I finally got it!!!

It took what seemed like FOREVER, but I got Cookie snuggling with Stanley. Donya is pleasant addition.

Charlotte Day One

I claim this for myself.

Dinner time!!!

What????!

I walked, therefore I am tired!!

Donya

Try and take me out of this box! I dare you!!!!

This is my Stanley NOW.... so back off!!!

Fleas... part deux

It seems those damn thing don't DIE!!!! I found one creepy crawly on Fog... I have now bathed Fog and Nik. Nik nor Fog is not thrilled with me at the moment... I still have Donya and.... Cookie... Though, I am considering taking her in to be bathed... she may just kill me... I will have to do Hermione again tomorrow.... and then bug bomb the house..... Death to that damn possum.... I hope he eats something spoiled and gets sick!!!!

TDIAOV

Hermione and I received the award for TDI Active Outstanding Volunteer.. we have over 150 visits under our belt!!!

Fleas for all....

That darned possum shared more then a hiss and a scare... FLEAS!!!! Hermione got a bath this afternoon. Was petting Foggy, alas saw a creepy crawly... he needed a bath since he doesnt clean himself as well these days. He isnt thrilled with me at the moment.

I am more concerned with Nik, Donya and of course, Cookie.... UGH!!

Got to deflea the house too!!! Fun!!! Double UGH!!!!

Midnight possum attack!!!

OK, it isn't quite midnight... but I spent the last 20 or so (give or take) minutes chasing Hermione around the back yard with a hose and a flash light.

You see, she wanted to go out.... eagerly!!! I heard "the bark," which meant POSSUM! I headed outside. The possum was in the right corner on the ground vs. the fence, NOT GOOD! In my own personal panic, I grabbed the hose and turned it on full blast. While I was running around the yard trying to get Hermione away from the possum, I tried to squirt her away with the water. At one point, Hermione had the darn thing in her mouth (she did this a one other time). I swear it was dead. Of course, each time I thought that it wasn't. Live animals that are not domesticated scare the crap out of me, especially at midnight with poor lighting. She carried the thing 2 different time. It ran away each time after pretending. I screamed each time. It finally ran to the side walk ... again it looked dead... Now, that was when I was able to get Hermione away and in the house. Leaving our dear friend there. I hope and pray it is GONE by the AM. I am shaking, sick to my stomach, and very pissed at my dog.

Hermione is currently quite went on a huge "time-out" in the living room. She got up to move, I made her sit her ass back down. I realize that she is an animal, it is in her nature, BUT damn that was GROSS!!!!

Foggy Status

Fog is still doing well... he is on penicillin. His lip is a bit swollen and stinky, but he doesn't seem to be bothered much. Wee, only when I have to force feed him his pill. With cat it is nearly impossible, yet we manage...

Sensory Park in Thousand Oaks

Playspace!!!

Yesterday, Hermione and I ventured to the CDC's playspace. The kids that were there are the same ones that were at the park a couple weeks ago. We came in. I have to say these little ones quickly gathered around Hermione. It was so precious. There is this little girl who LOVES Hermione. She didn't want to do any therapies, she just wanted to hang out with Hermione. Her mom and I got her to interact with others. There was this little boy who came on over. He petted her. As he petted her, he said, "Ball." He was one of the young ones who was playing ball with her at the park. He wondered off to the ball pit. He got a bit upset, because it was circle time. He gave his mom a bit of trouble, but did come in and played next to Hermione. He truly enjoyed walking Hermione from task to task. Hermione has a real fan club!!!

Next week, we head to the sensory park in Thousand Oaks. YEAH!!!

Foggy is doing OK. His eye is a bit weepy, but nothing else to report. He does stay close to me when I am seated.

Donya seems to have good days and some intense coughing now and again. She loves resting in my open desk drawer. Silly kitty!

Nik and Cookie are just chugging along. Nik does try to sneak out now and again. Cookie will lay on the bed with me... but runs the moment I move.
