Lazy Avon Day

We spent today hanging out with Kevin and Shawna. Actually, we started the day by sleeping until almost noon. Only ten minutes remained of the morning when we got up. Shawna had pancakes for us. Rob and Kevin pulled our bikes out of the truck today (they were on top) and we biked along the […]

Safely in Avon, MN

We arrived in Avon at around 8:00 local time. Rob’s brother, Kevin and his wife Shawna greeted us. We have been plied with wine and Shawna’s delicious cooking. I took a shower and feel much more human. The cats are ensconced in our room. They seem have settled into the routine nicely. Maggie tends to

In Salt Lake City

Move to NYC–Day 1 We have arrived safely in Salt Lake City. Alas, we had to cancel the dinner with friends because, even getting up at dawn, we still didn’t arrive at Beth’s until after eleven pm. Meanwhile, you can click on the photo above to look at an album–unlabled–of the past two days. Things

Metronidazole and Maggie

So, we continue to be worried about Maggie because her appetite is still poor and she is moving very cautiously, like an old cat. Now granted, she is old, (17 years) but she usually spry and kittenish. It’s strange to see her act like she’s stiff or tip over like she’s lost her balance. So,

Maggie is much better

We stopped pilling her today. Maggie’d gotten seven days of the pills, which the vet said was the minimum that she’d like to see. And, since she was getting double-doses… oy. Anyway, we decided to stop, because she’d stopped eating. I spent the morning hanging out with Christina and in the evening, Rob and I

Half or whole?

After I dropped my computer off, I stopped by the vet’s today. I wanted to pick up a syringe to shoot water down Maggie’s throat, hoping that it would help with everything. The vet came out to talk to me, because I was a little distressed about the pilling the cat ritual. I explained that

Spoonful of sugar? Nah.

Butter makes the medicine go down. After another horrific experience pilling Maggie, I called the vet to see how bad it would be to not finish the medication. Normally, I’m a big fan of following the doctor’s orders, but Maggie was hiding from us. Her fur was lank and matted from the dried froth–I’m not

Frothing cat

Poor Maggie. She’s been having some digestive issues of late and the vet has given us a round of pills to sort her out. So for the next week, we have to poke a pill down her throat twice a day. This is bad enough, but if we don’t get it down the first time

A visual meme

I picked this up from Vylar Kaftan. The point is to type your answers to the questions into Google Images and then post the first picture listed in the returns. All of this should make it blatantly clear what my answer to Number 5 is, even if the visual answer were not so dead-on. 1.

Maggie

My cat Maggie is sitting on my lap while I write for the first time since Monday when Zamboni arrived. Zamboni is a very well-behaved, but exuberant black Labrador. She hasn’t met cats before, so her natural reaction is to lunge and back. We’ve been bringing Maggie downstairs and praising Zamboni is she doesn’t lunge

Portland

I got in around 10:20 last night. -E- met me at the airport and drove me home. It was really good to see her and I hadn’t really realized how much I’ve missed her company till I was back in it. The house was much as we’d left it. The kitchen floor, which we refinished
