Got the bed from Amazon here's a link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086QQL7TN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Her fur's a nightmare it's killed three vacums and when I touch her it's like a dandelion puff ball explosion and it's year round back in November and December she looked like a horse shedding it's winter coat
That's actually him looking down and he was mad about the noise from the alarm system
Here's the girls waiting for me to run the gauntlet between them into the kitchen
@robertfreise That's one thing I've always wondered WHY they don't have that function in the forums. It's an option I THINK forums have had for many years. I haven't been on them for years so I can't say for sure.
I love the photos of Ci Pwff and all of @RobertFriese's owners who allow him to live with them. It may take months before I am able to show a picture of me with Simon or Charlie. But I can show you the pictures that grab my attention. The little curled-up ball is Simon. And the larger one posing is Charlie.
And to top off my day tomorrow, apartment maintenance is coming by between 8 to 12 to install fire alarms in both bedrooms and exchange out the filters in the HVAC. We pick up the boys at 1pm.
And starting at 1pm today we go into the severe weather - high winds, lightning, and chance of tornados.
Novica, re the tee shirts, Sade has a thread in Commons about lost in cuteness where she and her young daughter are looking for ideas for things to create. Why don't you post your request there? I asked for more clothing suitable for children and she has come up with one that can be used not only by a girl, but with texture change, used by an adult. Longer sleeve tees are right up there, plain and decorated.

@memcneil70 Simon looks to be a marbled tabby? Meaning a bit thicker lighter stripe (or darker stripe) which may curve slightly more than a typical tabby. I just love the hopeful looks on their faces!
I'll go check out that thread, thanks!
My Katie (blonde cocker) with her friend Sherman (black and white cavapoo). Sadly we may not have Katie too much longer. She is undergoing chemo for a very aggressive breast cancer but the prognosis is only 6 to 12 months with the chemo.
@charliejudge Oh, Katie is beautiful with that blonde coat! I know you are treasuring every moment with her. You'll have memories of her with Sherman that will last a lifetime. One thing to perhaps look into, is Farmer's Dog, which is human grade dog food- may help her with digestion as chemo is very harsh. Not to mention, the Farmer's Dog food pampers the dogs like crazy. It's 50 percent off the first box, then you can schedule boxes whenever you want. I am giving the four pooches I have one pouch every 4-5 days instead of each dog getting their entire pouch every day. I split the one pouch 4 ways, and mix with their kibble. So my next box isn't until July!
How old is Katie? Sherman? He looks like Mr. Personality!
Thanks. We have some digestive care wet food we mix with her kibble for a few days after her chemo treatment. She did well for her first two chemo treatments but her third treatment was pretty hard for a few days. Fortunately she only needs one more chemo treatment.
Katie is 12 years old and very sweet. Sherman is her special friend she met at the dog park. He is 3 years old and very active. I try to arrange for them to meet at at the dog park as often as possible.
Here is an earlier picture of Katie protecting our family cat Tiger (now deceased).
@ChalieJudge Katie and her buddie Sherman are very wonderful. I will keep Katie in my heart and hope she has many pain free days with you and your family.

Oh how funny! We were talking about dogs and a basset griffon verdeen won Westminster. Guess what one of the four dogs is which I own? The rescue group had him as a mutt, and I thought when I picked him up (literally) that dog was a basset breed. Sure enough! They're not that well known, but after Buddy Holly I bet more rescue groups will take a closer look at those compact, super heavy doggies! Mine is named Dibbs, because I got first, last, and middle dibbs on him as they were going to kill him due to an out-turned knee. (He does just fine on it, thank you very much.) The rescue group pulled him 14 minutes before euthanization.
Hoping things are going well for you Mary, it's 2pm here in Florida so your event is underway! (the kitties, hopefully not the weather.) It's 85-87 here in Pensacola, up in 90's this week.
Here's Duvee and Dibbs. Duvee the Pekingese is actually Sir Duvahl and Dibbs...well, he's just Dibbs. Both are a bit of a tangled mess after romping in the bamboo and dirt.
What IS it about dirt?
I haven't forgotten Bugsy
Multiple tornado warnings but they turned east just before they moved north of Centennial. Glendale & downtown Denver escaping worst of it. DIA getting it now. Radar pretty. Have all computers off, on iPhone, watching 9NEWS on iPad.
And snow in the Rockies!
My babies! I can't figure out why some of the pictures are sideways? They are not that way when I look at them on the computer.
This is Harley hes our boxer. He is only 8 yrs old but has already started going grey. He has Addison's Disease and now has to wear a diaper because of accidents.
