We took Joey and Phoebe to the vets yesterday. The wonderful part is that Jenny and Brent drove clear down here from Canada to be with Joey during this "different" day for him---gave him much moral support. Joey had one K-9 tooth removed--ended up having 9-10 sutures in that one spot. He also had an ultrasound cleaning! He's doing great, ate a good breakfast today and is acting like nothing happened. Now, on to Jovember when he will be adopted into his Canadian home!
Phoebe also had her nose surgery---where a skin patch is removed by both nostrils---this opens up the airway so she can breathe better. Unfortunately many Persian noses are so small that when they inhale, it closes off the tissue in the nose making it hard to take a proper breath. Just like Alice Mary, we expect her to do just fine. Her sutures will come out in 10-12 days.
And then.........we brought Dancer home with us from Dr. P's office. She's a little girl that was found at a pole barn dance. Out there in the country all by herself. She cannot get enough holding and loving. She purrs just looking at her and kneads her little paws constantly, like she's dancing, hence her name. She is all black except for a little white on her neck. Her birthday is 8/2/16---12 weeks old.
You might already know---we had 2 episodes with Alice Mary where she suddenly had major respiratory issues. She actually started meowing differently and looked at us both times like she was letting us know of her troubles. Meds were immediately given and quick relief was noted. Because of her quick response to this med, it is felt that she may be an asthma cat. She is now on a treatment protocol per Dr. Darcy. She is doing fine once again and is showing good interest in eating. The good thing is she's not fully engulfing her face into the food dish now---we don't have to wipe off her forehead anymore! What a sweet little girl.

She was 18 1/2 years old. We have had such fun with LittleKat's gifts, cards and notes. She is greatly missed by Alan and Elaine. KittyKat enjoyed a very wonderful life and was so very loved. We too will miss her.
We have heard from Bradley's new mom! He has a new name too---it's Bentley! He is doing great and is making himself right at home. "He is such a joy."
Today is a Move Day! Eddie White, Jordaan. Dusty and Dancer are now in Cat's Corner Room. They have been showing interest in expanding their horizon! Yes, we've seen them peeking out the door to see what's on the other side! They look very relaxed already in this room. Won't be long until they get that door open and they can join the rest of the cats! Eddie White is doing awesome--seems like he's fit in very quickly!
