Major Update (not exciting)

The kitties are all doing fairly well.  Moosey is holding his own and still being force fed three times a day.  Every once-in-a-while he will scarf down some friskies but most of the time I have to give him 50 mils Hills Science Diet ad food.

Tanner's immune system isn't the best because if his Thyroid problem or his thyroid is bad because of his immune system...not sure which.  He has developed allergies to flea bites and has to have a shot more times than I like. I can actually pick him up now without him freaking out.  He and Lamont live in the back bedroom.  I tried the other day to get them to come out for a bit and socialize with the rest of the gang.  NO WAY!  I pushed Lamont out the door and he ran back in.  The door remained open for at least an hour and a half and neither one would venture out that door.  I think I'm going to throw them out of the room and close the door before they can run back in.  They are not getting the exercise they need in that small room.

Homer is finally growing his hair back on his back half.  Strange though....it's coming in sort of grey instead of black.  He has completely stopped spraying and has made friends with Paddy.  I haven't determined if Homer is now the alpha or Paddy kept the title, but everything seems cool between them so it's all good.

Cherry and Sugar are good but Cherry has to go to the vet and get some de-worming pills.  I noticed when I picked up her poop today that she has worms.  YUCK!  
They both look so cute in their little parkas and knitted hats with the pompon's on top. The weather has turned very chilly here so they're getting suited up before going out for potty.  Sugar always manages to work her hat down over her eyes as she walks and ends up not being able to see where she's going.

The weather man here says Winter is just around the corner and we can look forward to cold weather for quite a while.  COME ON SNOW!!!!!!!  It has to snow this year.  It's been several years since we had a good snow storm.

I am now on Medicare part B.  Yea!!!  No more Providence preferred insurance. That was expensive with a huge deductible.  If you weren't going to the doctor all the time it was like not having insurance at all.  Now I have HealthNet and it seems to be doing the trick.  I went to the doctor for my yearly and it didn't cost anything except a small copay.  My blood work was basically free too.  We cancelled our insurance through my husband's work and now we get so much more on his paycheck.  He is covered by VA anyway.  He was only carrying it so I could have insurance.  Things are getting better.

So that's the way it is as of today.
