I was mid nap when I heard familiar snorts at an unfamiliar level. Sia climbed the ramp steps!! She almost made it all the way up by herself. Don’t worry, I helped her up on the big bed. Best nap of the month!

Look at Sia doing a shake, rattle and NO roll!
This is the first time she has rolled on her back without flopping and flailing.

It’s been about 3 weeks since Wellington joined the HERD. Completely broke the 3-3-3 rule of adjustment. He took one day to decompress. Two weeks to learn our routine. Today he grabbed a ball & a bed announcing that he’s home.

Can you imagine seeing dogs running around with toasters committing petty crimes?
November 20, 2025 at 5:38 PM
The word TOAST can be used to refer to someone who is going to be / is already in trouble for doing something wrong.

barry: RISE AND CRIME my toasters!

Yesterday I tried adding a rug to the living room floor plan. Sia didn’t seem to like it at first, but she did take some steps. Today, Scooch/avoid. I think she has hyper sensitivity in her feet and it may actually hurt her a little bit. I removed that rug and… she struts! #OperationUnstoppable

We said goodbye to Kabota today.
The girl who survived a battle against a tractor. The girl who was a disabled pet ambassador with Phoenix. The girl who came to stay with us when her mom was out of town. The girl who gave us three years. The girl who had a family. The girl who will always be loved.

Batty Kitten Cam!
Notes: Batty has longer runs staying straight but still has rapid circling behavior. Head tilt is nearly gone. Not a doctor believes his eardrums have mended. Since moving him in with the girls he’s developing learned behavior and drinks water by itself! Still prefers Herdmom.

The other day, someone commented that Justin had a shadow leg in the picture. On his amputation side. Can confirm accuracy.

Topic of discussion: rugs
Sia came here incontinent and with sores on her legs & feet. Rugs were removed to prevent burns and wetness.
Curiosity killed the cat lady, so I put some rugs down to see how she would do. She didn’t do at first, but eventually got the hang of it. #OperationUnstoppable
