I had to give you an update on Pixie. As of Sunday the 5th, she weighed 3 lbs. 9 oz. She is truly a therapy cat as far as I'm concerned....LOL! She keeps me laughing all day. Right now as I'm typing, she's right in front of the computer screen watching the cursor move as I type and is swatting the screen....LOL! It has become a true 3 ring circus around here. The Shrine Circus ain't got nothin' compared to this little one....LOL! Pixie is not only a therapist for me, she's also become a very accomplished acupuncturist for my dogs....LOL!! Dusty, my old man (10 year old sheltie with health problems) has never been so alert, bright-eyed, and excited in a long time. What's so darn funny is that he'll be chasing her as fast as he can move and she'll disappear behind the couch. He'll still be looking for her on the side she disappeared from and she'll already be out, around the other side, and giving him a quick acupuncture treatment on the backside before he even has a chance to turn around and see if she's sneaked up on him again.....LOL! She teases him standing on the couch because he can't reach her. She scoots back enough where he can't get his mouth on her, but she's still close enough to smack him on the nose and be out of his reach again. She's naughty! My female sheltie is the biggest wimp on the planet. She's also 10 years old, but is as active and agile as my 3 year old sheltie. She's so wimpy that if you even try to step OVER her when she's in the middle of the floor, she's squealing like you stabbed her because she's afraid of being stepped on. When Pixie sneaks up on her and swats her on the backside you'd think someone just tried to kill her.......LOL! As long as Rainey can see her....all is well and she's trying to play with her, chase her, and most importantly, pin her down somehow and lick the spots off of her....LOL! She just doesn't like being snuck up on. Lucky on the other hand, will bow down on his front paws with his tail up in the air wagging trying to get her to play. I play fetch with the dogs with a ball, squeaky toy, or a tug rope at night and Pixie has to get into the game. She either ambushes them when they're bringing the toy back, or she charges after the dogs and wraps around the rope biting the fluffy ends and bunny kicking the rope with all she's got! What's funny is when Lucky gets tired of waiting for her to go away and he picks up the rope with her still wrapped around it and drags her and the rope back to me so I can throw it again......LOL! She's a little monster! She's also got the loudest voice I swear I've ever heard. When it's food time in the mornings and evenings, you'd think the neighbors down the street can hear her meowing demanding that I hurry up with the service. Another truly hysterical thing I forgot about with cats is what I call the "Eject Button" reflex. LOL. She jumped up onto my daughters bed and she spotted this butterfly on her quilt that for some reason or another, she thought was going to kill her or something....LOL! Well, you know how they carefully come up to it with one paw up in the air just so they can try and kill it with one smack.......LOL........well, when she was within about 6 inches of the butterfly, my daughter moved her foot, which in turn moved the butterfly on the quilt and Pixie's "Eject Button" reflex kicked in.....LOL! She shot straight up and backwards off the bed without even bending a leg!!!! How the heck do they do that?! One second they're on the middle of the bed, the next she's on the floor looking around for the evil being that scared her!! I was laughing so hard I was crying and my sides hurt. I need one of those reflexes....LOL!! What made it even more hysterical was that she came back for another round! I'm laughing all over again right now! Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update on Pixie and fill you in on the funny stories that I have going on over here. When I have new pictures I'll share them on yahoo. Have a good weekend!
