Hot time in the city

The warm weather is finally here! The birds and squirrels are out in full force and Lina loves to be outside watching them. She surprised me last night by jumping up on a tree to get a closer look at what might be happening up there. Tucker was not impressed - he just gave her a look to say "ummm, not sure what you're doing 'cause there aren't any cookies up there".

I love this picture because it shows the little spot above Lina's tail that doesn't make its way into shots very often.

On the market!


We found out this week that Miss Praline's adoptive family is no longer going to be able to take her. Well, the kids are perfectly fine with that - they were starting to dread the day that she got the all clear to leave us. Lina went for all her follow up bloodwork today and we'll have all the results soon. Now all we need to do is find the right family for her!
She posed sweetly for her picture - sitting pretty is a new thing for Lina - but was too busy trying to spot all the birds and squirrels she was hearing to look at the camera.

Restless and ready!

Exactly 2 weeks post treatment and Lina is most definitely back to feeling like herself. Yesterday she made us smile by getting atop her perch at the front window. Brett said he'd know she was feeling better when he saw her up there.

She is getting increasingly antsy when we take her out to the bathroom; she pulls towards the park where she is used to walking or to the backyard gate. When she gets to the backyard she is clearly disappointed that her leash is not coming off. It will not be easy to keep her subdued!

After an unfortunate de-stuffing incident we had to replace Rocky Raccoon with Bunny but he can't come out til bedtime or Lina gets too riled up. We want to make sure she stays healthy for her forever mama!!

She does still love her downtime - like late night weekend Xbox lounging with her foster brother.
