Ruby, what? You look alarmed. What’s going on?

I don’t want summer to end. I like summer. I like the hots! Make it stay longer!

Summer’s not going anywhere for a long time still. Who told you differently? Ah, we see. It was Tessa, wasn’t it?

Didn’t say a thing. Geesh, she takes everything so literal!

08/10/2018 – And now, some words from Tessa

. . . and to really get ’em wondering, I sometimes look up at the ceiling and meow softly. I’m not talking to Ceiling Cat or spy a bug, though sometimes, I think I see a teensy gnat that no one else sees. I just do it because, well, because I can, so why not?

. . . and I swear, if she picks me up one more time today like I’m a baby, ruffling my fur like I’m a dog or something . . .

. . . why on Earth wouldn’t I look fabulous on toile, I told her. It wasn’t a question, more like a statement. Sometimes those people don’t engage their brains before they start spouting words. I mean, just look at my feet, on toile! Hello?

. . . again, I fail to see my name prominently displayed on my feeder! You, a marker, and three seconds is all it would take. Must we keep up with this charade day after day?

It would seem you have a few things to discuss with us, Tessa. Go ahead. We’re listening.

. . . zzzzzzzz . . . zzzzzzzzz . . . zzzzzzzzzzzz . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzz . . .

After several days of tears and worry, we sure needed this good news – Viola’s bloodwork came back perfect! No kidney or renal disease (that took her mama last September). And thanks to Fortiflora, that poop problem cleared up today. Sure, she isn’t happy that her backside is shaved; who would be?? Don’t answer that! Now, back to the job hunt. Thank you, Feline Medical Clinic!

08/08/2018 – What a Wednesday!

We’re having one tough week here, Dad in particular who, after twenty-six years one month and four days at a company he loves, was let go, and secondly, Viola, who has a vet visit later today. Originally, she was going in for a simple baseline bloodwork panel and updating her vaccines, but yesterday, she came down with a case of runny, leaky poops and isn’t feeling well. Who can blame her? It’s nearly 100 degrees outside today and terribly dry inside and out, even with a humidifier going. Everyone is off their food and Dad’s news isn’t making anything better.

We could all use some good thoughts here, and if you are feeling overwhelmed, a little lost, and scared like we are, we hope Viola’s photo above can be of some small help.

Thank you.
