Life with Dakota and Lily

After Lily and I got home

in the wee wee hours

of the morning, she checked

out the house (I think she was

looking for Dakota).

This morning she was back to

herself. She has peed several times

today and I caught her drinking

water!

YAY...

Nurse from White Oaks Pet Clinic

in Fairview called to check on 

Lily today. Test results were not

in at that point and the doc was off

so he will call tomorrow.

But...I think he might have been

right and she had a small

virus cause giving her

the fluids she is herself today.

Yesterday she curled up on my

daughters end table, wanted to be

left alone and slept all day.

I think she might have been a little

depressed also.

At my brothers house she runs and 

plays. Other animals are there.

But at Amber's, she was in a 

lot smaller place and no animals.

This is her sleeping today after being

herself all day.

Love how she has the paw tucked

under the chin.

Melts your heart....don't it?

Now trying to take Dakota is another story...

he turns his head and will not

look at me!

Brat!

He was happy when I picked him up

at mom's today. So excited to get home.

After the two weeks we have had 

I explained to these two that

we were home for a good while

and no more house sitting for awhile. 

My two fur babies enjoying

a night evening at home

laying near their mom..

who am I kidding, they don't 

care about that, they are near

each other.

Here again...he will not look 

at me!

HAHA

But he will stick his tongue out

at me!

After this last house/kid sitting

deal Lily might not ever

jump in the bag again to

go.....

I was packing a few things and

she jumped in like she was

not being left behind. 

FLEAS~

Dakota never gets fleas.

Summer before this last one

I found ONE on him 

during a bath.

This last month both fur babes

have had an issue. I think Dakota

got them and then Lily got them.

I treated both with a 30 day treatment.

We were done...

but then Lily got one at the vet yesterday

I think or it was a long lost egg hatched

out on her.

My daughter does not have pets

so I know it was not from there.

I have treated both of them again.

In hopes this does the job. 

Dakota had an upset tummy today.

He did not want to eat his dinner then

later I stepped in some 

up chuck, all clear like

flem. He has allergies and I 

have to give him Benadryl. 

With our life being in such an

up roar lately he has not been 

eating right. I give him can food, 

but for a filler I either put carrots,

peas or green beans in it....but

because at least once a week he 

would have an upset tummy I started

adding a tablespoon of pumpkin.

That stopped the tummy issues.

But he has not been getting that 

at mom's ...

Tomorrow that starts back. Lily even

gets some with her food. Read where

it helps with fur balls. 

Sometime ago I asked how you handled

Christmas trees with a kitten....

Well, reading up on it I found out

that you can put orange peels around

the bottom of the tree or even spray the 

tree with citrus oils. 

Cats don't like anything citrus.

On another note....at my brothers last week

Lily learned to jump on the cabinets.

Did not have my spray bottle with me.

She knows she is not supposed to cause

she has not tried it here.

She also has just started the head butting.

She is learning to enjoy being rubbed, esp

around the ears and the head and she is

becoming more loving. 

Dakota is doing well. I have had to 

remove his collar and not put

on a bandana due to his large

skin tag. Seems everything rubs it and

he has scratched it a time or two

making it bleed. 

When I picked him up at mom's and

got him home today, he ran in 

the house

looking for you know 

who!

Dakota and Lily thank you for

dropping in on them,

they love your comments.
