A Week in Review

Martok wanted to show off his latest skills and accomplishment. 

Another class down, he starts basic agility next!

Taricha is leaving all that silly school work to the puppy.

She'd rather just enjoy the grass.

I visited a snake guy and got to play with some beauties! 

The dogs we'rent so interested in that.

Sort of came home with two new snakes. 

A pair of red blood pythons.

Most importantly we visited with Hank.

He was our shepard foster a while back who found his forever home!

Martok and Hank got along extremely well, even with the size difference.
I was delighted to see Hank doing so well and happy.

The summer fun better keep on comin!

Still Exciting

Even though Hank is gone, we've been staying busy and our house has been anything but quiet. A new kitty came to live with us!

This is Toodles, a two year old intelligent beast. Taricha first met this kitty when he was just a baby of 8 weeks old so it was an easy transition for him into our home. He is my sister's cat but for whatever reason he wasnt happy there, or they weren't happy with him. I offered to take him until we figure it out and we break some of his bad habits and he has some bad ones. (food begging mostly.... food crazy cat.)

I'm becoming attached to him... he is super smart, calm (compared to my skittish pussies, pun intended.) and entertaining  He will climb on a stranger's lap and happily purr like mad. He sleeps on the stairs curled in a ball! Toodles has been keeping us on our toes.

Then we finally had a little more snow! Needed an excuse to wear the hoodies.

  

The next day the snow was gone. 

I dont think Taricha liked the mud that was left. It was caking on our feet so bad it felt like wearing boots. We managed to log in 3 miles despite the terrain. (I didnt have her wear pack cause I didnt want it getting thatdirty.)

I hope everyone is still getting outside this winter! Cold or not! 

Now for some cuddle time.

Familiar Haunts

I think Taricha is starting to enjoy showing Hank the ropes. Including her favorite place in the world, the skate rink. 

Just Hanging Out

Life with Hank has continued to be easier than imagined. He is a real dream to be around and as sweet as can be. If Im up doing something, he's right behind me ready to go. If I sit down to something, he naps in an instant. If he's bored, he picks up toy and entertains himself. Hank might have grabbed a few pillows today but very quickly learned, they weren't toys and hasn't looked at them since.

He makes himself comfy everywhere. This is how you enjoy some winter sun.

Taricha is getting plenty of alone of time and attention too, no worries there. She enjoys having company but she still enjoys our long walks, just me n her and no one else in the world.

The two really have become buddies over the last week ish. They tussle and eyeball each other over the best spots to lay. Taricha likes to take up 3/4 of any surface she's on. Poor Hank squeezes himself onto the edge of everything.

So all in all. Things are getting their flow and all is well. The cats have even decided to come down out of hiding! We have made great leaps in the last two days with them. Suthek the fuzzy black furrball has even jumped up on the bed with both dogs a couple times. I have kept the baby gate up just so the cats feel like they have some safe place while they adjust. For now! Ill be taking it down soon enough as Hank has proven himself worthy of full house range.
