Posing....

The kids and I came home

for a few hours

today...still hanging

at my brothers house/dog/bird

sitting. Lily of course 

makes herself right 

at home and parks her

rear just whereever she

wishes...

But when it comes to

napping...

back to her carrier

she goes and naps!

That Silly Little Lily

As you know I am staying at

my brothers, house/animal sitting.

Lily...has no issues with it 

and she just goes right in

and taking over.

She has to grace the dining table.

Over see the dogs eating!

(see her on the cabinet)?

Looking at the bird.

Chilling in front of the 

windows and the bird cage.

Chole was wagging her tail

so Lily had to attack!

She loves the chair in 

front of the windows.

Course I pulled this chair over

in front of the front 

windows so she could

keep an eye on the dogs when

they go out.

But first...lets climb up on it.

NO...she did not do the damage

to the chair...THE BIRD DID.

On the bar in front of the kitchen.

Another view of bar sitting.

Loves it here cause she

can take it all in.

 Today we went downstairs

while the cleaning

ladies were cleaning.

They go in and out so much

I have to take

Lily downstairs and put 

her in one bedroom.

She loves the ledge at the

window.

Wow....talk about getting

comfy!

Dakota spent the first two nights

we were at Ray's at mom's.

But he stays close to mom when

we are here together.

Both were chilling

on the bed with me this

morn.

Silly Lily loves

to show out for all

of you.

Long Legs

Check out those long

front legs!

She is long, then and has the longest

tail and legs.

When she walks it looks like

she is walking tip toed!

My silly Lily.

Dakota and Sundowners

Shortly before adopting Lily I was 

seeing changes in Dakota. 

Just small things that can be easily 

over looked but now thinking 

about them and other stuff now lead 

me to do some reading.

 Convinced that he has developed 

Sundowner Syndrome, 

basically starting of doggie Alzheimer’s. 

It started with 

strange behavior and attitude but if you 

knew Dakota 

you could see where it would be easy to 

over look cause

 Dakota has always had strange behavior.

 Amber Howell - Daughter-

once said he reminded her Niles on Frazier. I said he 

reminded me more of Sheldon on 

Big Bang Theory. The 

changes have been slow in coming but

 about eight months 

ago he started something really odd in 

waking at night and 

walking around my body. I get him to lay 

back down but this 

goes on all night. Like an anxiety 

attack. I take him 

downstairs and get him calmed down. 

Recently he 

has started panting at night. Sleeps 

a bit more during 

the day then he used to but basically at 

daytime he is fine..

except he will go over to the door and 

stand there like he 

wants to go out, I let hi out and he goes

 on the porch but 

turns right around to come back in 

like he forgot what he 

was doing. For some reason, 

he seems to do better downstairs 

which also makes me wonder if the leg 

he broke as a pup 

hurts going upstairs. I sleep on the 

couch a lot of times to 

help him feel comfy. Those who know

 me, know my 

connection with 

The King knows 

that this is bothering

 me. He is my bud, my best friend, he 

has been there for

 me and I will be here for him. 

He will be 12 in Feb.

Furbabes....the Life!

Took this yesterday evening... 

So sweet together..

This morning after a long

night. Dakota seems to think

that we need to sleep

on the couch. He wants to be

downstairs for some reason.

With that...he spends the 

night trying to wake me.

And doing a fine job of

it. I don't know what 

to do. 

So I slept till 8:30

this morn.

Lily woke me again at

6:30 so she went to the

deck. Yep, I got up 

and opened the back door

for her.

When I do get up 

to do coffee I go to the 

deck, and look whom had

taken over my CHAIR...

AGAIN. This is becoming

a habit of hers!

However, Dakot is stretched out

on the glider, SNORING!

LOUDLY!

I have so much to do....

yet I think a nap will 

happen again today!

Do your furbabes have odd

behavior?

The Babes Chilling on the Deck

Friday morning before 

heading to my

older brothers house

to sat for the night and next 

day. 

Dakota went to mom's and

Lily went with me.

Here is Lily chilling

with Chole, the

Shar Pei Lab girl

at my brothers.

Size don't matter....

to Lily 

at all.

How are your fur babes?

Box

Yesterday while gathering

recyclables up to take off

(and has yet to be gone) I sat

this box on the table outside

nect to the recycle stuff on the

deck. 

Look who took it over.

We know cats love boxes....

Well Lily loves to sit on 

the table out on the deck

and having a box on it 

to get in is all 

the better I 

guess.

Pic below was taken 

this morning while

I drank my coffee.

Feeling Better and Being Silly

Thank you everyone that

has checked on Dakota...

He is a lot better. He had a rough

day that one day and then the

next he was sort of out of sorts.

But then that evening he was up

and back playing and eating.

Yesterday Silly Lily Bit

was stealing chicken

and peas off her brothers

plate. She did not eat

the carrot. 

Yes, Dakota has his very own Goodwill

plates. Really heavy like the 

ones  you used to find at

restaurants. 

Yes, that is a short glass turned

upside down in the center of

his plate....

this slows down his eating 

so that he can't inhale his food.

Dakota eats really fast and that

is what leads to him having

tummy aches. I used to

feed him in a bowl but that was way

to easy to inhale the food.

Lily got behind the washer 

and dryer the other day and

when I went looking for her,

I found her in an empty box. So

I pulled that out, cut an opening

and applied a curtain...

SILLY LILY!

Sick Baby and Silly Girl

Yesterday Dakota was not feeling

well. He had a messed up tummy.

But silly Lily was silly Lily...

she has taken over my chair

since I have not been doing

a lot of deck time lately.
