Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey..!! MK 5

Good morning everyone,

We have just got back from taking my car to the garage for it's yearly service and MOT so hopefully if Myrtle passes ok I can get my Tax disc and will be leagal for another year.My disc doesn't run out until the end of this month but I like to get everything done in advance once I have the MOT that is .We have also been to Tesco's and handed some of our money over for enough food to last us a couple of weeks:D

Shiney,the fact that Oscar is slowing down could be due to either old age or the Diabetes if his sugar levels are high and he isn't on any medication yet as I have heard that some people had extreme tiredness as part of their condition and the stiffness could be due to a bit of Athritis if he is an elderly cat and the fact that the weather is getting damper.I do hope that he soon feels better and please send him our love

Moyra,lovely photo of Amber,she is such a sweet dog and good luck with her op on Monday it will help her have a good and happy lifeOur Tina used to practically do handstand up trees when she was coming into her first season and it was quiet comical at other times cocking her leg like the dogs do.We also found that after the spaying she went mental for a few weeks and we felt we had made a mistake having her spayed but once the hormones had subsided she was fine and never had any problems after that.:DI expect Amber will have to wear one of those Victorian coll ars once the op is done so that she doesn't try and lick the woundBy the way that Excema rash has all but gone on my arm now so the Betnovate did some good in the end.:D

Woo,hope you are flying well and that Penny is feeling a lot better

We had thick fog this morning when we went into town but looks like the sun is trying to come out now
.

Have a good day everyone

 

Hi Shiney,

Sorry to hear that Oscar definetley has diabetes and he has joined the club:(I expect he will have to have insulin as I have not herad of cats having the type of diabetes that can be controlled by diet but I don't know much about the condition in cats so can't really help.

Thanks for the update and please keep us posted and we all send our love

 

Morning everyone,

Its cool here this morning, and no new snow...infact the snow from yesturday, is melting!!

Brad's at work already, so i had my shower and have some laundry in, while I'm having my coffee, need to go up later and do the floors at the shop, and pick up some things at the grocery store too.

 

Thanks again WOO for uplifting the photo of Amber and thanks Shiney for refreshing my memory how to do it. For some reason although that is what I try I never seem to get it right. You can see by the face on her she doesn't think much to having her photo taken.

Oh dear so Oscar has joined our diabetes club poor little dear. I wonder if there is a vetinary version of our Metformin that we take. I hope the vet can sort something out for him without taking him in for 24 hours.

I'll try and get a better photo of her and upload it to PB. I used to have a lot of photos on there at one time but deleted them all. Shall have to see what I can do about restoring them.

Well I got all my sheets out on the line but the sun is so low in the sky I don't think it is going to reach down to my whirligig washing line. The boundary wall is in the way and all the neighbours shrubbery which she has allowed to grow to about 16 feet high! blocks out the sun completely.

 

Got it at last!

 

Oh poor Oscar. I hope they can do something for him, he seems to have gone down hill fast, poor little mite. Good luck with him at the hospital Shiney.

 

Hello All,the computer 'thingy' hasn't been working today but Mr Lolimac has 're-booted' or what ever it's called and we are back on track
Poor darling Oscar i sincerley hope he is alright,hopefully it's just a glich,the stress of the tests...and he'll be back to his good old self as quick as
Oh Moyra ... Amber is an absolute beauty...what an adorable faceThank you for the picture...
So pleased the cream worked Kandy thankfully you'll be more comfortable now...
waiting for the dinner to cook...but more importantly waiting for news of Oscar.....

 

Thank you Shiney for keeping us updated...Oscar is a very popular chap...I understand that cats do sort of 'pant' when they are stressed...bless his little heart...at least they can keep a close whatch on him at the vets and monitor his progress...
Thinking of you and Mrs Shiney...

 

Yes, it's a worry about poor Oscar do hope he is going to feel better tomorrow once they get him sorted out a bit perhaps he is feeling weak from the dehydration. What a worry. Bless him he will feel really lost until he can come home again. I am sending healing thoughts and prayers for him.

Lolimac, when you look at Amber she looks older than her wee 6 months doesn't she? Pretty sure she is growing towards her first season, she is definitely laying scent everywhere.

I managed to cut my grass today. Felt I ought to as we have to keep Amber in for 10 days after her op so will need to be able to see where to clean up after her in the garden. It was really a bit on the damp side but by this afternoon it wasn't too bad to cut.
