Stuff relating to Yoshi.

Destroyed Items

Despite having a walk, Yoshi destroyed some more household items. Like every other time before, we don’t really know why, and it could have been worse.

Every time Yoshi is left alone now, we turn up the couch cushions. This past week Yoshi got up onto the couch, and pawed at out white throw pillows, until he shredded them. There was/is little foam chips all over the couch still. Grrrr.

A few weeks ago we had scrambled eggs for breakfast. We went out, and left the pan on the stove. When we got home he had dragged it off the stove, denting the pan, and putting scrape marks into the teflon. He also left scrape marks on my favorite spatula.

I previously listed his list of destroyed items. Now I am keeping a special page just to list them.

Scared Kick

Some proof of the tormented soul. Below is Yoshi being scared. He is laying on some clothes of mine beside the bed. At this time of night he is usually sound asleep (and snoring) on his bed downstairs next to our couch.

This is our cat Aphro. She likes this time of year because of the furnace. When she hears it kick in in the morning she jumps off the bed and sits on the vent. Evidently she likes it at night too.

Tormented Bangs

Hallowe’en is a fun time for many, but not for Yoshi. He is tormented by the sounds of firecrackers. It scares him a lot and in turn ddrives up batty. Last night he actually push down the baby gate at the top of the stairs (the one we use to make sure he stays downstairs and doesn’t bug us). Yep, pushed it over walked over it and burst into our bedroom.

Poor guy.

Last night I was still hearing bangs at 3:30 am. Meaning Yoshi was still antsy at 3:30 am. Up and down the stairs, prancing around outside our bedroom, coming into the bedroom and walking from one side of the bed to the other, heading downstairs and doing laps of the house. Yeesh.

I am very tired today.

Tuesday night will be bad, and then it should end pretty quickly after that. Tuesday can’t come soon enough.

Committed Energy

The plan for today originally called for me to go mountain biking. I woke up this morning, and still felt under the weather. A couple friends of mine had committed to coming as well, and I didn’t want to disappoint. I called Sean up and started to tell him it was going to be a slow ride, and somehow ended up cancelling on the ride.

It feels like it has been forever since I have been mountain biking, and I really want to get out, but today just was not the day. The weather was perfect, I just lacked any energy and my head was still congested. Not very good for riding.

Instead I took Yoshi for a walk at Macaulay Point Park. It was pretty good, but even walking slowly I worked up a huge sweat. Still not over this cold. Yoshi had a great runaround that left him panting and tired. I got outside for some fresh air. Almost like riding? Not really.

Paws Ourselves

Today was the BC SPCA Paws for a Cause Walkathon. Sox and I have participated in this event a few times now, and have enjoyed every one of them. Today was no exception. We showed up a little late, and missed the start of the walk (see picture below). This year we were not as organized as previous years and did not manage to collect and pledges/donations. Instead we registered and donated more than normal ourselves. We waited for Jen and Todd to arrive, then set off on the walk. Duke and Yoshi got to play for a bit off leash too. Very fun. There were lots of really cute dogs, and like every dog event Sox and I have been to all the dogs were very well behaved.
