Happy Halloweeeeeen!

This morning I wasn't moving for anything.  I remained snoozing on my bed while Devin put on boots on, then put my collar on.  It took some convincing and a piece of banana to get me to move.  The banana came first. I was holding out for something better. It never came. Up I got and went for my early morning walk.

snoozing - Devin slipped on my boots

Collar slipped on...still waiting it out. Maybe Devin will go away.

 This evening when Devin came home from work, we went out for a quick walk.  There weren't too many ghosts or goblins around. *phew*  We came back home for my much anticipated supper!!!  YUM!!!

Supper, feet treatment, naps, feet treatment then bed. That's what tonight holds for me.

Devin contacted Lori Rose for more treatment stuff.  She's going to send pills and her oil mixture tomorrow.
I'm to wait 2 weeks before starting the pill treatment.

That's about it for today.  Thanks Nana for stopping by to take me out earlier.  Even if it did take you longer to dress me than my time spent outside.

Turning my head away from the ice cube.  What's up with that Nana?? Where's my KONG??

back into my nest - waiting for my KONG.  Insulted by the ice cube Nana gave me.

This morning Devin didn't get up early to do my foot. We decided it would be okay if I only had 1 treatment today. Ideally I should have 2 treatments in a day, but it's just far too early when Devin has a 12hr work day.

When Devin came home from work I was in the bedroom.  Devin managed to get me up off my bed to go "out".  I ran down the hall, and was cut off at the pass.  That Devin sure is quick!  I was stopped just as i attempted to enter into my nest.  Devin closed the door, and off we went on my pre supper "out".

After supper Devin did my foot treatment for me.

Hanging out on the couch...waiting for phase 1of treatment to be over

Post Treatment - Day 10

Post treatment - Day 10

Devin and I are going to hang out with each other tomorrow. Maybe if it's not too hot we can go to the park or go on a long walk.

This Is How We Roll Today....

Devin woke up in the middle of the night to find that i managed to kick my bed a few feet from the dresser.
I was laying half on and half off my bed.  Sometimes I sleep like an octopus.

I was up extra early this morning for breakfast, Devin told me it wasn't time and to go back to bed.  I wandered back to my bed for a little bit, then got up and gave the look of "are you ever going to feed me again".  It worked, Devin got up and fed me.  We went back to bed and out like a light is what you could best describe me as. *z z z z z z*

I got Devin up a few hours later -I swear Devin has spidey senses or something; can sense when i've moved about off my bed.  I was laying again half in and half out of the room staring at the door to go outside.

We got up and went for a walk. It sure was hot this morning!  Thank goodness for the a/c!
Back in from our walk i made myself comfy on the couch.  I think I've decided that I will be spending the day there.  It's so comfy!  I can't believe I waited a whole year until making that discovery!

So sleepy day it is.  Here are a few photos :)

Last night - Tuckered out from my play date yesterday

Today - Back in from my walk - crashed out on the couch. I like to hide my head while I sleep.

Did Someone Have An Accident In the House? Devin?

Where do I even start with how my day went today??

Devin arrived home from work, came to say hi to me. After taking one step inside the hallway, instantly assumed I had an accident in the house (haven't had an accident since I was sick last year), another step, then another... It was only after the 3rd step that it became apparent to Devin that either I had a VERY large bladder that emptied (even after Nana had been here for me earlier in the evening) OR something was definitely leaking.  Devin opened the door to the storage room, and there was about 2inches of water sitting on the floor and growing. The carpets were soaked, I came out from the bedroom and took a step on the carpet.  I thought Devin peed on the carpet or something, my feet just squished right down. I was absolutely disgusted and crept off to my "nest".  For the record, the water tank/heater blew sometime last night while Devin was at work. 

Lost amongst some of the items from the storage room.

What's going on??

The landlord came down to take care of the problem.  Devin was in and out of the apartment a lot, this really set me off. I cried up a storm and didn't want to be left alone, nor did I want to be left alone with the landlord.
Devin did put down a KONG with cranberries, but I managed to maneuver it to the point that I had them all gobbled up before Devin put one foot out the door.   My eyes were blood shot (i was stressed), and I was upset. Could this day get any worse for me, i wondered??

You see what was suppose to happen was:
Devin comes home
We go for a walk
We come home
I have breakfast
We go to bed.

