Silver Rescue

When Cashmere is done with nature he lets me know in no uncertain terms. Then I zip him up in his chest pack and we go for a walk. He loves that. What a cat❣️😻❣️

😴

It’s cold out there. It’s a good day for a nap. 😴 🥰😴 Yours Trulys, Freckles

Each year on Christmas morning one or two of my dogs transform themselves into elves. This year it was Cash’s and PattyCakes’ turn to help Santa. They put on their red outfits and skip through the streets and the yards and quietly leave small gifts at the neighbors’ door steps. It was raining this morning but they didn’t care. It was all in good cheer. Cash, contrary to his royal status and as head elf, both of which dictate good manners, was very badly mannered indeed. He left an extra gift 💩 in two of the well kept yards, which the slave elf (me) had to go back to and pick up. PattyCakes who does not often want to be seen with this proletariat, hung back in disgust in her pretty little Xmas dress. She did not wish to be splattered by his shake-offs. 🙄 Needless to say, Cash had a ball. PattyCakes was glad to get back home to her bed in the window. With a sigh of relief she turns over leash to another elf fool and settles down to watch the birds fly by and eat their Xmas meal. Seeds, that is. Now the elves’ job is done for another year and they are snuggled in their beds and under the blankets watching the rain come down instead of the snow. No we did NOT get a white Christmas. ⛄️🤷‍♀️ ❄️☔️❄️☔️❄️☔️❄️☔️❄️☔️❄️☔️❄️

As your pets get older and no longer able to have meaningful, joyous walks with you, consider getting stroller. They still get to be out in the fresh air and you get your excercise. Its a win win situation. This stroller is low to the ground so big dogs don’t have to be lifted in by feeble old women like me. The back wheels are large and go over most any terrain and the front wheels swivel for easy maneuverability. You can easily enclose them as you see in this video, or you can leave the hood up if your pet is comfortable staying on and not jump off. I’ve used this for several pets with diverse temperaments. It has been great for all of them. Go ahead, treat your dog and yourself.

On cool mornings I take my dogs for a walk. This morning it was the old ones’ turn. It’s difficult to manouver them now. Both dogs need to be lifted into the van, not an easy feat for this old body but we manage. I keep the stroller in the car in case we need it for Pacino but lately he’s been going under his own steam. There are no more trails for them to enjoy as trail are usually too long for them. This field is made to order. It is large and a couple of rounds is more than enough for them to be happy. Give your old dog as much enjoyment as possible. There is still a lot they can do. You will see the joyful step when then get back home. They will take healing naps. Too many people give up their old pets. Don’t be one of those. They have so much love left to give. Bask in it. Your heart will also heal as you are healing his.

C’mon Auntie Chaaaaalit! Gibs us da treats already!!! Do you have beggin dawgs? How do you deal with it? Mine wait patiently (or not so patiently) until our last bite. Then they each get one bite. They say no human food. But for a treat I say it’s just fine. 😊

The thing about Jackson is this: When he brakes wind (trying to be polite here) he is all surprised and turns to look at his butt. Then he looks back at me in all innocence. 💩💩💩 Do you have a weird dog? Or cat?

She was a friendly homeless cat once. When her owner landed in the hospital near death from a hit and run, it took months for me to get the homeless co-ordinated to get her to me. In the meantime she felt lost without her person and turned feral. Barely fed, she had to learn to hunt and by the looks of it she didn’t do that very well. I finally have her now and am training her to get her back to trusting humans. She’s a delute Tortie and as Torties go she is opinionated and dislikes other cats. Hopefully she will view me as a decent human one day and not another cat. 😹😻

Do you have a good sport? This cute boy loves sticking his nose in my cupped hand and stay there for minutes on end. Right after we did this little video he summersaulted over my lap about 15 times. 🤣😆🤣😆🤣 Here is Johnny Cash, HRH Little Sh*t, dancing wif Momsie to AGT’s finalists Northwell Health Nurse Choir fabulous song “I will Stand By You”. 🎼💃🕺🎼

It’s time to follow Sammy’s lead and get our snoring on. 💤 We hope you’ve had a good day.

