Thank goodness for the mute button. I like to watch morning shows, but sometimes their chatter is beyond annoying. I swear, if Savannah Guthrie says, "Fer shure!" one more time...
Yes, I'm grumpy this morning. It's the heat. I have two fans blowing on Roxy cause I'm not into cooked rabbit. I saw somewhere you can hang a bag of ice from a fan and make a sort of instant a/c. All I can picture is the ice melting and shorting out the fan; burning the house down. (Imagine that conversation with Andy.) I have to admit, sometimes I fantasize about burning the place down (animals saved of course) instead of cleaning it. You know you're a terrible housekeeper when you'd rather burn it than clean it! Maybe I'll work on that today. Relax! I'm talking about the bag of ice thing...
As for the diva bunny, I have already cleaned her condo, given her fresh water, hay, food and treats. I swear, this rabbit eats more than the dogs! Plus, when she gets bored, she just chews on her cage! I calculated the shelf life of a bunny and compared it to the amount of time it would take her to completely destroy the cage (who says you don't use Algebra in the real world?) and I think we're good. She is saving me from having to get rid of a big cage when she croaks from all the wood she's consumed. All that will be left is the wire and the roof! Easy peasy...
Thanks to the grandkids coming by this weekend, Dash is now a fixture in the whole house. Jack has stopped drooling when he sees him and just watches him fly around the house. He then slowly turns his head to look at me and says, "Did you need this?" Rooney has her moments. The good news is, when she fixes her sights on him, her tail is also wagging. Trust me, you want that tail to be wagging.
The rest of the crew take turns chasing him or being scared shitless when he jumps out of nowhere as they walk by. He loves to scare them! I guess from his point of view, how else can he prove his worth? He's just so fast! I swear he's turbo-charged! As I'm writing this, he is terrorizing Eli, playing with his ball-in-a-track thing and jumping back and forth over the gate to "his room" - all at the same time! I know he's a manic little creature, but he does slow down to be cuddled. He spent hours being snuggled by our granddaughter the other day. The Rags never did that - I think because they have so much fur and get hot. I don't know.
On the other hand, Dash was thoroughly entertained by my grandson's car track. It really is turbo-charged and noisy. We were all trying to watch a movie, so I carted the track out to the kitchen where the little guy could race away and we could still hear the movie. The next thing I knew everybody, including Pap, was in the kitchen racing cars! Right in the middle of the action was Dash, trying to keep up with the cars whizzing by. If I could keep him from jumping on the cars, I would set it up and let the thing entertain him all day! I'm sure this is why a lot of cat toys have to do with tracks. Somebody with a little kid noticed cats were fascinated by the same action toys. Genius.
I hate to wish my life away, but I am longing for Winter again. I just can't take this heat and humidity. And it doesn't help when the weather people color the whole state RED as in hell. I have always loved the Fall, but here, it can still be hot. Now, I set my sights on November through February - four months of blessed cool(ish) temperatures. I'm gonna go stick my head in the freezer...
