Amos Is Still Strong

Amos took a turn last month and lost weight again. We were unable to get his Feline Immune Support pills any more.  The manufacturer told me they will be making the same formula in a chewable formula.  Ya right, a cat is going to willingly chew a pill!  Especially an older cantankerous one that can't smell much because he has a drippy nose anyway.  I bought out the rest they had on hand and a couple I found on Ebay too.  I have a years worth now. Amos is doing better, but it will take awhile for his weight to get back to where it was.   I must say between the special foods and the pills my kitchen looks like a vet's office.  Oh well.........we do what we can to make our geriatric children feel better.

I'm still trying to get everything together to start selling on Ebay.  There's a lot to learn before you jump into selling.  I tried it once before and didn't sell a thing.  This time I'm doing the research needed to see a profit.  My other blog about how to make money on the Internet is being worked on slowly also. It's sort of on hold so I can move forward with the Ebay project.  I'm anxious to start an Ebay store selling everything pet related after I get the auction selling part established.  I have to sell dog jammies!  My girls need more jammies!

The cats have been enjoying the warm weather we are having right now.  The windows are cracked open and they spend most of their time with their noses stuck to the window screens.  Many of the birds of Spring are showing up now.  Just in the past week I've seen Tanagers, Orioles, Red Winged Black birds, Steller's Jays, Grosbeaks and Nut Hatches.  The cats are loving all the noisy birds at the feeders.  Unfortunately the stray cats have noticed them too.  Most of the cats in the neighborhood think this is their well stocked Deli.

So.....stay tunned for more on the Ebay sales / Internet Money Blog info.

Muttzncatz's Place Update

I caught a picture today of Tanner as he was napping in a basket by the front door.

He has been extremely elusive.  You can't even make eye contact with him and he's gone.  I shudder to think if I should ever have to give him any serious medicines...who would win that round?  For as chunky as he is he moves with lightning speed.

Fina was just getting ready for an afternoon nap when I clicked this picture.

At least her eyes aren't glowing like her picture on the left of the page.

Victor is fighting me on his feedings.  I have gone through two large towels so far and there will be at least two more by the end of the day.  That is a messy job.  Feeding a cat that doesn't want to hold still is not my idea of fun.  He is sneaky about it too.  He shrinks into the towel instead of trying jump forward out of the hold.  I have tried every wrap I can think of on him and he still escapes before I'm done feeding.  I end up wearing almost as much as he has eaten.  I will say that giving him his pill is a breeze.  Since he doesn't have teeth in most of his mouth he can't bite me.

Maybe it will be easier tomorrow.

All Is Quiet On The NorthWestern Front

Today we did the sock return at KMart and went to Costco (found some wonderful flannel sheets for our bed), then a quick trip to Petco for Cherry's cookies.  They have doggy chocolate chip and sandwich cookies that look good enough to eat.  She loves them and must have one a day.  What she isn't going to like is the toothpaste and toothbrush we got for her.

My days should calm down a bit now since we have all the meds for the cats and no appointments for the dentist until September.  Barring anything unforeseen....it should be wonderfully boring here for a while. ( This is where God decides that we aren't working hard enough and sends us yet another  challenge)  If possible..... I'm going back to weeding the yard.

I adore Sunday nights.  It's my quiet time.  My husband goes to bed and the weekend is finally over.  The cats go to their special baskets and crash for a few hours and it's just so perfectly peaceful.  I can watch a movie or blog or craft or paint or anything I wish with little or no interruption.  Lately my tooth pain has been interrupting my quiet times though.  Now that's gone and I can get on with my R&R.

I'm half done with my crocheted dog sweater.  It's a pattern by My Savannah Cottage.  She has so many wonderful patterns for doggy dresses and sweaters.  If you get a chance go and check out her wonderful patterns.

My Back Went Out But I Didn't

I'm not sure what I did tonight to throw out my back... but it's out.  The pain is enough to take my breath away.  Then there's my toothache.  I can't seem to win the pain battle lately.

I'm making another dog sweater for Cherry.  It's crocheted this time.  It has a bunch of popcorn stitches on the back panel.  When I get it done I'll take a picture and post it here.  It's done in Knit Picks Swish worsted in Marine Heather.  That's kind of a deep teal and dark turquoise color.  I adore Knit Picks yarn and their needles.  They are a local company but I still have to buy their products online.

Homer and Moosey went to the vet and returned home with antibiotics for their infections.  Moosey is easy to give meds to.  Homer, on the other hand, is like wrestling with an octopus. He's around 17 pounds of furry legs all moving at the same time. I think I got more liquid on me than in his mouth.

Have a pleasant tomorrow
