Dogs, cats, and guinea pigs

It's been forever since I last updated this blog! I definitely have missed being on here- I have just been busy with other things. Anyhow, I can now upload pictures from my cell phone onto my laptop which I am very happy about since unlike a camera, I always have my phone with me so I can take cute pictures of Muffin and my other babies at any opportune moment and quickly upload them onto my laptop to share them with the virtual world. :)

Another reminder of how long it has been since I was last on here is the fact that when I typed my last post I hadn't yet adopted or even met my Hairless Chinese Crested, Sookie! We adopted her in January of last year when she was eight months old (She will turn two years old this coming May). In addition, last October we took in a black stray cat we named Baby when Superstorm Sandy hit, so we have acquired a few new additions. :)

Below is a picture of Muffin I took today while she was on my bed, along with one of Sookie lying down with my cat, Stray.

Guinea Pigs Pee A LOT.

I now feel comfortable putting Muffin on the bed with Stray and even with Miracle on the bed at the same time now.. I think she now knows that Muffin is also a pet, not a toy. Still, I supervise them closely when they're on the bed together. But there is NO way I could teach Cedric to ignore the Guinea Pig if he was on the bed with her. That cat is WHACKED.

However, I can only allow Muffin to stay within the parameters of the baby blanket that is specifically placed on the bed for her to crawl on, along with the bunch of towels placed under it, as if she pees it DOES leak through to the sheets on my bed.. even if she is on the blanket with a towel beneath it. But she often drinks over half a bottle of water a day, so I suppose it all has to go somewhere..

Anyhow, I also wanted to mention something else on here that is off-topic, but since I am an advocate for animal rights I felt it was important. If you haven't already heard, Congress is going to legalize the slaughtering of horses in the US. If you are also against the slaughtering of these beautiful creatures, you can sign the petition to ban horse slaughtering here. As of currently, a little over 13,100 signatures are still needed, and the deadline to sign is December 20- so don't wait to sign!

Muffin & her 'stuffed buddies' and chocolate chip cookies!

Last night, Muffin was unusually cuddly. I placed her on my chest, and she actually laid there for about 20 minutes or so, falling asleep on me every now and then. Well, she did end up pooping on me (I never learn), so obviously I threw my shirt in the wash and took a shower right afterward.

Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of her laying on me, but I decided to post this photo I took of her in between a bunch of stuffed animals that I took about a week ago. This is definitely my favorite photo of her. :-)

Where's Muffin?

I also baked a bunch of chocolate chip cookies for Thanksgiving today. They are based off the Original Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe- in my opinion, it makes the best chocolate chip cookies! You can get the recipe off of the back of the packet of Toll House chocolate chips.

I even took a photo of them:

I can't eat too many, as we are saving them to bring to my relatives' house tomorrow, but they are very difficult to resist!
