Brown Bear

It's Twozday, and we'll focus on Chili Bruce.

King of the Front Window.

Sitting on his brofur in the double-wide scratcher.

Sleeping on MY kitchen chair.

His full name is Chili Bruce Lee.

CB's nicknames:

Brown Bear
Chills
Bowl Licker
Red Hot Chili Dog

Things you may not know about Chili:

-The Hubby has worked hard and long to get CB comfortable with being held like a baby.

-Chili often naps on my kitchen chair, while Manny uses The Hubby's.

-Chili Bruce rare walks away from any cat food that he's offered, and he licks his bowl clean EVERY MEAL.

-Chili loves to lick the remnants of raw almond butter, oil, or salad dressing from his human's dinnerware, and has munched on cooked broccoli and cauliflower.

-If a human is supine on the futon, CB will climb onto your chest.  He'll nap there, but beware if there is a noise or some activity that makes him launch off in a split-second, usually with claws out.  OOF!

Sharing Style

It's PO'Monday, and we are comparing:

August, 2015
Celestial Paddy O'Malley, chillaxin'.

August, 2026
Henry, with no worries.

August, 2019
PO'M using The Hubby as a security blanket.

August, 2026
Henry using me as a prop.

You may understand why I call him Henry O; he's channeling Pommy's style.

Henry health update:

The veterinarian called with test results on Friday.

He's gained 1/2 a pound, which indicates that his intestines are absorbing food and nutrients, and that the chemo and medicines are helping.

His liver values are better, but still not quite where she wants them to be, so his double dose of antibiotics is back in the med rotation as soon as the orders arrive.

Follow up appointment in a month.

Six of ten chemo treatments completed.

#7 is Tuesday, September 1.

Happy 35th Independence Day, Ukraine.

Ukraine began celebrating its independence from Russia annually on August 24, 1991.

Here's hoping the ongoing war there ends soon.

In fact, let's just stop warring all together, folks.

We are all better than this.

Must Stay Focused

Some Henryville humor:

Good luck, Sir Knight!

Are you sure he didn't spit it out again, Captain Kirk?

I wish...

Pill a cat!
(Thanks, ET!)
