Easy Sunday

I love getting my easy on. I have my heating pad under the wooly pad. It's wonderful. 

Do you like my shamrock?

Saturday Stuff

I went to the doctor again yesterday. I go every Friday because they have to check my cast and re-do the bandage.

I'm waiting for the doctor to come in. Sorry about the worse-than-usual picture quality.

I've been having a lot of litterbox problems. I'll go in the box over and over again and cry. I do this all throughout the day and night. It turns out I'm full of it...poop, that is. They asked Mama to leave me there for a few hours because they needed to do lots of things to me. I had to have (gasp) an enema. I also have another urinary tract infection. I now have more pills than you can shake a paw at. I have my regular hyper-t and blood pressure pills and now have antibiotics, poop pills and pain medication. It's not easy being an older lady.

Today, it's been six weeks exactly since I got the cast. They took an x-ray of my paw and it's still not completely healed. Mama wants to celebrate when the cast comes off. I'm hoping for a cast removal party with turkey, ham and marshmallows.

Happy weekend!

Happy 2013!

Happy New Year!

We had a quiet evening last night. Mama was in bed way before midnight and so was I. Today we're watching the Rose Parade (an annual parade in Southern California that has been going on for over 100 years) and movies. Also, Mama is making a lasagna. Thankfully, there is a stockpile of Fancy Feast and Temptations.

2012 was a blessed year and we're thankful to be going into 2013.

 
We're also thankful for you, our friends.
XXXOOO,

A Perfect Day

We had a wonderful Christmas.  It snowed in north Texas!  Simba enjoyed watching the snow fall.

Annie dressed up for the snow. No, we couldn't even pretend. Annie has never seen snow before and she, true to form, was scared of it. Mama tried to reassure her but she spent a good part of Christmas in her office.

I stayed in my bed all day with my heating pad on.

Mama cooked all day and all four of us (Papa too) loved her turkey!  We (just the kitties) also had a lot of fun with some silvervine powder that our dearest friends at The Furries of Whisppy sent us.  We also received some treats from Jim and Chestnut, our two sweet French kitty friends from Nice, France. We get to try them today. I can't wait! Merci beaucoup, mes amis!

I'm doing well. Hopefully, I'll get my cast off soon. I took it off myself a couple weeks ago. I stayed up all night working at it and Mama woke up in the morning to see my cast in the corner of the bedroom. Unfortunately, I was in a lot of pain and couldn't walk at all so I had to go back and get a new one. I've been having tummy problems (poop, not pee), but I'm on some new medicine and, paws crossed, that seems to be clearing up.

I'm looking foward to making the rounds and visiting you, my friends.

 

Merry Christmas!

We wish you a wonderful Christmas! Mama will cook a turkey dinner that we all will enjoy.

I'm outta here!

 

Double Trouble

Double-Decker of Orange (Simba and Annie):

I woke Simba up to get this picture. That's why he looks a little out of it.

Lucy is continuing to do well. She goes back to see her doctor on Friday. She is still having litter box problems where she goes frequently and just small amounts. Sometimes there isn't anything at all. Other times she hangs out right next to the box or even curls up inside. If anyone has any thoughts on that, I'd appreciate it. It could be that she has some kind of contusions or bruising on her bladder that still need to heal.

Happy Thursday!

Lucy Update

With Mama

Guess what? I'm feeling better. Every day I get a little better. Mama has been bringing my food and water to me but I'm now getting up a little more to get it myself. I've been through a lot and the impact from the fall may have affected my bladder, but that still remains to be seen. I go to the litter box a lot but each time only a little comes out although it takes a long time.

Today we had to go back to the vet to have my cast checked. Plus, I got it all icky from my litter box so they changed the outer bandages and two of the nurses signed it. The cast is very heavy so walking around tires me out. It also makes me a little clumsy. 

New cast

  I like to keep it clean.

This is my doctor, Doctor Hartland. Mama and I call her our hero but she called me her hero!

She is sweet and caring. We are so thankful for her and her staff.

This is one of my nurses, Lana.

Well, I just wanted to share our good news. We appreciate all your nice comments you left us.

Annie wants to say goodbye. She was peeking out of her "office" when we came home from the vet.
