I’m a horrible person

I’m a horrible person

Lewis had been acting odd the last few days, so I took him to the vet today. Turns out, he has two bad puncture wounds from another cat in his neck. Now he’s wearing a neck cone, and I have to give him antibiotics and pain meds the next 10 days. So, this marks the end of our attempt to make them outside cats. :-( I feel horrible, forcing them outside when they obviously don’t want to be there. The…

Thanksgiving food drive

Our church is doing a Thanksgiving food drive for families in the area, and we are asked to collect in a paper bag enough nonperishable food for a traditional Thanksgiving meal for one family.

cirque du soleil will need to wait

Today was Savannah’s physical therapy evaluation. Here is what the therapist said: * Savannah hates pressure and sensations on her feet. I always thought Savannah was just ticklish, but now I realize that she isn’t laughing when she pulls her feet away, like she does when you tickle her neck. * She has low muscle tone, which is part of her body type. It just means that she’ll always have to work a little harder to do physical activity. It’s…
