May 16 is International Pickle Day!
Ooh, I love me some pickles.
Find out more at Pickle Packers International.
Some interesting tidbits:
-The phrase “in a pickle” originated from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest.
-Pickles are traditionally hand packed because machines can’t pack as many pickles in a jar as a person can.
-The State of Michigan, where Eastside Cats reside, is the top pickle grower in the United States.

Henry Update:
Henry's new antibiotic Amoxicillin arrived Friday afternoon.
This is a twice a day med, so he received his first pill in the evening.
Also, NO fiber was mixed into his food, since he doesn't like it.
Instead, I smushed the needed amount into a pill pocket, and put it down the hatch!
Let's see what develops from these additions to The Kid's routine.
Thanks for the well-wishes; he's the bestest kitty.

Chili Bruce was focused on something out the window, so I took advantage lack of motion.
Artified with the Hot Tea filter on Prisma.

Chili Bruce looks great in the artwork. I certainly have my fingers crossed that then the new medicine is the answer. Henry's a good boy for you. Have a good pickle today.
ReplyDeleteYum, pickles!!!! Sweet artwork and purrs continue for Henry.

ReplyDeletePS My husband and I developed a spicy bread and butter pickle that family and friends absolutely love. :D
I like pickles too. Glad you found a way to get those meds into Henry. Nice art- thanks for the puzzle. XO
ReplyDeleteLove the art. Hope the new meds do the trick!
ReplyDeleteWe're pickle fans here, too. So glad you were able to give the meds to Henry -- purring they help him feel better.
ReplyDeleteOh, and looking good, Chili Bruce! :)
I had no clue about pickles having to be hand packed. Henry, take your meds!
ReplyDeleteOur dad's Mom made dill pickles and our mom's Mom made Bread & Butter pickles. Mom likes those and sweet Gerkins best. Our dad is a total dill man. We continue to send purrs and POTP to Henry. The Chili Bruce art is the best! So vibrant.

ReplyDeleteI like some pickles but not all kinds; I like them too little to buy a whole jar, I'm afraid.
