Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
We celebrated with my parents and both boys yesterday. Today I am in pre-surgery prep mode so I was happy to have the day free to clean the house, do laundry, select recipes for the week and get groceries. One fun item - I am boiling local lobster tails tonight as a treat. They were... Continue Reading →
Amber in fancy new carrier that SP gave us.Amber and Chip looking innocent and regal in the afternoon sunlight.Yeah, that never lasts too long!Second mammogram was completed two weeks ago. Films to surgeon and consultation done. Surgical biopsy to clear out any remaining cells on the 14th. Hopefully and end coming soon to these challenges.... Continue Reading →
Chip is fixed. He is wearing the Cone of Death (as my friend Jax calls it when her dog Bailey is saddled with one!) to prevent him from licking "down there". Otherwise he is fine. I had him quarantined from Amber over night last night since she just could NOT stay away from him. He... Continue Reading →
Baseball and kitties 🙂 Since DS2 is suffering withdrawals from his electronic devices, I was relieved that we won tickets to Saturday night's game while attending a pre-game event on Friday night! Opening Night Friday was our 4th straight at Petco Park. First one against the Rockies and the first one the Padres lost :(... Continue Reading →
He passed all his lab tests with fling colors. Yay! Now he wont have to have labs done before his fixing on the 10th 🙂 I already checked and that entire procedure with follow up pain meds should only be $150. The vet is guessing that Chip had a puncture wound that became inflamed internally... Continue Reading →
Ugh! Only slept 3 hours last night. Chip the pootie fell ill this week. I noticed he was low energy on Wednesday night, but he was eating and drinking and all those other good things and not sneezing or anything. Last night around 11:00pm though the boyfriend called me into see a very limp pootie.... Continue Reading →
Here is a kittie collage. I tell ya, these two cats could not be more different. Physically of course they are opposites as can be seen. Temperaments too. Amber is so high energy and intelligent and curious and playful and not scared of anything. She is also very happy being handled. Loves to sit on... Continue Reading →
Finally! I managed two pretty good nights of uninterrupted sleep in a row! So things are more peaceful. Oh, plus the cats are actually tolerating each other now. Here they are facing each other and there is no hissing or growling! Now they just rather playfully chase each other. Amber is mostly the instigator and... Continue Reading →
Those pictures are perfect examples of just how adorable she can be, and also how annoying! The disciplining of both Amber and her male playmates began last night. SP has decided that getting a cat was a good idea after initially grumbling about it (he wants a bulldog). DS1 and 2 of course were ecstatic... Continue Reading →
The best picture we could take all night 🙂 She is very curious and wiggly and oh my gosh does she PURRRRR!!! Her original name at the Helen Woodward Animal Center was Shoes. I have re-named her Amber because of the color of her eyes. Yes, I was looking for a short haired male tabby... Continue Reading →
