BT updates

She's been gradually speeding up her nomming of fud, and acting less picky about the flavors. As a result, she gets to spend more time with her sister again, not that they seem to care about it. Every time they first see each other, they almost literally pass each other by, to get to the other room. (Oh, hai..must see other room!) She's also been eating her dry food, labeled OM for zenlike goodness. I'll repeat her Depo-Medrol dose next weekend, and then we'll see about tapering her off. She also seems to be putting back on some of the weight she lost, from what I can feel just along the spine.

She spends enough time at the top of the stairs that she is getting the interest of Kedgie and Brady; they sniff more along the door, particularly in the mornings. As long as nobody starts any fights under the door, we'll all be fine.

It has become incredibly hot and generally awful outside, so the dogs get short walks early in the AM, and that's it. Of course, Brady loves to spend the day in the sun room, soaking up the rays. Kedgie likes to sit out there in the morning, watching the birds and squirrels run around, but then she shifts to cooler spaces as the day goes on.

The dogs are finally settled at night, now that the Son is home from all his camping. He has no camps now, so we decided to experiment with leaving him at home. He has several tasks to complete before he can spend hours on the Wii, and we shall see how well he does. Cleaning his room is all-important, and hopefully he will begin to keep it clean longer.

Coffee yogurt from Dannon is a half-way decent breakfast. In case anyone was wondering.

"Oh, hai--must see other room!" *snerk*

S'More is more like "Oh, hai---skooz me, must spring hai in da air and run fastfastfast down to hoomins' room for no reezin!"

...when she isn't trying to kill me, of course. ;-)

Sure, your cat has plenty on her schedule, but she's young and full of optimism. BT and Cinder are past 16, have been together all their lives, and this is the most they've separated -- but all they want to know is " did my sister leave any fud in her bowl?" Puny humans are beneath notice. Except when delivering fud, of course.

S'More's about 12, fwiw. The boys have had her since kindergarten.

Her latest thing is to wait until I am in bed with my crossword, then either plop herself smack onto it, or rub the corners of her mouth, around the whiskers, with the end of my pencil.

Four other people in this family, and she decides she wants to hang with me. Strange beast.

Only 12? Still a youngster! ;-)

Ah, the old "plop on the paper" trick! Combined with the "playing with the writing implement" trick! Great fun.

What I used to do was use my cat as a textbook page holder (prop book against knees, allow cat onto lap, turn page, read over sleeping cat) and since I'm ambidextrous, I'd hold two pencils. One for the cat, one for the writing with. ;-)

She knows who is the best person in the family, no doubt about it.

Spirit starts yelling at me the instant I open my eyes. And generally, it's at least 30 minutes before I leave the bedroom and feed them, so that's a lot of yelling.

Ah, yes. When one has volume control, their yelling becomes unnoticeable. ;-)
