Ever wonder what it's like living in a zoo? Buckle up because this is a good example. We went to pick up 7 new foster kittens tonight. Upon our return we let the dogs out into a backyard full of chickens.... Called the dogs back in, had the Katherine run around the run like a chicken herself, and managed to get all but one back in. She gave us a run for our money.
Returned to the house, took the dogs out, went to check each kitten and place in their new condo. Upon closing the gate, turned around, kittens loose having slipped the condo.... A chase, some tiny meows, one scratch later, the condo is secured.
Fast forward to this evening. Rain is opening a new toy... his birthday is Monday! Both dogs, competing to be closer to an electronic (picture below). He assured them 3 times it was not a treat before Rosie walked over to the ottoman, where the Queen, Zoe was resting peacefully. Rosie upturned the ottoman, launching the Queen into the air (her majesty landed gracefully I assure you), which caused Chloe to run across the house. Chloe, too busy rubbernecking the upturning of the Queen's throne runs head on into a door frame, to which Rosie turns, growls, and continues tossing the ottoman.
Meanwhile, Chuck is on the couch quivering with anticipation. Was it anticipation of the whooping Rosie was about to receive from the cats? Or anticipation of the riot she was about to start? No one can be sure, but I can assure you that this giant potato never did leave the couch because in the end no food was found to be involved 😆