Cashmere is a little bashful tonight. He didn’t have much to say tonight so it’s a quick bath and onto his bed by the window. Good Night Everyone 😻

Land shark! 😂🐋🐾 Do you have a little land shark? At least he leaves my fingers in tact. 😂😅🤣 His Royal Highness Little Sh*t devours his peanut butter treat. 🙀😂🙄😜

Night time. Bath time. Contented. Purrrr. Yours Truly, Cashmere 🐈‍⬛🐾😻 ❤️ If you’ve ever rescued a feral cat then you know that it takes them a long time to acclimate and to trust you. I am talking about a truly feral cat, one that has never, ever been loved or touched. One that is terrified of your presence, your voice, your touch. That is what Cashmere and his brothers were. In a feral cat every inch of hard earned trust is a huge victory. Yes, I mean huge. With Cashmere it took longer that it did with his brothers. Oh, they learned fairly quickly to feel safe in this home and they enjoyed themselves with each other and the toys and life given to them. But learning to enjoy my touch was something altogether different. That took much patience,unconditional love, and never giving up. Tonight, as every night, Cashmere lays beside me for his one on one with me and he takes his bath before he purrs himself to sleep. Cashmere was 12 yrs old when he turned another corner, a mile stone, and decided to give me his trust. He is 16 yrs old now. He mostly sleeps during the day. But several times a day and night he demands my attention and calls to me and we have a conversation. I’m not sure what he has to say for himself but we carry on with much importance and solve the worlds problems. And it is good. 😻❤️😻

Sweet little LuLu is in a lot of pain. Again. It’s her back. She is likely a dachshund mix. Her little legs area short and her body is long. Her body is thick, however, not thin like that of a Dachshund’s. All that combines for a not so good combination to keep her spine safe and healthy. She’s always overcome it with 6, or so, weeks of strict crate rest. But this time her pain is escalated and she has a hard time being still trying to get into a painless position. 3 types of pain meds help a lot but she still feels it. Perhaps that’s good. Perhaps feeling the pain will keep her from feeling frisky and injuring herself further. This video shows how stressed she is. LuLu never breathes with her mouth open unless she’s stressed. This is going to be a long stretch of bed rest. We are both going to be loopy by the time this is over. 😟 Do you have a pet with back issues? Tell me about your experiences.

Could he be more rotten? ~ Jackson, the chocolate hunk of rottenness. Our latest rescue. He still needs a lot of work but there is promise on the horizon. 🤪

Sweet old thing❣️ Pacino gets so excited when we spend time together. He’s always in my face breathing heavy😂. He gets so close I can’t see around him. Nose to nose is his best love distance. No social distancing here. 🙄 My cell phone is literally resting on my nose to shoot this video. 😂🤣😂🤣 The old ones.... They are special. 7 more days and he’ll be 15 yrs old.

Here is the video I promised in the last post. 😻

On this nice warmer day Pacino and Hannah are on an outing before the rain comes. 😺🐕 Please consider donating to Hannah's senior medical care through PayPal at [email protected]. Thank you❣

I had a accident today. I hads da diarrheas and I stepptses in it. I didn't seed it wuz a problem. I mean litter stuckt to my paws so no poop was tracted anywhereses. But mom, OMG, you should have seen her going on and on and on abouts it! So she gave me a paw bath, and for good measure she said, she also washed my face. Well, I admits I looked better after that, but I didn't have a date, so who cared anywho!!!! I thought about peeing on her jeans but I decided to show her I was the better cat. Maybe she'll respect my right to stink da next time.

This is the cute video of Hannah and Willa. You can see Hannah is her talkative self and Willa walks almost normally.
