Tasty Thursday

Boomer : FINALLY! We get to harvest the grass

* MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH *

Coco : Ewwwww. Boomer! Will you chew with your mouth closed?

Coco : Don't make me use my paw!

Boomer : I'll give you paw!

Boomer : And here's more of my WIDE OPEN MOUTH!
Coco : That's just so gross! You're disgusting!

Boomer : INCOMING!

Coco : Whhhaaaatt!?

Boomer : Look what I found! Well, I'm not too sure what it is....

Boomer : I'll take a closer look and sniff

Boomer : Oh YUCK! It's a big juicy worm!
Felix : WHAT? A big juicy worm? Come to me, wormmmm!
Silly kitties. It's just some moist soil from the grass container

Monday Musing

Whisky : Hello Furriends! Mommy says I am like a carpet when I lie down this way...a carpet that yelps if stepped on. BOL!
Whisky has osteoarthritis in her hips and muscle wastage in her hind legs

It's all good until it's time to get up. We notice she is most able to get up with the right motivation (read : TREATS), although there are times she can't, and ends up "swimming" in that position until we help lift up her back end

She uses her front legs to push herself up. Sometimes she ends up sliding backwards. Whisky has been going for regular acupuncture and it has helped. Now, we have started her on physiotherapy to help rebuild her hind leg muscles in a safe manner

Whisky : But once I'm up, I'm ready to chase anyone for treats, even if I sometimes slide around as I walk / run!

We ended up buying her an array of baby socks to see if the little rubber dots are able to help. The blue booties are good as they have a rubber sole, giving very good traction but are a little too big. The others fit better but have the rubbery stuff at the wrong areas. She needs them to be closer to the top part and at the sides (to help when she gets up)

After doing some reading, I read that puffy paint can mimic the non slip qualities. It took a while but we finally found 2 types of Puffy Paint!

We got to work with her older socks. It wasn't as easy to get nice uniform shapes...but that's probably because we aren't very crafty. LOL

Whisky : Chasing after my treat ball is part of my exercise routine...this is one exercise I really enjoy!
The puffy painted socks didn't seem to make much of a difference. Looks like it's back to the drawing board!

I've ordered some non-slip fabric so we'll see if that works better. Doggy boots might work better but those aren't made of "breathable" materials so might be rather uncomfortable.  If anyone has any other suggestions, please leave us a comment!

Turbo Track Thursday

Ling : I can't believe I've never played with the Turbo Track prior to this

Ling : This may be the first time I'm playing with it, but I sure am good at it!

Ling : Just look my style! I declare myself Queen of the Turbo Track!

Ling : Kiss the Queen of the Turbo Track!

Tutu : What?

Tutu : No, I'm not ready to go to bed yet

Tutu : Hello, my furriends! I hope you're having fun this Tutu Tuesday

Tutu : Because I certainly am having loads of fun!

Tutu : The best toys are those that smell and taste like Mommy. MOL!

Torture Thursday

Tutu : !!!!!

Tutu : Good COD! WHAT is that?

Tutu : ???

Tutu : My COD! Something has eaten Cosmo's head!

Tutu : Cosmo? Cosmo? Is that you?

Tutu : Okay, his backend still smells like Cosmo....

Tutu : OH! There's Cosmo's head! 

Tutu : I better do a sniff test....

Tutu : And a whap test to see if Cosmo's head still responds. It does! YAY!

* BOP BOP BOP *
Tutu : Hey Cosmo! Wake up! Are you there?

Cosmo : What do you want, you brat!?
Tutu : Oh, just wanted to make sure you are alright....why are you wearing that shirt?
Cosmo : Just leave me alone, will ya?
It's my fault actually. I put "spot-on" on everyone. Unfortunately, I put it a little off center on Cosmo and he was determined to lick it off so I put the cone of shame to prevent him from doing so. Seeing how miserable he was, I then made him wear a tshirt until it dried. Sorry, Cosmo!
