Adorable

What is it about sleeping animals 

that is so cute?

haha...well in most cases!!

Dakota has the not closed all the 

way eyes happening here.

But talk about adorable....

Dogs, and Cats

In my post on my other

blog today I showed

a sample of the 

ornaments I 

am working on for 

2018....

and like I have mentioned

before, Dakota loves

to be close to his

mom!

Pic photo bombed by Dakota's 

lower half!

 Speaking on needing to be 

near his mom...

The other day while we were

doing our walk

around the backyard

trip I sat down in

one of the chairs in the yard.

Dakota, jumped up and sat

on the table between 

both chairs!

Thinking the chair might

have been a big

more comfortable but

no, he wanted to be near me!

Back on the deck....

Squirrel watching!

Both the cat and the 

rat terrier!

I love that these two

love to be close

to each other.

I mentioned yesterday that I 

made Lily a sitting spot

at the other end of the deck.

Here she is trying it out.

She was checking out the 

stray cat.

  

Back a month or so ago I could

not figure out why Lily

would go to the far end (other side)

of the deck and peer through the 

slats. Then I realized.

This babe tends to wander 

under the neighbors deck and

comes out on my side.

Lily spotted it the other day and 

actually followed it from one

end to the other through the slats till

they came out on the other end.

I looked out and saw the babe above

sneaking out from under

my deck.

I spoke and it looked up

and spoke back!

Not sure about this babe. Not sure

if it lives up the street or

if it is indeed a feral cat.

I tried to get close to it the other

day and it ran. 

I am saddened to say though that

we have not seen it going on

day 4 now. I hope it is ok.

The furbabes hope you have a great day.

Lily and Dakota and the CHAIR

If you read my blog

Life Through my Eyes 

before coming over here

to see what the furbabes have

been up too then you saw the

tour of the deck and 

MY CHAIR!

This is what happens each and 

every time I leave the deck and

come back.

At least in the last pic Lily gave

me room to sit....

Only to jump down and seem ticked

when I sat down!

We all three have been spending some

nice cooler days and even rain

days on the deck lately.

Even naps!

Morning on the Deck

Dakota's ears are all perked up

as he listens to the trash truck

go up the street.

While Lily watches a bird in the

Crete Myrtle bush.

Later (mins later)

they both chill and relax.

(that is a very large skin tag on Dakota's neck)

I just missed the shot of Lily coming

over to settle down on the dog pillow

when she went straight to Dakota 

and touched noses with him.

Love these two,

After A Hard Day

SO TRUE!

While blogging on the deck yesterday 

I was having to take time 

out to love on Dakota.

And of course when I sat on the couch 

yesterday evening he has to

get right up on me!

He loves his mom.

Later however he moves to the other

end of the couch and after 

a hard day on the deck they are

both out.

There is something about a cat that 

curls her paws to her face to sleep!

Right now its still morning and we, all

3 of us are on the deck again. Being Monday

morning most yards have been cut

so there are no mowers going yet.

Birds are singing and the black birds

are squaking loudly. I have filled up the 

feeder and the wrens have been to visit

already this morn..

The furbabes and I hope you have a great

day.

Chilling

This morning while I blogged in the 

chair I looked over the top of the

laptop to this view.

The Laptop and Lily

This is what happens when you walk

off and leave your laptop open!

Looks like she is sticking her tongue 

at me too!

Silly Lily!

Dakota and Lily - Sweetness

I have business downtown this morning

so Dakota is going to Granny's for

a play date with her dogs,

Molly, Klohe, and Cheyenne. 

I have not told him yet. He will be

so excited. Isn't he so handsome

in his bandanna? 

Lily however will be staying home,

in the house.

If I am only going to be gone an

hour or so I leave her on the deck.

This morning however we have had 

two neighbor cats under the

deck and I don't want to 

chance he ripping a screen to get

off if they return.

This is her yesterday after vegging

on the deck all day. 

Worn out.

I love those legs stretched out there in 

front of her like that.

Living with Furbabes

NEVER.....

NEVER....

NEVER.....

NEVER.....

in a million years would 

I have ever dreamed anything

so sweet taking place with Dakota!

Is this not the most adorable 

thing you ever seen?

Dakota sharing his food with Lily. 

Dakota gets veggies mixed with his 

meal, he saves the peas for last.

The ones Lily leaves anyway!

😋

Cuteness aside lets discuss my nights

with these two.

I understand the cat in Lily and I 

was told when I got her from 

several cat folks that cats do things

on their own time and schedule.

With that being said, I am not at all

surprised when at 3:30/4:30 am that

Lily wants to be loved and rubbed on.

Not that I am crazy about my sleep

being distrubed but I can almost do 

this in my sleep although I would 

preferr if she would ask for the loving/

rubbing during the day!

It's this one that I am having issues 

understanding.

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

A little over a year ago, before Lily 

he started something strange. 

He wants to wake me up at all

hours by walking around me on the 

bed. Seriously, over my head, around

my feet, both sides, scratching at me.

At first I thought it was him wanting out,

odd way of telling me cause generally

he jumps off the bed, comes to my

side and straches the matteress where

I am laying to wake me to go out.

He still does that but when he started

the other behavior I just thought maybe

he had been trying to wake me and he was

having a hard time.

But after the first couple of times in 

my dozed state of mind I realized

that when he does that stuff, the 

walking around me, he don't want

out. I will go downstairs, open the 

front door and he runs to the couch.

So, its his way of saying, time to move

downstairs. What I don't get is 

why at all hours of the night?

Getting up with him is becoming an 

issue not only cause of this, which

thank goodness he don't do everynight.

I understand he is getting older and

the bladder and other parts might

need to get up and go during the 

night, it happens to the best of us. 

The issue here is when he wants out

at night, I have to go down the stairs 

then when he comes in back up them

again. Once is okay, twice I can give a little

on but three FREAK'N times last night!

The 2nd was thirty mins after he came

in the first time. Okay....maybe tummy

troubles, I get it. 

What gets me though is, during the 

day he is stuck to me like glue. 

I leave a room, he is there, I go in 

a room, he follows, I go to the deck,

there he goes, I go in the yard and

he is right on my heels. I can't get

him to veg in the yard while I am 

on the deck. He will go pee without

me through the day but he does his business

and he is back by my side in a matter of mins.

BUT at night, I sit on the couch waiting

for his return and he is gone forever.

Last night, well, 3:15 this morning,

it was 30 mins after he went out, I was

getting concerned, I put on my shoes

grabbed the flash light and went out,

just as I stepped in the drive, here he

comes. What the hell is he doing, combing

the neighborhood? He don't leave the yard 

during the day. 

So thanks to him and Lily's night

time rub down my sleep was

a challenge last night, also, I sleep

with a CPAP machine, so on and off 

it goes! I see a nap in my future today. 

If anyone has any clues on what I can

do to stop Dakota's adventures at night,

please share. Thoughts for tonight....

a Benadryl!

Thanks for checking on the furbabes,

would you like to keep them tonight

so I can sleep! 

haha
