We've been very busy the past few days and have had lots of adventures. On Friday morning Mom was going to work and I was going to doggie day care. Mom was on the Deerfoot to Southland off ramp and could see that traffic was slowing down ahead and a couple of cars off to the side of the road. Mom thought there was an accident so she started to slow down. Much to our surprise we saw a dog coming from Southland running into traffic on the Deerfoot. Mom immediately pulled over, grabbed my leash off me and started to run towards where the dog was going. Mom could see some people stopping and opening their doors but the dog kept going. For those of you that aren't from Calgary; the Deerfoot, at this section, is 8 lanes of highway and at 7 am is packed with cars all trying to drive as fast as possible! By the time Mom had made it to where the dog was she had managed to hide under a SUV that was stopped in the middle northbound lane of the Deerfoot. Mom got down on the ground but the poor dog was very, very scared. A nice man had stopped behind the SUV and got out to help. He went to the other side of the SUV so that the dog couldn't escape. Mom crawled under the SUV and got my leash on the dog. Then Mom and the man pulled the scared dog out from under the SUV. The lady that owned the SUV gave the dog and Mom a ride back to our car. The dog was happy to get into our car but was still pretty scared. She had a tag (Mom couldn't read her name) with a phone number, but no one answered. Mom dropped me off at doggie day care and then took the dog to Animal Services. Later she got a call from the owner who was at the Southland dog park when his other dog got attacked and this dog got scared and ran for her life. He was very happy to hear that his dog was safe and went to pick her up. Whew...what a start to the weekend!
Yesterday the kittens made their public debut by going to an adoptathon. Valentine went with them, but Fiona and I stayed home. Mom said the kittens had a great time. They got lots of snuggles and play time with people that came to visit. They were a bit unhappy during the car ride to the adoptathon but that was more because they were in a kennel than because they were in a car. There was not a peep out of any of them, or Valentine, on the way home. Everyone was so tired that they came home, ate and then slept for the rest of the night. I told Mom that I didn't do anything while she was gone but I was so exhausted when she got home that she doesn't believe me!
Here's Kenna and I napping on the couch. The kittens have figured out that the couch is the best place in the house to nap. I didn't let them in on this bit of information because I like having the couch all to myself...well sharing with Mom I mean.
Seamus is usually the first one up on the couch. She looks pretty comfortable lounging on it.
Today Mom and I ran errands. Then we went to visit Sierra and her Mom. I was very happy to see Sierra and Sierra was very happy to see both of us. Sierra and I played 'how many times can we pee on the bush' and then lounged on the deck. It's beautiful out today and it was hot sitting in the sun! Now we're back home and having a lazy afternoon filled with more lounging and napping. Since the weather is nice all the windows are open including the screen door leading to the deck. This gives the kittens their first taste of warm, fresh air.
They seem quite interested in going outside and exploring a whole new world. Mom says they can't go outside. Mostly because they'll all take off in a different direction and she won't be able to keep track of them all.
