Saturday

Today's Mission: Free the Stroller and get everyone out to enjoy the beautiful weather .. Mission Accomplished !!!

 

Group One .. the Boys go to Timmy's

 

There was a long line up at Timmy's so I parked the stroller where I could watch it from the line and watched Jinx go into action .. he really loves people, he was so alert and aware if anyone came near he'd come to the front and give them his begging for treats/love look .. he really had one lady enamoured. Jinx also got out on the leash for a bit at the park, but he found that pretty overwhelming at first, he liked being in my coat though and got down a few times for a sniff round. Cash and Loot really enjoyed being in the stroller and seeing the sights.

 

Group Two .. the Girs go out ..

 

Just to the park, where both had a short turn with the leash. Both were nervous, Izzie more so than I thought she would be, sorry now I've fogotten the new girl's name .. Tizzy, no, darn can't remember, ... Trixie !! anyway she was less nervous than I thought she would be (being a newcomer) and she had quite a good sniff round the park.

 

When I was out I left the group inside in the front room (as opposed to the garage room), so when I came back with the girls I let them out in the garage room and went to check on the boys and start the cages. I forgot to put the mat under the gate and Izzy escaped, but I heard the scratching so she didn't get far ... Izzy the breakout artist, doesn't miss an opportunity ... so I brought her in the front room while I cleaned the cages and let Trixie have the garage room to herself, which she loved, the two girls both love to stash toys, I don't know how much they actually interact with each other but they certainly kept themselves busy rearranging the toys whenever they could.

 

Perfect timing today, we really hit the warmest part of the day .. it was great.

 

Cheers all, Sue

 

 

 

 

Monday ..

It was a very pleasant day at the shelter today, just the foursome, all were in fairly good spirits but relatively quiet. Cash and Loot weren't too playful, but ate loads of treats, all four enjoyed lots of soft-moist and teeth crunchers .. nice to see even Loot enjoying treats. Miss Izzie was busy .. she had to keep putting toys in their proper places, especially when I kept moving them to places she felt just weren't correct. Jinx was a total snuggle bug, following me around, begging for more treats, more hugs, more attention. After everyone had been out for nearly three hours Jinx was still pretty perky - Cash and Loot were ready for bed, (they tended to wander off into the shredded paper when I wasn't paying attention to them) so I put them to bed, and Izzie, and took Jinx for a walk. We didn't go very far, he really enjoyed being held inside my coat - with this head sticking out .. he loved it when the wind blew in his face when he was like that. He got fairly relaxed and did get some good snuffling about the grassy area, but he was more drawn to the garbage bins in the alleyway !! He was out for a little over half an hour and I hope he went to sleep dreaming of his big adventure.

 

There was a nasty, very liquid, very light coloured, poop on the floor, and Cash & Loot's litter box contained lots of loose, light poops. Izzie & Jinx's litters looked fine.

 

Also, the wooden gate did not seem to click shut today, I gave them both rooms from the start so only noticed it when I went for a smoke I closed both gates, Jinx can get the barrier to move and he's quite determined when he gets bored to get up the stairs. When I came back the wooden gate was open and Jinx was furiously trying to escape !!
