Morning!
I slept on the floor last night. Well, come on, I can't very well sleep on my bed knowing that little peg leg Cham might want to join me and Mooch way up high, now can I?
So we all slept on the floor like a little campout. It was fun.
And wow, there was a lot of action that totally passed me last night, and I was even here doing nothing! What on earth was my problem?! What was I thinking?! Well, it sure was nice to wake up to lots of fun posts. http://planetsmilies.net/grinning-smiley-9518.gif
I'm happy to report that Cham seems to be feeling much better today! It looks like it still smarts to hobble, but at one point she was racing around with Mooch (again, much to my horror), and even wrestling some with him (until I'd break it up), she's been wanting to play with her teaser, and then the real clincher for me was her jumping up onto the sofa like she always does, doing her little twinkle dance and meow routine before plopping down by my side to get her tum-tum rub and song.
I feel so happy to have her feeling better! And Mooch is so happy, too!

Now if only I didn't have to go out of town tomorrow for three days. http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-883.gif
Anyway, Cham's figured out that her cast makes for a great chin rest, so it's not all that bad.
MICHELE - Thanks for the kitty pill advice! This morning I tried it out. But I don't think I'm grabbing the right part of the scruff, or maybe I'm not scruffing enough, because all I was really able to do was to make her look very surprised LOL. http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal-cat-smiley-6110.gif
But it definitely was easier to do putting her on the table and having her body sideways up against mine (I'd actually had Cham standing on the floor, and I was kneeling over her, she wasn't on my lap - that would take a miracle LOL). And this way is going to make it much easier for my mom (and her bad knees that won't allow her to kneel down) who will take over the nurse responsibilities from tomorrow night. I hope she'll be able to do it.
>You were gracious to be so understanding.
That's kind of you to say. If I hadn't had this face at the vet's http://planetsmilies.net/sad-smiley-8364.gif trying to swallow tears, I may not have been so easy going about it. But the female vet really did a good job of bringing out the understanding in me. Thank goodness. 'Cause I have the ability to make a real stink LOL.
>WHERE IS EVERYBODY!?
HEY! You're supposed to be resting your ARM!! http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-175.gif

>I have been going on walks in the morning, hopefully I can walk this baby out!
OMG, LOL. Well, it's not wonder that you haven't been able to sleep well, I mean, sheesh!
Hey, did you ever solve the cat/door/sleeping on your head situation?
JEN - I think you answered it for me. Simply put, here are your options :
Scenario A) go there, let him feed me and then come home when I want
Scenario B) or shower put my PJs on and have him come here
Clearly the answer is
Scenario C) Shower, put on PJs, have him come there and feed you, and then have him go home when you want
LOL.
ROBIN - Back to back colds? URGH! That sucks! Arrrrr! (It will be pirate day for two weeks for Cham.)
You've got a busy weekend ahead. Get some good rest and try to get a little better before heading out for it all. Sending good wishes!
>How about a hot port toddy
I have no idea what that is, I assume it's an alcoholic drink, but it sounds more like something Diane might want to get for dirty diaper disposal.
All righty. I'm off to....oh no, wait, I'm not off to do a dang thing. Where's another Frasier DVD.........
ETA : Oh, I see what I thought was last night's post by Michele was actually posted just 20 minutes ago!
