She knows she’s guilty!
I washed our spring/summer quilt to put away for the winter and after folding it, kind of set it upright so none of the animals would be tempted to lay on it. Then I walked in to see this.
She wiggles herself in.
This is literally how Maggie spent the majority of her vacation.
Last night:
This morning:
Two kids and a dog
I want this all winter.
Lap antics
Ahhhh, a nice warm kitty on my lap.
Someone is upset that my lap is full.
Maybe if I get closer and just stand here the cat will move.
The cat is getting nervous.
A little standoffish.
It’s all good.
See? Friends.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it to my pedicure this morning.
I could sit here all day…
Lazy bones pets
Maggie rarely sits here.
This is what usually happens when I try to get a picture with Maggie.
How I spent my day.
This morning was the first really rainy/windy/cold morning we’ve had. I’m frozen from being at the bus stop for 10 minutes. I’ve been inside for 10 minutes now and my hands are still ice (and I was wearing gloves). I just couldn’t get warm so when this happened I sucked it up.
Oh to be this comfy.
The places this dog sleeps.
Drunk dog!
Or one that loves the sun and is just falling out of her bed because she’s pulled it off as she slides out of it.
A rare Owen cuddle.
Lazy dog
She was laying on the back of the couch in the sun and accidentally rolled off and this is how she landed. And stayed.
But here’s the whole picture. 🙂 Charlie stayed there for quite awhile.
Maggie kills me with this bed.
The epitome of pitiful.
This is a new one.
They love this house!
I love this smushy furry face.
We grilled steak for dinner and Maggie got this…
She was thrilled!!
Maggie loves the front yard!
She especially loves being out with us.
How I spent my first true alone hours.
So this morning was actually my first day fully alone since the kids both started school—Papa and Grannie were here on the first day of school and I did get out of the house to go shopping… But today. Today I was ALONE. A-L-O-N-E. So I sat my happy ass on the couch with the dog on my lap and watched about five hours of TV. And it was glorious.
This isn’t who we expected to lay here.
I’m guessing the cats will enjoy it more once we get the bird feeder up!
Someone wants to play and someone doesn’t.
That can’t be comfy.
We are bad doggie parents.
We had to take Maggie in for a non-emergency emergency appointment. I’m glad I’d already researched local vets and had picked one… And that they could get us in within the hour.
We’re always a little lax on cutting her nails. Tom actually attempted it a few weeks ago before our move but hit the quick on one and it bled and bled and he obviously stopped and didn’t finish them.
Well, before then, I’d noticed one was getting very long and starting to curl around back towards her pad and I know I mentioned it but it got forgotten. Then the move happened, then vacation, etc. I noticed her licking and chewing on one foot but didn’t think much of it. Until this week and I rolled her over to look at her foot and OMG that nail had curled around and was growing INTO HER PAD.
Oh the horror and guilt we felt… We immediately cut the nail as best we could (we’d actually luckily unpacked that box) and it was bleeding a bit and we wanted to get it checked out to make sure it was okay.
The vet’s office was awesome. They gave her an exam, cut the rest of her nails, and gave us some antibiotic wipes. They said it wasn’t bad at all. (And in fact, it was pretty much healed by the next morning, so we likely could have skipped the appointment but of course we felt better going.)
Even though it was a regular appointment I was steeling myself for the cost. And it was only $59. It was $58 for the exam and $1 for the antibiotic wipes. Complimentary nail clip, complimentary tick pill. So we have a great vet now!!
More windows equal more sun equal comfy sunning spots!
