Scout
My Little Miss Scout is growing up too fast for me! Her ears have perked straight up, she's doubled in size, and she is getting smarter each day. I just love coming home from work and when I call her she runs to me with her tail wagging so fast it moves her whole lower half. The thing I love the most is when she puts her ears back. She will only do this for two reasons 1) she is excited to see me and Johnny and 2) she decided to do something she was not supposed to do. She is still small enough to sleep in Fred's HUGE cat carrier at night time(remind you Fred is 18 pounds), and until we feel she is crate trained, she can upgrade to her huge Crate we got her. I am happy to add that she will sleep in her crate all night and not have to wake Johnny or I up to take her outside. She loves her best friend Baily, who is Mitch's dog (Johnny's brother's) they will wrestle, nap, and eat together. I love when she walks me out each morning going to work and she just sits at the gate till she can no longer see me. I especially love when she is in her cuddle mood and she will nap on your chest and tuck her head under your chin. No matter how big she gets, i hope she continues to cuddle with me. I am so happy Johnny and I got her. She's the addition to our household that contributes many fun and loving memories. I cannot wait to see what many, many, many more years of memories she will bring for us.
Fred
Poor Mr Fred...the only male animal in the house has been having a couple bad weeks. We found him pulling out his own fur, so we googled it and monitored it. We tried loving him more, we tried changing the food, we tried ruling out loniless due to the new puppy, allergies, fleas. So after 3 weeks I decided to take him to Value Vet...which was mentioned by my friend Kayla. Value Vet is basically a doc in the box for pets and it's a walk in. We only waited 45 minutes and I got to enjoy looking at all the other cats and dogs coming in. I am definely am taking all my other pets there. They are clean, friendly, and not too expensive. Scout will be the next to go there for her second part of pup vaccines. The doc is thinking allergies that could be from the hew house, food, or other pets. They gave him a steriod injection and we have to give him an antibiotic....which is not going to well. We got off great the first night putting it in wet food, he threw it up that night and learned not to go near wet food. We have found that he does not like, cheese, tuna, milk, and ham. We were able to towel his arms door and toss it in..but that hasn't gone too well. Please keep your fingers crossed. I have not seen any hair or new bold spots on him, so I hope it is just allergies.
We adopting Fred last December from the Humane Society. He was so big when we adopted him, they couldn't get him in one of those "to-go" animal boxes, so they gave us a free crate!
Fred in his carrier, at 18 pounds, the vet called out, " Feline Fred," and I sure was proud to stand up holding his HUGE crate and walk him to the doc. You can see in the bottom left picture some of his spots where he over grooms himself and pulls the fur out.
Tulip
I just had to add Tulip, she has been sitting on my shoulders this whole time I have been blogging. She sits as if she is a scarf all the way around your neck. You could walk around the house with her just chilling on your shoulders. She is a great cat. I got her from my mom when my mom found her off the streets. She is a polydactyl breed meaning she has 32 toes..and I actually think her last nail trim they said she had more. She is due for another nail appt, so I will get the correct number. She LOVES to cuddle and watching tv, she will sit right on your chest and just "get comfortable."
I am so very thankful to have Fred, Scout, and Tulip. Erin and Ksavera get to blog about their children, and well...right now...these are my babies.
