Oh, The PO'M!

It's PO'Monday!

Early January, 2016.

Celestial Pommy was as lovable as ever, despite the cold and snow:

His feets are in focus, at least!

He was fluffy, not chonky...right?

Hope all who are affected by the cold across the globe are doing okay.

The Hubby and I are contemplating the purchase of a treadmill, as the extreme cold makes it dangerous for me to complete my extended walks in the 'hood.

But don't want another piece of exercise equipment that becomes a clothes hanger; if anyone has experience with home treadmills, please comment.

Late Update

Angel, at Saturday's vet visit

This morning, as she noms a little

An update!

Saturday's vet visit went much better than I'd dreamed of.

By adding an appetite stimulant and pain meds, the doc is sure Angel will eat more soon.

The snowstorm took my mind off of my concerns for Angel, then the wonderful staff at Cats Veterinary Hospital easily gave me instructions and loaded us up with needed items.

I left the office with wings on my heels, and my heart as light as air.

She isn't cured, but she will stay with us for awhile longer...YAY!

💕😻💘

As for that storm, Paddy and Sweetie are fine!

The PO'M, using my lap as his look out

We received about 6 inches of snow...with huge drifts, and then it rained.

We shoveled the heavy, wet snow.

Overnight, the temperature dropped into the basement.

The photo above was taken at 5 pm today, when the windchill was in the single digits F.

Sweetie and The PO'M were happy to have dinner and fresh water, and I was delighted to pet them and give them love.

I'll share more photos tomorrow.

Patty O'Malley, greeting me this morning

Sweetie did not come out of The Cat Hotel for breky today, probably on account of the Alberta Clipper that swooped in from Canada, bringing wind and deep cold.  Patty, of course, rarely avoids a) a meal or b) being with me.  Looks like he's been investigating all 'round the house, snow or no. The 'O' Cats will be on kibble rations for a while; it's too cold for wet food, which starts to freeze up before the cats can get more than a few mouthfuls.  Over the years, The Hubby and I have tried: heated bricks, heated bowls, and bowls served in cardboard boxes to retain heat.  None really work in the deep cold, so kibble is it.
