It's Caturday!

AJ is feeling good. She's getting used to her missing front claws. She's been spending quite a bit of time watching the birds and squirrels outside.
And she's finally sleeping with L all night!! She doesn't bug L which helps them both sleep all night.


And she's up her usual shenanigans

Sunday, I slept in.  The dogs wanted out at 0630 so I let them and and AJ the option to come in.  And she did-she jumped up on the bed and slept with us for two hours! Good thing the weather was nice.  The rest of the day has been devoted to reading, chilling and prepping for the week.

It's Quiet Around Here

AJ got her front claws out on Wednesday. She spent two days at the vet and has been home for a day. She's been quiet-sleeping a lot, short bursts of energy. She doesn't seem to have pain although she gets round the clock meds. Hopefully she will be back to her norm soon.

Happy Caturday!!

AJ is back!! Ha, she's never left...her mama was just busy and lazy.  Her she is up to her old shenanigans...climbing up the screen door.  She gets into so much trouble!

Every time I call her she is running down stairs to see me.  She is so sweet and loving.





Back to the deck door.  Every morning, she waits for me to open the door so she can watch everything.  Monday it was sprinkling and she was mesmerized.  She was so quiet it was unbelievable. But the next day, she was back to normal and getting into trouble climbing the door.
This is the "hunting" face.  We play this game every night.  She thinks it's the best thing ever!



"aww mama, do you really have to take my picture so much?"

What's Up Wednesday

I often forget in the busyness of life to post on Wednesday. So here's a glimpse of my day:
It started off with Shocker Fitness and extreme. Great workout!


On my way out the door, I grab my hydration station.


And AJ tells me she loves me and bye. I'm sure she will keep the dogs in line while I'm gone.


Grocery shopping day!


I buy all these groceries and yes, we get take out on Wednesday nights. Today it was Panera. Delicious salad!


That's my day!
