Doggett's Kitty Blog: Sandy

Sunday, July 29 - Tuesday, July 31 - Mom and I went to Galveston for a couple of days. You can check out Sandy's adventures on the post: "What happens when mommy is away..."

I did take this video when I got home. This is of her playing with her toys. She is a lot like Angel in that she loves to play with crumpled up paper.

When I got home, I gave her some food. I thought that her ankle weaving and whining was because she was hungry (Jeff was working late), but I guess she really did miss her mommy. When I went upstairs to take my bag and check on the other kitties, she let out a yelp that was like nothing I had heard from her before. My sweet baby girl. She grew some, but not too much.

Apparently, I have too many pictures of her sleeping, so here are a few of her playing:

And sleeping again...

Wednesday, August 1 - I had a small cancerous spot removed from my forehead, so I did not take as many pictures of Sandy. She was quite sweet though. The bandage was really bothering her. She licked my face a few times and kept licking the bandage. She knew something was different. I slept on the couch so that I could keep my head propped up and be close to the ice if I needed it. At 3:45 AM, I woke up. I then, of course, had to go to the bathroom. Problem. Sandy is in the only downstairs bathroom and Luke was in. Solution - put Luke in the garage and let Sandy out. She is no dummy. She just got out and was not going back in. I was wide awake, so we watched a movie together. She was still not sure about the bandage, so she licked it some more. The movie was over, so I put her up and let Luke back in and went back to sleep.

Thursday, August 2 - Bear us quite upset that I did not come upstairs to bed. He came downstairs. The big cats are still not supposed to be around Sandy until she gets tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS. I put Sandy up so that Bear could come down. Bear sat in my lap for about 2 hours - a record for him.

Luke is with Sandy for the first time off leash. I got a few pictures and some video.

Luke's Blue Healer comes out in this video. He wants to herd Sandy.

Sandy gets in the Recycling basket - one of her favorite places and "toys". Luke is still playing with her.

A few pictures...

Jeff tries to help Sandy out.

Friday, August 3 - What did we learn today - we learned how to get up on the Kitchen counter. This is one place that I really don't want her. I had to move her spring board away from the counter. The kitchen table chairs were a little to close, so I moved the entire table over.
