Ida is adamant that the house is haunted because someone pooped in her bed while she was sleeping, and she is certain it wasn't her. After I explained that it definitely wasn't me or Lemon because we were both in a meeting together, she informed me that it must have been a ghost. 👻💩

This weekend was our town's annual parade and festival, which always makes me think of Luda. The morning after he passed, I walked out my garden gate carrying Luda's earthly vessel only to find a street full of people laughing, dancing, and wearing flower costumes. It was not funny at the time. Looking back, though, it's incredibly funny, and every year the festival has become a bittersweet celebration of my boy. ❤️‍🩹🌈

Ida hates parades with a passion, and since she's still on activity restriction, I thought I'd drive the girls out of town for a pup cup and some fresh air. Unfortunately, I misjudged both the timing and the route home, and we accidentally got stuck behind a parade float and all the festival chaos.

Lemon was tickled pink. She is pretty certain this annual event is being held in her honor.👸🏼👋🏼

Ida, however, was OVER IT. 😤

Honestly, Ida is over everything right now, especially her recovery plan. She. Is. Done. And she makes sure everyone knows it. At one point she was screaming, I was crying, and I started wondering if we'd somehow wandered into The Shining. We've got cabin fever bad. Or whatever you call it when you're forced to convince a very active, fiercely independent dog to spend eight weeks pretending she's a baby cow in a box being prepared for veal, and she hates it and you and life, and you are stuck with her in the box, and then a ghost poops in her bed. 🐄

Meanwhile, Lemon absolutely loves that Ida can't bother her. She gets me, the people bed, and all the attention entirely to herself. 🍋

Special thank you to Auntie for making Ida a Sour Lemon 🍋 (and a Strawberry 🍓) ❤️

The girls had a good day! First, Ida got to explore the front lawn for enrichment and we tried a new coffee stand in town. Lemon was SO excited that Ida "snuggled" with her. I didn't have the heart to explain that Ida only does that when she feels a little "off" from drugs 😅 Then the girls "helped" me finish removing packing tape from a bunch of boxes we've been saving this past year to put under some fresh wood chips (mulch) we got dropped off for free from an arborist. Yay for ChipDrop! I thought I could handle how stinky Ida was getting for another 4wks until her cast comes off, but turns out I'm not that strong. Thank goodness for the ol' leg-in-a-bag trick! Lemon was laughing at first... until she realized the garden hose isn't heated like her sink spa. 😭 Now we're settling in to read, and Lemon is keeping Ida and Get Well Bear company in the Ida Recovery Suite. Lemon says it's because she also needs recovery from that "ice bath."

Ida remains deeply offended that she is perpetually on a diet, only gets HALF of what Lemon eats, gains weight simply by existing, and spends every waking moment yearning for snackies. 🍩🍪🥪🌭🍔🍕

To make matters worse, now that she is in jail, Lemon gets to play with HER magical food-dispensing snuffle mats. 😤

Ida would also like it formally noted that if Lemon “doesn’t want to gain weight,” she should be allowed to make that choice for herself and absolutely should not be rewarded for such behavior. Justice for Ida. ✊🏼

Ida would like everyone to know that her escape efforts have been thwarted AGAIN. 😭😂

This tiny outlaw 🦹🏼‍♀️managed to do another Houdini out of her cast (literally with me RIGHT THERE) and, mind you, we are not even THREE weeks into her 8-week jail sentence. All her hard work earned her? Another cast, and this time it's a giraffe leggie! 🦒She believes there is a glitch in the system.

To be fair... there kinda was. We’ve finally identified that while Ida may be very pleased with her successful manipulation tactics, she might also require an advanced tech wizard 🪄

The vet team and I had a good laugh because it’s come to our attention that Ida is perhaps a little too convincing in her campaign of: “If you make this too tight, you might get a little bite.” 👹👻

The consensus has officially been reached that Ida requires veteran-level technicians only. File notes updated accordingly. 📑✍🏼

Anyway, please send tater tots and pears that this latest cast remains attached through the holiday week because Ida is deeply committed to criming. 🥔🍐

Also, early this morning (before the cast crimes) Ida joined us on Lemon's trip to her oncology appointment. Lemone is still growing more lumps and bumps, which is to be expected, but her spirits are high as usual and her bloodwork looks great! We are carrying on as usual with her at-home chemo and supportive medication regimen. 💛

Happy Friday! Ida is at day camp with her favorite camp counselors (aka for her bandage changes and foot check-up). Lemon is enjoying rootin' and rootin' for her breakfast, using the snuffle mats Auntie sent the girls. Sniffing is Lemon's favorite activity! And I'm watching the show while working on the porch, enjoying the cool air and fresh breeze, and the lack of Ida screams for the day. 😅😂🌬️🐽🏕️ How is your day going?

Instead of Hot Girl Summer 🔥, Ida's having a Not Me Spring 🚫 and she rotates from screaming at me and Lemon to pouting depending on the level of her sedation medication. 😩🤣 Thank you, Mother Earth, for providing. 🤣🤣 Amen. 🙏🏼

This was Ida yesterday upon learning she is on 8wks strict bed rest. Mind you, this was before the pain meds even kicked in. 😩🤣 Don't tell her this, but the only thing that is going to keep me sane is how absolutely adorable she is in her cast. It makes a thud on the floor like a pirate when she walks. I literally cannot. 🤣🤣🦜🏴‍☠️

Welp… a LOT has happened in the last 24hrs. 😅

Last Friday while romping at the lake, Ida started limping on her front right leggie. I thought she stepped on something, but by the next day her far right toe bean was super swollen.

We rested all weekend and when she still wasn’t improving Monday, I scheduled a vet visit expecting they’d tell me she had a little sprain.

Instead… this absolute maniac BROKE HER FOOT. 🫠 Miss “throw the ball immediately” earned herself:

• 8wks strict crate rest
• a cast
• weekly bandage changes
• radiographs at 4 & 8wks
• possible toe bean amputation depending on healing

Mind you, before pain meds she was still demanding ball throws and literally RAN across the clinic during her exam. Two seconds into her 8wk jail sentence, she was already screaming at me about it.

Please pray for me and Ida’s toe bean because if you asked Ida, she’d probably amputate it herself to get back to ball faster. 😭

After picking up Ida, I met Auntie Nicole to grab feral porch kitten Pym for today’s TNR appointment, then spent the rest of the night trying to trap one of my remaining free-agent ferals.

Instead, Samantha, who has already visited the Snip & Tip Salon, trapped herself AGAIN. 😂 Meanwhile Brad (also a previous successful TNR), after falling for the trap FOUR TIMES previously, has apparently evolved. He tested the trigger plate, realized it was set, backed out, and then spent the night guarding the trap so nobody else could have the snacks either.

At 3am I almost trapped one of the final colony members, but she triggered it too early and escaped. After waiting SIX MONTHS for this appointment, I finally had to call it at 5am and head to Renton with Pym.

Thankfully Pym had a successful drop-off this morning and will soon return to Auntie Nicole’s pampered feral porch life with heated housing, plentiful food, and vet care when needed. 🖤

Meanwhile, I’m currently enjoying a suspiciously peaceful coffee shop workday while absolutely dreading returning home to the angry casted goblin living in my laundry room. 😅

And Lemon? She has grown a handful of new little lumps. Not a surprise, but girl, not right now, okay? I need y'all to chill.

Ida hurt her little paw yesterday running at the lake, so we had a relaxing day at home and the girls helped me garden. I was able to unearth one of three of my rose bushes that the grass tried to take over. Whew! Grass is a monster! You can see that Hermie and Luda visited too. 🌱🌞🦦🦭🦀😎
