Updates and running commentary from our critters

What I wonder is who keeps giving them these supervisory jobs if all they are going to do is sleep on them?

That mug shot of your pup melts my heart. Hoping that any stinkiness from him getting into the trash hasn’t lingered.

Astounding how dogs can feign remorse. I wonder what they are really thinking.

Looks like the stare down to me. Behind every innocent face is a devilkin.

The bath after his dumpster diving might remind him of bad behavior but he’s 5 year’s old and nothing has deterred him longterm. He’s the most difficult Aussie I’ve ever regretted living with, and I’ve regretted all 5 of them.

He doesn’t feign remorse. He has none. He’s pissed because he doesn’t look good in his mugshot.

Not necessarily OUR critter:
At 5:45am today the pine squirrel that the roomate suspected had gotten into the basement workshop yesterday and vandalized the workbench (w.i.p brass locomotives) was trying to tear down the basement door. The nerve! It took about a half hour to get him/her/it out after numerous attempts and a few almonds.
It was hilarious hearing the roomate coaxing the critter out in his ‘cartoon’ voice. The 15#+ black cat isn’t very interested in hunting much anymore. Now we have to figure out how it got into the basement to begin with.

Yeah, I get that look from both of mine. They’re a tag team.

Also not exactly “my” critter but this cute little snail came home from the farmers market with me in my compost bucket. Less than 1/4 inch long with horns extended

Update on Creamsicle

He was doing great day by day in relaxing and trusting us, until today when we tried to put him in the cat carrier this morning to take I’m to the vet. I will survive although with new scars of cat ownership. So someone pointed out that Orange Cats tend to be orange assholes. Just very cute and lovable assholes.

Meet ours again: Creamsicle the Orange Asshole. Of course, it is also said cats just reveal the personalities of their owner’s.

He is well into relearning how to CAT. He is grooming. If I could get a pic of his eyes today, they are pretty much clean. His rump is getting a lot of regular self-grooming. He has started to shake himself off. And he knows how to offer his butt and raise it into the scratch. For 1 to 10 seconds.

He definitely watched his sister! Principessa can stand on her head and drool into her ear while getting her butt scratched.

I don’t agree about the ginger personality in cats.
Our dear boy was a treasure. He discovered us one day and was very thankful that we took him in, made him well and loved him for 15 years. He was the best Colombian ground squirrel extinguisher. Chester the squirrel molester was his moniker.
Miss him🐈

It is hard to explain how you can hold 8.6# of pure murderous cat muscle and the aforementioned cat has his claw buried in your beard and is wriggling for life clawing and shitting on you wildly and then you look in his face and say “Awwww, he is so cute and SO STRONG!”
