Chucky Update

Chuck waits for the vet to arrive

Chuck and I visited The Animal Clinic of Sterling Heights yesterday, as it was time for his check-up, and we had noticed that his breathing seemed a bit labored.  The doc listened and x-rayed, and decided that Chuck has a little too much fluid in his body, but luckily it wasn't around his heart or lungs.  She upped his Lasix (diuretic) daily pill amounts, and even gave him a shot of Lasix too.  I am to call her back today, to tell her how he's doing.  Chuck had lost a bit of weight too, but only a couple of ounces.  She said this fluid build-up is a symptom that can be easily managed.

Once again, Angel hissed at Chuck when we got home, because the vet tech who carried him to the x-ray room apparently took a bath in perfume, and he simply reeked of the smell.  The Hubby spent some quiet time with one hand on Angel, and the other on Chuck as they lay side-by-side after dinner, and he managed to calm them both into rumbles of purrs and then naps.  I got no such treatment, so I took off for a walk around the neighborhood to steady my nerves.  Breathe in, breathe out.  I had wrapped my scarf around and over Chuck while we waited, in hopes that it was a protective force-field, keeping the dog barks, baby cries, and general hubbub from overpowering my sweet kitty.  AND my brand-new cell phone wasn't receiving everything it should, while I fretted that I was missing work-related items, and personal texts and emails too.  Phooey, as Phoebe from 15 And Meowing always says!  Office I.T. fixed everything up nicely today, so that's that!

Lonely Beds

"We are lovely comfy beddys..."

What is this...?

OH!  Angel is hidden under here...

...and Chucky is in the window, soaking up sunshine

"I like this bed!"

"Nobody loves us!"
