Shirley (the cat) was chirping at the bedroom window as I was getting ready for the day today. I went to the window to see his concern. It was a bald eagle eating a snake in the back yard.

I harvested exactly one pumpkin from my garden this year. Shirley has claimed it for himself as a seasonal toy. At least he's happy.

Sometimes I just want to soak in a relaxing bath alone. The cat wanted to join in. He seemed to enjoy it. He even stayed for a rinsing shower. At least we're clean now.

I planted pumpkin seeds in a planter and transplanted them in my garden this summer. This is how that's going.

I never thought I would be the kind of person who would bake my dog homemade dog biscuits, but here I am. Baking her dog biscuits.
I hope she likes them.
Rolled oats pulverized in a blender, added to pumpkin purée and unsweetened apple sauce. These are mixed together and rolled into dog biscuits. Pumpkin, apple, and oats made into dog biscuits baking in the oven.

My 6 year old girl is actually 12 years old! She has a serious heart murmur and other problems too. But she is sweet, and she's mine. And she will have good days ahead.

Every day with BB keeps getting better! She is very vocal about only one thing -- dog treats! Here she's waiting for me to give her allllll of the dog treats. I just needed a minute to get off of my feet for the day.

I knew bringing a dog into a cat household would take major adjustments. Shirley isn't ready to leave the security of under the bed to come meet BB yet. It's been 10 hours.
BB has never lived inside before. She found a pillow on her own and has made herself more comfortable. Shirley remains skeptical of the whole dog in his house business. He remains sheltered under the bed while BB doesn't care at all. Shirley needs some adjustment time. I did feed him here while he finds his courage.

I picked up BB today for our new life together. Poor girl doesn't yet understand squeaky tennis balls, but she seems to like them. We are warming up to each other.

BB, fresh from a bath, is discovering the best places to rest in the house. She is very sweet, not at all a puppy, and is now experiencing indoors for the first time. We are taking things slowly. BB walked over to her bed where her toys are, chose a hedgehog, and decided to investigate it in her new favorite spot.

This little girl will be coming to live with Shirley and me. She's 6yo, and has lost her elderly owner to a nursing home. Does anyone have any recommended toys for her? #RescueDog
Her name right now is Baby-Baby. She is a sweet girl who lost her owner. She has always lived outside, but she will soon be living inside with the cat and me. I'm excited to have her live with us and can't wait to take her to the park. #doggielove

There's nothing like going on a fact finding mission, trying to be intelligent, all while you're wearing your clothes backwards. I'm a disaster. But I'm earnest.

She tells me that her name is Betty Jean, and she's a cat. I don't believe her and asked for ID. She says it's in her other purse. She drinks here daily.

(I think she's really a raccoon).

My spring garden was a disaster. I hoped to plant pumpkins for fall. That's not going well either.
Pumpkin sprouts overtaking a planter under a crepe myrtle tree (with a water oak trying to grow in it). Dry, dead area in the vegetable garden. The only thing that grew well here this Spring was the waist high weeds. I tried planting the pumpkin sprouts in the garden. It's about eleventy million degrees outside, so no one was happy, especially the sprouts.

I was reminded to freshen the water outside.

Apparently I have accidentally adopted another stripped cat. This one enjoys digging up my pumpkin seeds.
A raccoon standing in front of a water bowl close to a planter with potting soil spilled onto the floor. This planter contained the pumpkin seeds and seedlings I was trying to grow for Halloween. Raccoons are gonna raccoon, I suppose. Well, at least the furry fella enjoyed a refreshing drink.

Shirley continues to lose his hair despite having perfectly normal labs. Our last resort is wearing pajamas. I hope he forgives me.
Black cat, Shirley, upset about wearing pajamas, begs for the car keys to run away from home. He has been over grooming himself with no know underlying conditions. He was doing this even before I began spending 22 hours a day caring for my mom after her stroke. I'm so lost.

The 1st Caturday in a month that we didn't spend the whole time in a hospital room or bedside. Shirley (and i) needed to touch grass.
Black cat, Shirley, sashays across the freshly cut grass in the shade. Shirley is still dealing with hair loss while the family cares for my mom recovering from a fall and stroke. The grass hasn't been cut in a month due to family responsibilities and weather. We could have baled it for hay.

I found my mom having a stroke on Wednesday morning. It was scary and traumatic, but she is a fighter. This is hard.

I told Shirley that we have to see the vet again today. He isn't any better. We do blood work and skin cultures today.

I gave poor Shirley some calming cat treats to help him refrain from obsessively grooming himself bald. I can't believe they worked. He's extremely calm. The calmness should last about 12 hours.
Poor black cat, Shirley, sleepily lying on the top perch of his white cat tree in front of his window. He has been obsessively grooming himself to the point of hair loss. He is under the care of his vet, and we are trying to find out why he is feeling so poorly and why he is displaying this new behavior. It's either the calming cat treats or the uncomfortable collar of shame. Neither are good options, so hopefully we will have answers soon. I don't want to give him any more of these treats.

Shirley has been feeling poorly. I brought him in to see the vet for what looked like an allergic or parasitic related hair loss. Instead, it's an anal gland issue. Poor Shirley!

I was finally able to pick green beans today! It has been raining heavily, and the garden was very muddy.

The weeds in the garden loves the rain over the weekend. I really should get some goats. I would love gardening more if not for weed control.
The side view of the vegetable garden shows some plant growth, but it highlights the healthy weeds. I dropped cantaloupe melon seeds on the corner here. They're growing. Some accidental sunflowers are growing too. The plants I planted on purpose are not growing as well as the accidental plants and the weeds. These are green bean plants with tiny, baby green beans developing. I need to spray for bugs now. There are a few tiny beetles feeding on the plants. I call this the "I don't know" row. It's supposed to be an empty row, but squash popped up with a big sunflower. I don't know what will pop up next. There is a patch of marigold too.

The green beans are blooming! The beans should be ready for mid-May. Squash is beginning to form too! The garden loved the rain. Finally! My work is yielding results!
