Macrocentra said: Got a call from the vet. Hasn't even been 24 hours, but apparently Ripley's urine culture is growing out of control.

So... off I go to pick up the antibiotics.

Oh, poor little Ripley. Hope the antibiotics take a hold quickly. Do they give pain medication too?

Yeah, she has a pain med, anti-inflammatory and the antibiotic.

Tom, I'm excited to see the new foal - hoping all goes well!

She's back to eating normally today, so guess it wasn't ready yet.

Outside looking in...waiting for their cat butler to serve their breakfast this morning

Maybe it's just as well they aren't indoor cats; they'd be jumping on your face at 5 am making their demands known.

Ah, so far our indoor cats always have easy access to their food downstairs..they wait patiently for me to wake up 🥰 and if hubby wakes up earlier than me, with weather permitting, he opens up the windows so the furry babies can wait by the window ledge, savor the fresh air quietly as well till Mommy butler comes around for their new batch of food.

So I have had Shadow the outdoor cat here for many years. A smallish solid grey cat. But many weeks ago another cat showed up. A solid black one. Seems he s a full time resident now.

This morning as usual I put out the food for Shadow and Shadow eats. Black cat sits by. As soon as Shadow finishes black cat goes and eats. So I now feed two cats.

Black one is friendly to Shadow, He follows Shadow around the yard. And sleeps and hangs out in my back yard.

Meantime there is another solid black cat looks the same but this one limps some. Not friendly to the two resident cats here. I know when that one is here as there is usually a cat yowling and spitting contest. Fortunatly that one is not here all the time.

He is noisey. Goes around making yowling noises. Other cats are quiet.

Happy Mother's Day.
Thought I would give a little update on Mopps. Still very picky about what he will eat that day , but is back to having enough food. The leg will never get better but he is walking around more and less sleeping so I would think it is less painful.

That's good news, Bob - hang in there!

Gotta take it one day at a time, Bob, and be thankful he's doing the best that he can.

Yes we are the Service Folks to the animals.

It sounds like Shadow and new black now are good buddies.

Go Mopps

Mopps

So happy Mopps is doing better!!

me too!

Ginger, how are you doing?

Well he made me pay a price for saying he was being better. Started barking around midnight and kept it going till almost 3am. Any time I turned the light off or he could not see me bark bark bark and boy can this little guy hurt your ears. So could really use some sleep tonight.

Ginger how is the recover going ? I hope well.

Recovery is going OK I guess. The groin incisions aren't healing as quickly as the surgeon would like so he's sending me to a wound care doctor...see both tomorrow so will know more after. Thanks for asking. I am so ready to be totally back to normal whatever that is lol

Let the healing take whatever time it takes to be fully recovered. No overdoing!! (Often my downfall once I'm a lilttle bit better.) Lots of cuddles with Baily. Hugs, katie

Thanks Katie...yes Bailey is my nurse dog although missing a more interactive Momma.
