Well I just had to call Nicki and make sure she was okay and wasnt covering her whole apartment pink. She is a good girl though, today she is going to unpack kitchen and livingroom and I totally messed up her day, by chatting away for a loooong time hehe.

She totally loves her new apartment and it sounds like it is a hit, both the apartment and her living so close to Jabas and Michael.

She told me to say hi to you all, and she misses you bunches.

I think I at least a couple of times have posted "now I have seen it all" well I was wrong both times lol......

Today Hera and Galahad were playing, not rough but hard, very energetic and tugging and waring, and running around and slapping oneanother with their paws. Next thing I see is Galahad standing over Hera and he is peeing on her........... ... Poor poor Hera, her back was soaked in pee. At first I was just staring and had to try and stop myself from laughing, it was sad and yet sooooo funny.

I hope it was just a booboo and they were playing soooooo heavy so by the time Galahad realized he had to go, well he HAD to go, and it happened to be on Hera hehe.

It may also be that he is 24 weeks old and it was a little demonstration, I will have to keep my eyes on the little Sir Galahad. And I am sure Hera will too, she was not too impressed. We are now headding to the shower, she actually looks like she is begging me to get a shower lol....

Yeah I know I am supposed to be on vacation BUT Jennifer is running a fever and Malin is having an upset stomach and is just in a horrible mood. I am having a cold, not bad, but well bad enough with two sick kids to take care of.

The totally bad thing though, is I am not at all sorry for not being able to go. I sooooo hated having to leave Galahad at the doggy spa/resort and only be able to be with him during day, after all he is only a baby and need his meds and all now. I have been stressing over this for about a week now, how he was going to be able to make it, not sleeping in my bed, not snuggling on the couch and well I could go on and on.

Chris, said I was jinxing us lol...... But I told him to go, he loves to go fishing and they have a pool hall right next to the condo, so h*ll be fine, and if we all feel better in a couple of days he will come home and get us.

I know I am soooooooo bad, but when I yesterday could feel I had a pretty bad cold coming on I felt kinda relieved 

So for now me and the kids and all the fur babies are home. Planning on eating us fat and watch all kinds of tv Chris cant stand lol

So hubby is still saying no way we can keep the mama cat and her kittens that we foster. BUT he didnt mind us naming them, and I see that as a good sign lol...

We have some ideas, but more names to choose from are appreciated.

Mama cat is hissing all the time at her babies, so the name we have up for try is HIZZY
the tabby kitten with white feet, looks like he has white gloves on so we try BUTLER
the grey little girl is a real sweetheart so the name we came up with there is COOKIE
the tabby with no white feet is wild and very boyish so TORNADO
the black is just like the tabby, totally wild HURRICANE

we are just trying these names out, anyone have any ideas

Well Galahad has been limping on and off, for a couple of days. It got better and no limping but today it was back, so I called the vet and we went for a checkup. It is in his little pawsy, his right front paw, he has an area where he is sensetive and the vet thinks that he might have a slight inflamation there. So he got anti inflamatory for 10 days and then back to check that it is okay. So at this point I am not real worried, he has to not jump or climb stairs or run like crazy until we have been back though, but in this weather well lol.... he doesnt do too much of that anyway.

They weighed him too, and he is now 23.5 weeks and is 96,6 lbs. He is getting to be such a big boy. Hopefully he will slow down a bit now though, he has been growing a bit too fast I think, even though we have downed the protein to 17%, but now when he is getting a bit older hopefully it slows down a bit.

Harley, was my husbands dog when we got married. He was a came from the shelter as a young dog and passed away in the summer 2002, 13 years old. He was such a good dog, not really the most snuggle dog, but when he wanted to he came up to you and showered you with kisses, but what he loved most was to be independent, run the house and tell the cat (JoJo) where the table should be.

The pics of him is one in fall, winter and spring coat and one in summer hair cut. And one where he is squeezing himself down in JoJo's bed. He had his own (he never did like to sleep in our bed) but every time JoJo was in her bed, Harley went over to it and she made room for him, I guess she knew she would be a flat cat is she didnt lol...

Galahad has been a good puppy all along, but he never really told us that he needed to go outside. Lately he has been walking closer to the front door when he is ready to go out, and of couse we keep an eye on him all the time and I guess he finally has gotten the hang of it.

Just now a few mins ago, I heard him barking and went to look why, he was standing by the front door, jumping up and down with his front legs and barked. My baby boy wanted to go out pee.

I am extatic, he barked to tell me he had to go potty. My baby is sooooooo good.