Pete was an adoption, someone I worked with husband passed and she hated cats was going to have him put down. She couldn't even tell me how old he was.
Skittles-I had to have him put down not to long ago, it was a hard decision but he had a lot of issues. The first picture he was mad because I gave him a bath. He had stopped cleaning himself and I had to start bathing and clipping him to keep the mats out and him clean. We built a catio for them off the back window they were all rescues and declawed.
Jazz was my baby, he was my first cat and I loved him so much. He went into liver failure and didn't make it.
Your dogs are pretty.
Here is Sammy Duke. I just call him Sam. I don't know his original name. I was driving down a rural road, and as usual I was driving slow, enough so that Sam decided he would stand out in the middle of the road to get me to stop. It worked. When I did stop he came up to my car window and I pat him on the head. I was about to leave, and he was grudingly about to walk away, when I noticed he was a rack of bones. I thought uh-oh, he's starving, but he was so pretty I thought he must be someone's pet. I decided I would "steal" him because if he was someone's pet they have abandoned him. So I "stole" him.
I think he is a foxhound, but in central Appalachia they call foxhounds, coonhounds. When I first "stole" him almost everytime a vehicle would come by or I would leave he'd climb into the vehicle and ride shotgun. i think because it was taught him when he was used for hunting. I got him a transport cage and he actually likes to go in of his own accord to sleep or relax. I also think that was trained behaviour when they crated him up to go hunting. However, he hates going into the chainlink kennel in the backyard.
He is very old, but I'm not sure how old. I think the original owners were hunters that dumped him near some stranger's house assuming that house would adopt him (they didn't or never noticed him) when he got too old to hunt as he has mobility problems with his hips. He is a gentle as can be with people but I think probably the foxes and coons of the world have a different opinion of him.
Ah @Daventaki, your little guys have some serious attitude! Harley knows he has done something and you are telling on him. Pete seems to be saying, 'Just get on with it, I want dinner.' Skittles and Jazz were lovely and after the grief my flatmate feels from the loss of his cat, Jake, who was rescued I understand how the love stays with you. It took five years before Thom was ready to adopt again. And I still look for Bugsy at times.
@nonesuch00, you and Sammy Duke were meant to be together. Thank you for adopting him when you found him.
If I lived in a house with a fenced in backyard, I would have a menagerie like we had when I was little. But we are restricted to two pets only in the apartment.
Mary
Yes, dogs and any pet do make things more difficult. Larger breeds, they really need space and need to stay on their property. So many owners don't abide by that. I had not had a dog since childhood as they are so restrictive when you have one if you are the type that likes to make an occasional trip on a whim. I know some people take their dogs everywhere when they travel but I do not, so I never got a dog as an adult. Sammy Duke is however, easily my favorite dog of all time. He started out about 15 - 20 lbs last June 2022 when the first time I lifted him into the car, and now must weigh between 40 - 50 lbs. Sadly, this type of dog has some sort of typical neurodegenerative disease in old age and Sam is showing it on some days. Cold, winter days without much exercise make him feel it the worse. Moderate exercise in contrast wards off the effects of the neurodegenerative disease. The diseaase affects his muscular mobilty and circulation to the skin, which exercise, when he's able, wards off by flushing the muscles and skin with nutrient and immune cellular laden blood so the neurodegenerative collateral damage can get, at least partialially, repaired. The nerves themselves mostly can't get repaired, at least not that much, at least that's my experience with crushed nerves in my face 22 years after the accident that crushed and rewired them. LOL, it's like short circuit, some of the nerves are routed to the wrong places.
So @memcneil70 How'd everything go?
@daventaki Harley looks distinguished with the gray :) and so far as that lady goes, well, polite society won't allow me to say what I would say to her. The cats are lucky to live with you, they're very cute.
Well, Thursday was a rolling disaster.
Denver experienced the longest period of rain from Wednesday night to Friday morning, over 4.5 inches. Heaviest on Thursday.
Maintenance, who had told us to prepare for their visit Thursday between 8 and 12, never showed. The rain slowed them down. We left with the boys' pet area a mess still. It is near the water heater door.
At the Denver Animal Shelter, Charlie was in a large dog crate, he had refused to get into the smaller cat crate, both cats were of the opinion this was not a good idea. I had brought old throw blankets and we could cover them up, but still the meows were loud. You know that deal with babies and carseats and a moving car? It works on cats too. After a few minutes of the van moving, they settled down.
