Our Week!

Can't believe it took me until the 5th day of this month to make a post.  What can I say?  I get a little busy from time to time....or all the time!  I'm always extra busy on weeks that Brad is off on Friday.  Why? Because I try to get as much stuff done so I can somewhat take Friday off with him.  Tomorrow is a bit busy though, since I have an appointment to go to.  So Brad will get the afternoon to himself. So nice to have him home for 3 days in a row! Sweet!

Last night we went to see the new Xmen movie.  It was awesome! Great storyline.  Nice effects without being too over the top. Good actors and actresses.  I never remember Ellen Page being in an Xmen movie before, but Brad says she has been.  It was nice to see her in a role.  My only surprise regarding the movie, has nothing to do with the movie, it's the fact that it wasn't featured in the Imax.  Yes, I'm spoiled to Imax movies.  It was in 3D but never went to Imax here. Odd!

I took Piper to her 10 day check-up a few days ago.  Her paws have healed nicely.  She seems back to normal.  She was quite feisty even in the immediate days after but now she's fully back to her usual self.  Much like when Cody had surgery once...I knew Piper was fully back when she started playing, using her paws to play.  Cats use there paws a lot more than dogs do when they play, they love to bat at things. Piper puts her two front paws together in an attempt to pick something up, which is fun to watch.

I have to tell of this little moment I witnessed recently.  It was literally one of the cutest moments I've ever seen occur between pets, it just so happens it was between our pets/"kids".  I went into the pet sleeping quarters of our home to get all of them up for the day.  As soon as I walked in Cody immediately rose and Piper bounced towards me. Simon on the other hand gets up slowly.  He used to be our little rooster but thank goodness we finally got the point across that his rooster ways needed to go bye-bye. The weirdest part of him barking so early in the mornings in his effort to imitated a rooster was that he didn't get up out of bed. He just wanted to get everyone else up. He doesn't actually rise up out of bed until he knows I've done all the pet chores and am ready to feed him otherwise he's doing his best to get in a little more shut-eye.  Anyway back to my story after that brief detour.  Simon is laying in his bed. Cody is stretching as he greets me with his happy-go-lucky little face, and Piper is bouncing in my direction.  As I begin to take care of things in the pet zone I turn around to spot Piper stroking her head up against Simon's head. She nuzzled him! A few times in a row she nuzzled him, he tolerated it completely.  It was adorable!  How often does one see a kitty nuzzling a pug?  Wish I could have gotten it on video.  I'm sure it will happen again though.  She refuses to give up on Simon.  He will love her eventually!  She will see to it!  She doing her best to break through his hard shell.  LOL!!!
