Over the weekend, we discovered ants upstairs. Not many, less than a dozen maybe. One is too many for Mom, as she lives by her saying that goes, “If you see one, you have a hundred.” Olivia, the nature-lover she is, spent a good portion of an afternoon watching the ants come and go from under a very heavy bookcase, never thinking to bother them as they went about their ant business, and thus, alerting us to the problem.
“Olivia, are you watching the ants, or are you eating them?” we asked.
Eat them? Ewww! Only crazy cats eat ants! I’m sitting here in this half-light admiring my reflection on this ant-crawling floor, if you must know. Eat them? Take your accusations elsewhere, Dad!
Meanwhile, ant-hunting, ant-eating Pia resided elsewhere.
Did someone insinuate I’m a crazy cat??
Later, we got the ant issue under control, somewhat, with fresh bait traps behind the heavy bookcase. And as it turned out, our next door neighbor had just had their property sprayed for ants the day before. Happens every time. *sigh*

Our posts will be spotty this week as our computer backup is taking way much longer than anticipated. Or so Dad says. At least we know our data doesn’t have ants! Well, we’re pretty sure.

Tessa came through last week’s dental cleaning and extraction with flying colors. Apparently, she was able to charm her way into the vet techs’ hearts and reportedly, was a very good girl . . . after she got an initial injection. Yep, sounds like typical Tessa behavior to us!
She had one upper premolar (number 207 as seen on your handy-dandy cat dental chart) and a small front incisor (number 103) removed. There was no sign of an abscess or trouble on any lower teeth per x-rays which is a bit perplexing because she seemed to have problems with her lower right side about six weeks ago. We’re NOT complaining! Many thanks to everyone at Forever Pet Dental for keeping Tessa comfortable and well cared for.

We’re overdue for a bit of computer maintenance and in fact, have been running a major, gi-NORMOUS backup every day for the past three weeks in hope of preventing a loss of data. It’s finally to the point of needing to shut down to wrap up the maintenance work between our home server and computer so we’re going to take the rest of the week off to let Dad do his thing.
Thanks for your patience and we hope to see you next week!
