The first is Grayce getting used to the rest of the house (mostly) and of AJ and Snickers grooming themselves in the sunlight. For added viewing,  a few photos of other animals, including JoJo and a squirrel, are included. Have at it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pam has been introducing Grayce to the house (outside the laundry room) in a gradual fashion. This first video is of Grayce running around in the kitchen and library. Run time is about 3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w6aPjorZWc0?rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1\" title=\"Cats grooming themselves\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Pam lets Grayce run in the house for a bit but some areas are still blocked off (as Grayce is still not 100% with the idea that pee belongs outside).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent vet visit confirms Grayce is growing; she is now at about 12 pounds in weight versus 8 pounds when she arrived at Heart House. Pam has had to &#8220;let out&#8221; Grayce&#8217;s harness and move up a size in dog coat. Puppyhood does not last all that long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still more on Grayce: She received a bath earlier this week. I&#8217;m not sure she enjoyed it. Nice to have the job sink!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-676x901.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0080-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Getting a bath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-262x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-893x1024.jpg 893w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-768x881.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-1339x1536.jpg 1339w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-1785x2048.jpg 1785w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0082-676x776.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Getting toweled off<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I am including a couple random photos of other critters.

Pam ordered these &#8220;squirrel logs&#8221; from Chewy and we are trying them out. The squirrels seem to go for them.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-844x1024.jpg 844w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-768x931.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-1266x1536.jpg 1266w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-1689x2048.jpg 1689w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0084-676x820.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;grid lines&#8221; in the above photo are there as I took this picture through the kitchen window, and the grid lines are the window screen. I did not have time to go out the back door and shoot from the porch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving back indoors, the other morning I was enjoying my cup of morning tea and noticed AJ sitting on top of the cat post, in the sun, grooming herself. Here is a clip of that activity, and Snickers gets into it near the end. Run time is about 4 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4B7i6LMAI30?rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1\" title=\"Cats grooming themselves\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, we are enjoying a mild stretch of weather with some nights not getting below freezing. Much of our snow has melted and there is a chance of rain in the 10-day forecast. Is spring really arriving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should mention our good friend, Henry Tourtillott, celebrated his 98th birthday this past Tuesday. Hank is moving slowly these days, but reports he is learning chess (against a computer) to &#8220;help keep my mind sharp.&#8221; Here is hoping for 100!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple other milestones worth mentioning: My first blog post was in February of 2011, so I am entering my 15th year as a blogger. Also, my e-mail address is now 37 years old as I opened it while working for Sears Business Systems in Beaverton, Oregon, in 1988. (I think. Could have been earlier than that.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A kiddo update: Felicity and Peter finally moved into their renovated Lodi home late last week. Now comes the fun part&#8230;unpacking, arranging, and making the house into a home. (By the way, the nearest city with any name recognition is Watkins Glen, home to a well-known road-race course.) In the winter, when the leaves are off the trees, Felicity and Peter can just see Seneca Lake from their property.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LodiMap.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LodiMap.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LodiMap.png 370w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LodiMap-255x300.png 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now.

It appears Grayce is having a low energy\/diarrhea reaction to the first rabies series injection.  Today that poor puppy is draggin&#8217; &#8212; much like me for 36 hours after the Covid booster each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Trails.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Schulz-Dog-House.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"261\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Schulz-Dog-House-261x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Schulz-Dog-House-261x300.jpg 261w, https:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Schulz-Dog-House.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foremost this time are a couple videos.
