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.

National Dog Day

Honoring my bud today.

Day Without Dakota

Once a week Dakota goes to my

mom's house and spends the night

so that he can play with her babes.

Lily misses him when he is gone.

But with cool temps she is hanging

on the deck all day. She only came

in for an hour yesterday when I went

to get Dakota.

That means from six to about six!

HAHA

But she was well entertained. The birds 

are very active this time of yr. 

and she watched them 

ALL DAY~

And this is her once she was 

all worn out from her

bird watching day.

Melts my Heart

Melts my heart.

Love

Taking care of mom....

I have been having some really

off days and 

these two are hanging right with me.

Posing Lily

No matter how she turns her head,

how she looks at you or not...

she is adorable.

FURBABES

Course TWO of my fave furbabes are

Dakota AKA

THE KING

and Tiger Lily AKA Lily Bit.

Look at those faces!

Now I am going to share the barn 

furbabes..

Princess.

Amazing EYES.

She is the sweetest.

Last one of the four that were

at the barn last yr at this time to trust

me. Now she is always there to greet me.

She would make a great indoor cat

and probably a good lap one.

She loves her head rubbed...and not easy.

Here is Princess' sister Tigress.

My fave.

 Tigress is a doll.

Also loves her head rubbed hard but

a tad more stand offish. 

  

But oh so pretty.

Of course there was a brother Socks

but we lost him a few months ago.

There is also the Tortie that was a drop

off. She is also the one

that had the skin issue from the 

fleas. I was about a week late treating

her and I noticed she had a raw spot

starting. Got her treated yesterday.

I started out calling her Brandua since that is 

the road she was dropped on but later

decided Shadow would be better.

She is so thankful for the love and attention

that when I drive up to the barn

she is the first to meet me...

MEOWING up a storm.

Now for the biggest furbabe...or hair babe?

My Misfire.

Isn't she so pretty?

She is a mess. There are two 

bigger horse I bring in on a lead line

at the end of the day.

They are MALES...enough said.

They are active and you have to be

careful of them cause of their size.

They come in first...why?

Cause they will not have it anyother

way and they are big enough that I don't

try to change their mind often.

Third to go in is Misfire. I open

the gate and tell her to go to her stall and 

in she goes.

Then I bring in Lily and Scout.

I don't have to walk them in on 

a lead line, I just grab their halter

and walk them in.

All sweet in their own way.

Hope you enjoyed the babes!

SIlly Lily Being SIlly Lily

Check her out....

Peek a Boo

Mom!

I have a screened in deck but

somehow a grasshopper

got on there...

and Lily found it bringing

it to the kitchen.

She looks so different with the 

ears pulled back.

It was dead, she lost 

interest fast so it ended

up in the trash!

OH ...these two make my heart

sing!

Dakota's Followering

For years I have shared my

best bud on FB or

blogs.

On FB he always had a great

following.

My friend Therea's sister

has always loved him.

Then when Lily came a long

she fell for her too...

But not until the other night

had Margaret, T's sister

got to meet Dakota.

He is not a social dog.

He don't like many.

It took years for him to like

Theresa. 

He greeted Margaret and hubby

the way he greets all.

Growling...

LOUDLY.

Not wanting them in the yard.

However I have taught him

that if I let them in the yard,

on the porch or in the 

house all is well...

And as you can see, a little

stracthing and belly rubbing

and she won him over.
