*Croak*
A morning of talking while I caught up with my parents and did their taxes. My dad is doing great and has been cleared to start his rehab to build back his strength. Follow that up with a lovely, slow, yappy lunch with Jax. Combine that with the cold I was fighting, and this is [...]

Surgery report

Sick cat and surgeon update
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. [...]