It's all about patterns.  NONE of which happened for me today.

I did get a few extra snacks today to try and make up for the chaos that was tossed my way.
I know, some would call me dramatic or a Diva. I like to call myself sensitive to change :)

Anyway, Devin cracked open the chewnola's that Auntie Shelley/Mat/Parker sent up for me.
The chewy got to be about 3 inches short, Devin and Nana watched me like a hawk then decided before I choked on it, it would be in my best interest that it was taken away and disposed of. 

*cue jaws music*

Nana in the background, CHEWNOLA!!!! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM  

 I had cookie all over face, paws and up my legs.

Devin tried to tempt me with dried liver treats and used the Bull Wrinkle to poke it out of my mouth, at times, but wasn't fast enough to grab it up. Finally the Wrinkle was used to cover over top of it, when Devin went to take it away I did a nose strike with a growl towards Devin's hand, my head was already pressing towards my chewnola.... I was told "I don't think so!" It was removed without injury. I looked frantically for it, i knew it was just right there, how could it disappear so fast?? 
I'm slowly learning.  I must admit though, I don't get the whole, give and take thing.

Together we'll work on this one.

Giving dirty looks, where did my chewnola go??? I know someone took it. which one took it ???

 Devin cleaned my ears today - *random* I was good for my left ear, but when it came time for my right ear (Devin hurt me once before by accident), I've been super protective each time since when Devin goes to clean that right ear of mine; today was no different. I let out a little protest "yelp" but not really, and quickly turtled pulling my head into my chest, and covering both my ears with my paws all curled up.  NO ONE was getting in there. hahaha   Well, or so i thought.  Devin did get in there, but didn't put the drops in. Just on the tissue and cleaned about.   *le sigh*  I was completely disgusted after that experience, jumped off the couch and went to my nest. I proceeded to give dirty looks from a distance.

sticking out my tongue

giving Devin the silent treatment - ignoring you....

The above aside it was an okay day.  Devin has the A/C in now for us. *YAY*  It's suppose to be real hot this week; or so Devin mentioned to me.  I hate the heat.  BRING ON THE SNOW!!

After such a crazy unscheduled/unorganized day, it's time to hit the hay.

Gotcha Day Photos And Day Recap

What a greyt day!

Devin and I puttered around together.
We went for walks
Shopped at petvalue for some "gotcha day" gifts
Went for an oil change (i hung out in the backseat and munched on my new snack)
Went for a visit at Nana's
Came home, had a special supper - my kibble with a can of sardines *NOM NOM*

More learning and accepting today. When it was time for me to jump into the truck after my shopping spree, Devin tried to take away my new "chewie" so I could jump up into the truck.  I resisted, Devin didn't push the issue for a moment. Less than a minute later, Devin tried again. I gave up the chewie, jumped into the truck.  Devin held the promise and gave it back to me.  I went to town chewing up a storm.
 Devin pet me a few times while I chomped away. No growling, no aggression whatsoever.  PROGRESS.
When it came time for me to get out of the truck Devin was able to remove the chewie from me.  I was told I could have it back when we got into the house; Devin kinda fibbed.  At some point between the truck and the house Devin decided I might have had a little too much.  I didn't get it back :(
Instead Devin did end up cutting it into 3 pieces for me.  Now i have 3  6inch pieces of chewie to NOM NOM on.

I went back to bed after breakfast.

Cuddling with the pillow. It makes a nice body pillow :)

Laying on the carpet at petvalue with my new chewie "Bull Wrinkle" - Devin was a bit grossed out when we found out what it was.  I didn't care, I pulled the biggest one from the basket. NOM NOM

Proud as punch with my new chewie, I carried it across the parking lot to the truck

NOM NOM

Meanwhile, back home from petvalue - I ran into the back of my nest with my new chicken stuffy :)

Psst, can you see all that hair growth on my thighs???

Going crazy town on the chicken

Taking a breather

Tuckered out~

Quick nap

Back in the truck, on our way for the oil change. NOM NOM -6inch chewie  (even with the chewie being smaller in size, I let Devin take it from me ~ learning~)

Do I...Don't I... Do I.... so tempting...

Another quick nap

Visiting with Nana and Rye-Lee
