Shots updated

Ripley finally got her shots! I just had to wait a couple of weeks until my Christmas break. Now, I need to take our son's dog, Atticus, in for a nail trim! Oye vei! It's always SOMETHING, isn't it? Oh, and Abby got spayed (THANK GOD!). What a difference! That's Abby and Daisy, sort of together on top of my chair! And, that's the elusive Patches on the chair with hubby. She hates all the dogs and will only come out to the living room when they are OUTT! Finally, that's Atticus, our son's dog, YES, IN MY CHAIR! All our animals seem to love my chair and I have to constantly shoo them away!

Shots? No shots...sorry

So, yesterday morning, I bundled up Ripley to take her in to our local animal services clinic for her annual shots. Now, it is about a 12 mile drive out there. I looked them up online as they had just moved into a new building, and headed out with THE PRINCESS. She sat quietly on the passenger seat the entire way (I did not have her buckled in, but I held on to her leash with my right hand!)...next time I'll just put her in the back, but it was full of STUFF! Got there...lovely, nice new building, and they were CLOSED. Yes, CLOSED! For the ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEKEND! Workers were busy polishing the floors. Eh? Did they even say they would be closed for the entire weekend on their website? No. Nope. Nyet! ...sigh...so next Saturday, I'll have to pack her up in the car (I'll have it cleaned out by then) and trudge back all the way across town again...

His Highness, Prince Loki~Camera Critters and Pet Pride 110610

Here he is in all his majesty. He THINKS he rules the place! HA! Loki has been with us now about 13 years. We adopted him from a PETCO weekend adoption. I just fell in love with his blue eyes! He's a very mellow cat who prefers to sleep all day and then get up and feed himself, then go back to sleep! Awww...what a life!

This is why I have so few photos of Ripley!!!

...sigh... I give up!

Peek a boo Daisy! Camera Critters and Pet Pride 103010

This is Daisy, one of our three outdoor cats. She used to be an indoor cat, but one day, I let her out years ago and she's remained outside ever since. She does come in on really hot days and really cold mornings, like this morning. Right now, she is curled up next to me on the couch, on a pile of blankets! Daisy is about 12 years old now. She's very petite, light, and she's as quick as a mouse. Speaking of mice, she is my prime hunter! She kills mice, rats, gophers, birds, and twice even caught wild baby bunnies! (I'm ashamed to say...) She's even caught hummingbirds...sigh...but, for the most part, our yard is clear of "critters", thanks to her! She like to greet me at our front gate and let me know that she's ready for her afternoon snack! Camera Critters and Pet Pride for 103010

"C" is for cat~~ABC Wednesday 080410

I snapped this photo of my CAT Daisy a couple of days ago. She plunked herself down next to the water bowls for the birds. They were actually a few feet away from her and she wasn't even interested! Go figure! ABC Wednesday for August 4, 2010.

Daisy and the fence~Camera Critters 073110

Daisy is one of our cats. She used to stay inside, but one day years ago she went outside and she's loved it there ever since. Loki (our white cat) and our gray one are also now full-time outdoor cats. Daisy likes to take catnaps in the fences between our front yard and our neighbors'. I caught her out there napping yesterday morning. Sometimes when I'm watering, I'll accidently spray the fence and if Daisy is there, she lets me know that she does NOT appreciate that!!! Isn't she a cutie pie? Camera Critters for July 31, 2010.
