What do our pets do at night?

Bo sleeps between my and dh's pillows. Curled in a ball but has to have head upside down. He sleeps there most of the night. Then Aki will sleep stretched out at the bottom of the bed. Don't move your feet she might bite you! Willow sleeps in the office on her favorite chair.
Aki in the middle of the night though thinks it is play time and will bring her feather toy with the bell on it up the stairs. Ding ding ding up the stairs. Then she let's go and watchs it fall down the stairs. Sigh! In the morning Aki will sit next to my head and yawn constantly and loudly to get me to wake up!

I don't have dogs. I love them but traveling for a living makes it hard to have them. Cats are a lot easier to take care of if you are a traveler. But I have a camping dog story from just last week.
We were camping with a bunch of friends. Our one friend brought thier Chihuahua Timmy. He is not a normal looking chihuahua. He doesn't having buldging eye's. and he kinda has longer hair themn normal.He's a sweety. he like to hang out in my driveway with my cat aki (who is bigger then him).
So we are all sitting around the fire enjoying ourselves, when my girlfriend who was walking to her trailor yells out she see's a critter in the dark! Timmy starts barking and runs over. Then my friend yells "It's a skunk"! "AHH timmy's been sprayed!" She grabs him to get him away from the skunk. Whew what a smell! Poor Timmy is shaking and confused! They took him over to the camp water spigot and gave him a cold bath. Poor little guy was done for the rest of the night. We passed him around in a blanket around the fire till he got warm. But he didn't want to move at all the rest of the night. We figured he just barely got hit. Reason being they washed him with just dish soap and it seemed to help the smell. Tomatoe juice does not work by the way.

Grrrrrrr....

Well, I came downstairs this morning, and I found out what MY 2 rabbits were doing last night. They were fighting!! Clumps of Tasha's fur were EVERYwhere, and Tasha was cowering in the litterbox in the cage and wouldn't come out - even for banana. Noah - who weighs twice what Tasha weighs and who has an adrenal disease that causes sky-high hormone levels - just got a Lupron shot on Wednesday, but it hasn't "kicked in" yet. It takes about 7 days for the hormone levels to come back down...and I guess I timed the vet's visit a little too late. He was grunting and buzzing - like a crazed hormonal un-neutered rabbit - and running circles around my feet. I took Tasha out and brought her to the stairs and tried to get her to calm down. She was soooo stressed and was grinding her teeth like crazy.
Poor baby!! I had to separate them today - Tasha's locked in the cage...I hope she eats and drinks. I hate having to separate them.

Oh, no! Can rabbits do damage to each other when they fight (other than scaring the crap out of Tasha)? Do they leave bite wounds?

Ruby went to the dentist again today (she had a dental in January, before I got her). At this point, she has lost over half her teeth .

Boy, don't I feel her pain!

Buns can indeed do damage to each other. Bites can be fairly bad. Fortunately, Noah wasn't so much interested in biting Tasha and ... well, getting a good grip on her! I felt her up and down, and I couldn't find any external damage. She hadn't touched her salad all day, but was eager to get out of the cage when we came home this evening. Funny, tho', she turned around and started eating the old salad once she saw Noah dive into it! All of a sudden, it started to look good! Right now, they're snuggling together. Fortunately, no hard feelings between the two. A life lesson there....a nice kiss on the forehead and some snuggle time is good for making up!
