus would like to bounce around, shaking his head vigorously wi… read more
