We passed! We passed! The Ohio State Board of Pharmacology passed us 100% on their rules and regulations! Whew! So glad that is done. Actually, it was a great learning experience for me and FFRC. It's also a good thing to keep current with these things. I appreciate your support. I'm soooo glad that that is done and we passed!!
In celebration of our Passing, there will be a cake coming from Kathy K from IA! Also lunch was provided by eaglewatcher. I so much appreciate your generosity. The cats insisted on a yummy for themselves so they got another ham bone! That's the crunch, crunch, crunch noise you probably hear on the cam!
More good news! Coralie's dressings were changed today. Two days ago (we are to change the dressings every 2 days), she had 12 black pads. Today.......there are only TWO!!! Isn't that just wonderful?! And both rear feet are improved too--the infection is getting under control. Her ears are very hard and black, but she's already told me that she'll look cute even with short ears and I believe her! We'll keep a close eye on her toesies and feet and ears. If we need to make a debridement appointment with our vets, we will. So far, so good!
Our new boy, Freedom has arrived! Oh my goodness, this boy is a love machine! He loves to be held, loves to be petted, loves to play! He is a bit like Lorenzo and Derecho how they use our legs to help with support. He's probably more severe CH than the other cats. But, that boy has a heart of gold---truly loves people and the other cats. His determination level is at a very high mark! He has a tiny bit of a runny nose so we'll keep him in the back Thumper's Room for a little bit yet. We'll show him to the cam though occasionally
CH--besides meaning Cerebellar Hypoplasia, what else could it mean? I like Coming Home. I also like Capable and Happy.
More good news! We have three adoptions tomorrow. Our sweet Miss Marti will be going home with Tammy who is visiting here for a couple days. The other two cats are Turtle and HoHos. These are the last of Paul's 6 cats. They will be going with our friends Curt and Connie. All 3 will have awesome homes.
Want more good news? Our friend Diana that is visiting from South America has extended her visit by a whole week! She is staying with Sherri B. We're so glad to have her stay longer!
Yesterday was another fun Snow Day! In the afternoon, Lynnette, Kelly, Diana, Sherri, Jimmy, Haley, Tammy and myself went out on the farmyard--snow angels were made, snow splits were done and snowballs were thrown! A few went in shorts and tshirts---coooooold but very fun! I believe the horses thought we were crazy!
We will have BOXES tonight, but the time is at 5:30 pm instead of 6:00.
