Sunday Chores

The weekend is quickly coming to a close - boo!  Today was full of critter and other kinds of chores.  We managed to fit in some carpet shampooing - stains courtesy of "Sir Pukes A Lot" aka Oliver.  That boy bathes himself, Phoebe, Zoey and the ferrets and as a result is the king of hairballs.

We did litter box cleanouts, water station cleanouts, feeder refills, Nigel laundry, walked the dog even though it was really cold for here - ick.  I am happy to report that everyone seems quite content today - happy and healthy.

The downstairs heater is out - hopefully repairs happening soon - part to be ordered tomorrow....but that results in bed sharing.  Critters play downstairs and think its cold so they come upstairs and hang with us in the bed.  It's all good til Theo or Clooney nibble on a toe.  Theo's allergies seem to have subsided and he was helping with all kinds of things today.  Violet and Finn have been spending lots of time snoozing together. Madison has taken up residence with Nigel in the closet.  Clooney seems happy and is quite snoozy today.

Now its the sounds of the transition to bedtime here - Finn and Theo are wrestling in the hallway.  Violet and Nigel are munching on some food, all four kitties are giving themselves baths - how dirty could they possibly be - all they did was sleep all day....Maddie is sleeping in the dresser drawer and Clooney is snuggled up in his bed under his quilt.
