I wanted to dedicate a post to my pets, however lame that might seem to some. They are a huge part of my life and I love them both dearly. It was both of their Birthdays recently which is why Ive chosen now to introduce them to you all. They do more for me than I ever could for them, so I keep these two very close to my heart. Im done with the soppy talk now (I promise). Keep reading if you want to hear some of the funny/odd things these two get up to on a daily basis.
Zeus
He’s a Ragdoll by breed and clingy dog-cat by nature. What do I mean by that exactly?! Ragdolls are known to be clingy and boy they weren’t joking, this fluff-ball follows me everywhere I go. He often decides that my lap looks like the perfect place to nap when I’m sat on the toilet. He sleeps on the bed with me at night, sometimes he even sleeps in the bed with me. Burrowing under the duvet to sleep by my feet when it gets chilly. He watches me cook and he sometimes braves a peek when I’m grooming dogs.
He turned 2 in October but he still acts like a kitten, chasing his favourite spider toy and going crazy with his catnip beaver. He is the household pest eradicator, he kills any spiders that dare come near him. He likes to groom my head and face and sometimes my hands. Which is really sweet if not a little rough sometimes. He will drink from my bedside drink and if it’s not full enough he will knock it off of the side table annoyed. He will also wake me up in the morning if he thinks I’ve slept too long by wailing loudly and stealing my makeup brushes off of my vanity! The little monster.
He knows when I’m feeling under the weather. He puts up with my endless cuddles and smooches on his head, he even lets me burrow my face in his tummy when I’m really upset. He even tolerates my terrible singing on occasion. So Zeus this is dedicated to you, thanks for putting up with me being a crazy cat lady.
Kai
Also known as Kai Pie (because hes my little puddin pie duh). He is a Sprocker (Springer x Cocker Spaniel) so he is full of beans pretty much 95% of the time. He turned 1 today! He loves life, this little rebel really brightens my days with his silliness and zest for life.
He likes to perch on the arm of my living room chairs to keep and eye on things and to get cuddles. He likes to try and share his toys and blankies with you. Seriously, he will try and put his blanket and toys in your mouth, while wagging his tail frantically excited to be sharing his favourite items with you. Peculiar? Yes. But oh so adorable. He loves chasing his tail, eating raw carrots, jumping in fields of tall grass and learning new tricks.
Long walks on the beach with Kai are not only fun and great exercise for him, but relaxing and head clearing for me too. He’s very clever, it never takes him long to learn a new trick. He knows all of the usual and a few others such as ‘Bang where he plays dead. He’s currently learning to stand on his back paws with his arms up to ‘Beg’.
He’s stubborn, and for a while he had a sock and panty obsession (much to my embarrassment when we had guests over). And some days he decides he won’t listen to a word I say. But I wouldn’t change my puppy dog for the world. My life is better with him in it and his antics and zest for life help me over come some of my own demons.
I hope you enjoyed the little insight to my world while living with these two. What funny/naughty shenanigans do your pets get up to?
