About to go back to sleep on my stomach as I sleep.

Our cat is on my spouse’s lap, receiving the pets she is owed.

She's currently sleeping in one of her kitty beds and doing well.

Mine has shit 5 times today before 3pm. It's about as firm as chocolate frosty that's been sitting out for awhile but at least there is no blood.

He probably ate some trash.

No, she gets hemorraghic gastric enteritis. We know she has a malabsorption issue and she's on B12 supplements to see if they help. She doesn't have atypical Addison's so we're working on diet to manage inflammation. She's a new rescue that spent her 6 years as breeding stock in a puppy mill. So didn't exactly have good diet or care.

She has a much better life now.

I have a dog with atopic dermatitis. It takes a lot to get a handle on, feel you. But he's way happier.

My cat pooped right outside her exclusive litterbox I just cleaned yesterday, and is acting like everything is fine. 😾

Has been broiling here in Appalachia this last week. Brought the dogs in even when they wished to be out. Chickens seem ok. They're under the shade of trees. Some digging out holes in their run to keep cool.

Last week our old girl got snakebit. We'd just spotted a copperhead the week prior -the first venomous snake we'd ever seen anywhere near our place. Relieved she bounced back quickly. Swelling down after a day. Glad to have had some leftover antibiotic that kept the nasty wound at the bite from getting worse.

Poor chickie.

She was sad that visiting family left, then happy to lick our dinner plates, then stressed out by thunder and lightning. She climbed on the couch and curled up tight next to me and actually calmed down! Usually she's a scared panting mess for hours.

Digging to China in his bed so I'll pay attention to him.

Our dog was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, so we're sad. His meds are definitely helping, and he's still excited whenever the plumbers visit.

I love that he has no idea. The veterinarian said he can have as much dog-safe table scraps as he wants.

I love that he loves the plumbers.

My wife and our pupper and I just moved back in with my mom yesterday. Sister's cats are here too. Skye REALLY wants to be friends with them but they're scared of the big fluffy golden cloud 😭 But she's at least happy to have special gramma scritches back on tap, and her favorite cheese dealer.

She has some kind of eye infection. Got her checked by a vet.
