Happy Halloween from BOO!



Mwha ha ha ha ha!  I am zee mad scienteest cat! 

What We Do On A Sunny Day

We're a lively crew here at Chez Poonie.  Here's me, enjoying a little naptime in the sunshine. 


As you can plainly see, I get along JUST FINE with Squashy Face, just as long as he knows who's supposed to get the bulk of the sun.


This is one of those "ahhhhhhh" shots.


The dogs are relegated to the side of the room with no sunshine.  I think that's fair since THEY get to go outside. 


Boogie decided to do a "cute".


And here's Little Miss Heartworm, upside down as usual and begging for that belly rub.

Speaking of heartworms, by the time Blogger decides to post this entry (in about 3-4 days) she will have started her heartworm eradication regimen.  First off is x-rays and tests to determine the extent of the infestation, which hopefully won't be too bad.  She's had a dose of her regularly scheduled Heartgard since we detected the infection so hopefully that has kept the numbers down, and after her bad reaction to the rabies shot, she has bounced back to her usual happy self.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I Don't Feel So Good



That rabies shot she got yesterday?  Bad reaction.  Everyone forgot to give her Benadryl beforehand and after I got home from taking the niece to the airport and let the dogs in the house, I started to notice that Holly was definitely not her usual happy self.  Her ears were hot, her butt was swollen and tender and all she wanted to do was snuggle into pillows and lie there, miserable.

The vet said to give her half a Benadryl, which I did, and while she feels a little better this morning, she is not about to get out from under the covers and face the world.

I know they say it's awful when an animal is hurting because they can't tell you what's wrong, but if expressions could talk (and they do), this one says "Leave me the freak alone, Mom.  I feel like s**t."

Note:  This post still doesn't show up as the latest published post on any "followers" sites.  Why does this happen????
