Socks hurt paw!

Michael June 24th, 2009

One of our outdoor cats got bit by something venomous the other day.  I just happened to notice his paw and took a picture.

The Paw!

The Paw!

  He wasn’t limping or showing any other signs of distress so I didn’t get concerned when his paw swelled 3 times its normal size.  The next day I saw the wound itself.  Again I wasn’t concerned because he wasn’t complaining.  But the next time I saw him, I decided to take him to the vet, who wasn’t concerned too much and gave him some Clindamycin for the infection. Then I took another picture.

Harley’s annoying habit!

Michael January 7th, 2009

Remember Harlequin? Our cute, fluffy, sweet, adorable kitten? We love her very much, but lately she’s developed a really annoying habit.  She’ll go and get a bit of Diamond’s dog food and enthusiastically bat it around the floor.  With our wood floors she can get some really long (and loud!) hits. That’s why I’m up at 4:30 this morning blogging.

Well, at least she’s still fluffy.

Restful Sleeping

Michael September 11th, 2008

I wanted to wait a few days to be sure it wasn’t a fluke.  I believe it’s not and I’m going to say its official. Jackson is SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! YEAH!

But, God in His infinite wisdom, has decided that Amy and I should have a few more weeks of sleep deprived nights. Harley wakes one of us up to either eat or wanting to play.  Last night she woke me up at 3:30am by licking and biting my ear.

What can I say, such is my life.