When I went down to get the box of extra food their foster parent gave me and my purse from the van, Thom let them out of the crates in the center of the apartment, before we had put their area back to sorts. So Charlie ran into his bathroom and Simon hid in my coffee table that has an interior shelf where I store art supplies & stuff. He came out of there during the night. Thom walked into his bathroom and Charlie freaked, jumped into the large bathtub, spun, scabbled, jumped out, tore into his bedroom and under his bed. He later moved into his walk-in closet under his slacks. That is where we finally located Simon too. We made sure a small bowls of dry food and water were near them.
Saturday morning we found that they had discovered the litter trays in the living room had been used.
I was woken up this morning around 1am by someone exploring my bedroom, jumping off of something. Not seen which one yet. But the litter tray is used again. So it appears they are feeling their way around the apartment during the hours we are asleep.
Now if I could just get them to let me feed them their canned food.
Very small steps for now. Not sure how I am going to get Charlie into the small crate I bought for a 10lb cat and get him to the shelter for his Rabies shot and chip, which is free and we are supposed to do it on Thursday this coming week. I think I will be donating to crates to them, and buying larger ones.
And I have found how easy it is to buy on other sites than DAZ3D for real things, and to get them the next day.
And the author I edit for, dropped me a new book-sized chapter of his running series on Thursday morning. So that has me tied up and not working on anything for about 6 - 7 hours a day.
Does the phrase SNAFU come to mind?
Mary
Ah Mary, you are bringing back memories of my father-in-law. You'd love to hear the solution for a cat he took from a guy at work, eventually renamed Psycho- but her name was Spinner and she became my father-in-law's favorite cat! His solution? Plastic bags. She loved to lay on them. So he rubber banned the ends so she couldn't get in them and suffocate, and that's how he lured her out from under the bed! She had been laying on them under the bed so he simply put some out by the side of the bed, and gradually kept taking them further and further out. We took in Spinner, Misty, and Holly when he died, and Spinner was queen of HER bedroom. Maybe find what the cats seem to snuggle in, and make it available by the closet door, gradually moving it out. Anyway, you got them home in bad weather, so that's an accomplishment in itself!
Apparently they like the carpet and dust, as they pick the areas where I can't get the vacuum to. I might have had a bedmate last night, except one of them ran into a bag of business records I had dumped on a box, to clean out my closet. Hadn't found another place for it yet. That is what woke me up, when claws scrabbled on box/bag and the drop to the floor.
Thom bought two stuffed fish, that charge by USB and when let loose on the floor, wiggle like mad. I encouraged him to take them back to his room, as they make a racket. Robot fish. What next?
Good luck with the fish I bought some for my three and when I turned them on and put them in the the floor they looked at them then at me as if to say OK stupid what do you think we're going to do with those and that was that
Yeah, my experience with dogs, cats, and kids, they turn away from the fancy gifts and explore the packing materials or the cupboard with pots and pans or Tupperware.
Tissue paper used to get Jake into a frenzied attack run in our hallway. Absolutely hilarious. And as Novica noted, bags, any and all were not safe.
But there was one silly 'Santa Head' on a string that both Jake and Bugsy would go crazy for and steal from each other. I had to replace the string twice. It is hiding still on one of our bookcases. I couldn't bear to throw it out.
Kitchen takeover
I see 3. I almost overlooked the one right in front, hiding in the shadows.
Yep 3's correct
Trashcan is Ms.Nudge mother of the other two
1st mat is Mr. Whitepaws he's the older of two by about 3 minutes
2nd mat is Ms Nudgly the youngest
I thought about calling the pic password please but I had alredy posted it
That is great. My family had a black and white cat named Rubarb that adopted us, who would pray to 'The Great White God in the Kitchen' every evening, and stole a prime rib roast one time off the counter.
Latest news from our front, Simon is missing the right, front leg, lower joint to paw, and likes to hide by the refrigerator and wall, or under the far side of my bed. And does he run fast. Charlie is still hanging out in Thom's closet or under his bed, but has been seranading us during the night as he explores the living room and my computer set-up. Last night he tried to play the metal tension rods on my desk and found they make a sound when pounced.
We had a major lightning strike just in front of our building yesterday afternoon, took out our security box to open the gates I use. My van is parked just in front of the box, about 10 to 20 feet away. I was on my computer and I felt that hit in my chest. Never shut down the computers so fast. No idea the weather moved in that fast. Cats slept right through it.

Everyone was showing pets. Here is Bullet. Found in the wild and still has a lot in him. I make him come into the house, and he hisses me. I hiss back. I wish Daz could get this kind of realistic color for a cat.
Edited Grammar
Great picture! Black fur is hard to capture sometimes.
