Honey had enough..

My poor special precious Honey Bunny girl. She is just tuckered out. First a bath and then a practice session with a harness and leash..After a sugar high from all the treats we tried to use to balance the work with the harness, I think she just tuckered herself out. She cuddled up with us on the sofa and went off to dreamland..snoooozing away! Our local town is going to have a pet fair tomorrow and we are going to take Honey. She is normally very gentle and kind and had no problem dealing with other animals or people so we will give it a whirl.
Our Coatikids are always a crowd pleaser and alot of fun to bring out. Looking forward to a fun day tomorrow.

Nobody mentioned this……..

I am proud to say, tomorrow I will be the public ambassador for the Coatikids! CoatiMom and CoatiDaddy are taking me to a pet fair for children and other humans to see me. Before I can go, CoatiDaddy first gave me a bath. I hate baths, but I’m over it and I do smell nice and fresh from the baby shampoo CoatiMom used. Things where all good and I was enjoying some evening snacks. (something new called a fruit roll-up, and it was very tasty) Then he did it, Coatidaddy got this torture device out and proceeded to wrap it around me and I was not happy about that……..P.O.’ed is more like it. Well he made me wear this silly thing and I guess it’s not to bad. I really didn’t like it at first, but I got pretty good and followed CoatiDaddy especially since he tied a rope to the end of this thing and lead me around the house…After all what did he think….. I was a dog or something???….I’ll let you know how tomorrow works out, since this is my first time to do anything like this. After all, I guess these public appearances are my job has the new Matriarch of Coati Cottage….

I have something to say…….

The time has come for me to respectfully decline my term as matriarch of Coati Cottage. In my place please join me in nominating Honey. Honey will be a fine leader. Honey knows how to keep Clyde in line. She is sweet and kind to Lucky and my best friend. Oh she also keeps Bonnie from bossing everybody else around. I know she won’t let Clyde get away with hogging all the eggs, chicken meat and other good stuff out of everybody’s meals like Bonnie does….I also want to say that just because I don’t want to be the boss of everybody does not mean I am not the favorite Coatikid because I am……….
P.S. I am also still the prettiest

Ha Ha Look at MEEEEEEEE!.

Neener Neener Neeners all the other Coatikids are wieners! Yep that’s because CoatiMom likes me best and I am inside all snug as slug on the sofa with CoatiMom……Except for that god awful white puppy…Things are pretty sweet at home. I know I am loved

The Great Treat Hunt

Where oh where did CoatiMom hide the treats????? I know she has them, she has lots of them. Fruit bars, peanuts, marshmallows and all for me. All because I am the favorite (do tell the others, they never believe me)! Heeeeeere…. treatie treats, come to Raven……I searched and searched and all I found was Clyde’s stupid duck..
Do you know where CoatiMom keeps the treats?

Looky what I found

I know CoatiMom left this out for me cuz she likes me best. This chow is da bomb! I may be the new kid on the block but those other coatikids don’t have nothing on me. I had to teach ole Clyde a few manners, give Lucky a personality boost (and something to do besides eat) and bring Raven out of her shy shell and put a lid on bossy Bonnie. CoatiMom loves to reward me, I get special treats just for me and this must be one..Pardon me can someone poor me a dish? My China saucer is on the counter. Oh please use the one with the gold trim on it… it’s my favorite, Thank you.

Coatikids Make the Move to the Coati Cottage

Although we are still working on the inside, the weather is great and it gives our CoatiKids more freedom to move about 24/7. We let them move in for now. We have plans to build an outdoor tree house in the patio area for them to nap in on hot summer nights. The box you see in the picture is the insulated house body. We will mount it on the tree stump and add a balcony with lots of climbing stairs around it.
The plans for the inside are pretty much the same except less wood and more wire shelves converted from a jungle gym of climbing and nesting areas with stuffed pillows and pet sleeping bags.
During the summer we will have a swimming pool for them and of course there will be plenty of toys and treats.

Deconstructed Duck

It is my duty to Deconstruct not only this duck but everything. I must figure out what makes it tick…or should I say quack! I must find out now..and don’t even think about taking it away from me..I can get very miffled and deconstruct you if you try..Now I am busy, back to work…Busy Busy Busy….. A busy Coati is a happy Coati and a bored Coati is another name for a house cat! You can quote me on that..over and out!

Coati Cottage is at 98% done!

We managed to finish the exterior. I absolutely love the color we picked for the inside. If you can’t tell from the picture it is a soft pastel green, not baby puke green, which would be nasty LOL. Kerry brought a nice heavy very attractive cement bench for us to sit inside the pen with our CoatiKids. The floor and outside walls are painted to match our house. I would love to paint a jungle mural on the walls inside and out, but I am not the best artist. We added the automatic water thing Kerry designed and heater inside, a few toys and an insulated clubhouse and inside nesting/sleeping area. We still have much to do to furnish the inside to provide them with lots of activities. More Photographs coming soon……..
