#fred's dogs

Spending these last few days with Bonnie before she goes on her next adventure. Since the drop off is out of state, baby is back home with partner. So it's just me and my dog, and it's so clear to me, even though it's a bitter truth: giving her up is the right thing to do. She's so much less stressed with no baby around, just adults, just her.

It hurts that I can't give her the environment she needs anymore, but I am so grateful and relieved that we found the right people to help. I'm hopeful that after this rocky transition, everyone will be happier and healthier, and she will have many more years being somebody's everything.

Oof though... Right now... The saw is still deep in my leg.

my cat is incredibly sweet and wants nothing more than to be within a 5 ft radius of a person at all times, gently chilling in your orbit. he is also VERY, VERY DUMB 

it’s a slow morning so husband and I are reading, not making much noise. meanwhile, Barold goes downstairs to use his box and when he comes out, he starts yowling like his lil heart done broke. husband goes to to the top of the stairs all worried like, “Barold, what’s wrong?”

kitty zips back up the stairs and just oozes onto husband’s feet, purring high-powered lawnmower style. the realization hit us both at the same time...

this. boy. this itty bitty kitty boy. 

he couldn’t see or hear us for ten continuous seconds, forgot. we. were. home. and immediately burst into tears !!!!

ages ago I got one of those little flower fountains to encourage our cat to drink more, because he was at risk of urine stones.

our dog was terrified of it, because she's terrified of everything. but within the last week or two, not only has she figured out that flower fountain water will not actually insta-kill dogs, she has decided that this is the ONLY water she will drink from now on.

so I had to buy a second fucking novelty flower-shaped pet fountain to put in her kennel

minnesota has skipped autumn altogether and decided it is suddenly winter this week, so out of spite I have likewise decided my only goal in life is to clean house for like 15 minutes before giving up and snuggling various animals in fuzzy blankets whilst I play through my collection of visual novels

they call him Barold Big Beans

“do not power off while computer is updating” does not take into account that my cat exists and WILL sit on the power button no matter what I do
