I don't need a truck, I have a pony!!!!

Today Sandy and I bought a double rocker for our front porch!!! We thought we might be able to get it home in her vehicle.....wrong, it would not fit.... so we used the Mustang!!!! No problem, it fit right in the back seat, we hooked up the seat belts and away we went!!!! I continue to not miss my truck one bit!!!!!!

The saga of Roxy Kitty -

Roxy Kitty came home from the vet this afternoon after spending the weekend in the hospital and getting IV fluids and antibiotics and having lots of blood work..... She does seem to be somewhat better!!!

The blood work indicated that she may have Toxoplasmosis - it is caused by a one-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. But, they cannot be sure that is what is wrong until they do another blood test exactly three weeks after this blood test.....and the second blood test is also positive. In the meantime, back at the ranch, Sandy and I will feed Roxy Kitty two different types of anitbotics... one general and the other specifically for Toxoplasmosis.... eeeehaaa!!!!

Well the good news is I am not writing her obituary at this time....... and we are very happy about that!!!!!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.... I will keep you updated when something new happens....

Cheers, john

ps - tomorrow I take Little Bit Kitty to the vet..............

Roxy Kitty -

Little Roxy Kitty has been feeling ill for awhile now and so we took her to the vet yesterday... She spent the night in the hospital and had extensive blood work done. The results of the blood work are not back yet, but should be sometime today. They gave her intervenes fluids - and said she ate, pooped, and peed and was acting more herself this morning - that meant she was hissing at them!!!

Hopefully once the blood work is back they will know why she has been ill and lost almost half of her body weight (she went from 11 pounds to just under 6 pounds in a couple of months).

I will let you know how things are going when we know more....

Peace, john
