hello everyone. this weekend was too short, even though it was an actual 2 day weekend for us.... Sunday we went down to see our families, and i took Gertrude to visit Tilly (i had a bad feeling about taking Muppy because of her unresponsiveness to Tilly- ie, she hates her)
and they played ALL DAY. Muppy took a walk on the beach with her grandpa in the morning and steve and i hung out with our respective families. Monday we were also down there and i could tell the girls were happy to be out. Steve's brother has a bird that Gertrude is facsinated with, and Muppy is terrified of- or should i say, wary of.... so it was cool to see them interact again- too bad i didn't take any pictures, but we were watching them like hawks so that Gerti wouldn't try to eat Echo (the bird) and Echo wouldn't try to eat Gertie's marble-like eyes. so much love. they weren't mean to each other or anything, just cautious- like in a weird stare-down. Of course when we got home we discovered that we were all out of dry food and didn't feel like going out again, so the girls had only wet food for the first time in their lives, and i think they enjoyed it thoroughly. tonight i got more of the dry stuff (and the kind of stuff we get seems to be ridiculously expensive for some reason because it is natural, good for the coat and skin stuff- nutro all natural), but i let them eat the rest of the can of the wet- hopefully they don't decide to be evil and picky and not eat their dry food. they'll pretty much eat anything though, so i'm not too worried about it. today, unbeknownst to us, the apartment and patio was painted, so i am sure the girls had a scary time with the painters, and the painters had a scary time with them. tomorrow we will make sure to CLOSE the door so they won't be harassed. also tonight Steve's pal Wytt came over to say hi and met Gertrude for the first time. she kept trying to eat him, but we wouldn't let her. here are a couple of silly pictures from the evening.
