The day that changed all our lives(especially the dog's)

Election day was very dreary & rainy so a quiet day at work. Around lunch time Greg( the owner) came into the pro shop carrying a cardboard box. On his way in he said "You won't believe what I just found in a pile of garbage"

Two baby kittens! So tiny & so scared!

He looked at me & said "I just can't take them to the animal shelter so you take one & I'll take the other." I stood there stuttering & thinking I'm not even a cat person, why would I do that!

Then I picked up this little helpless kitten & thought if I took her home Jess would be able to find someone to adopt her.

Next thing I know here I am driving home with her in a box. I called Jess & told her I was on my way, so she headed to the store to get food & actually came home with kitten formula. We figured she was about 4 weeks old & she weighed just over a pound.

She met the dogs & was not the least bit afraid of them

Gave her some kitten food & she ate it right down.

Jess put her in her coat & off we went to the pet store to get kitty litter & toys for her.

Popster walked in the door & said. "What are you crazy! Why on earth would you do that!" Then he sat down with her & he was putty in her paws😏

This is the way he ate dinner with her perched on his shoulder.

Apparently this is what she has decided she likes to do. Stay tuned & I'll let you know if she's staying!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
