Wordless Wednesday

A Little of This and That...

It's been a whirlwind around here but finally it's a good whirl. Isabella is sneezing just a few times a day and has one eye that remains a little watery but she's back to lounging the day away...

And making sure somemommy doesn't sleep in and miss breakfast...

We haven't got a Christmas tree yet but Mommy's friend helped her make a wreath so at least the outside of our house looks a little festive...

Inside we've been cleaning house because our Grandpa from Kansas is coming today to visit us! I was on the lookout for sheet monsters so he'd be safe...

Since he's coming I better rest up so I'm ready to be scritched and doted on...

I made you squee didn't I? My mommy squees all. the. time. I'm so cute she can hardly stand it. Anyway, we're going to take a blogcation while our Grandpa from Kansas is here so we'll be back on December 14th. Until then, we hope all goes well with all of you!

Enjoy the next week!

Weekend Wrap Up

We sure needed last weekend around here. Of course it was a long holiday weekend but that didn't matter since Mommy was sick and Isabella was really, really sick. We all felt bad for Bella because of her stuffed up nose, runny eyes and lethargy. She made Cod awful noises while breathing and her sneezes could be heard from anywhere in the house. Mommy thought she needed fresh air so even though it was barely 40 degrees outside, we both got fresh air - from our own windows of course...

Because of Mommy needing to rest up for her show today, I put a stop to any more beady goodie making...

Whatever inventory we had is what she's taking today including all these earrings...

And there's even some journals in this box...

The break must have helped because both Mommy and Isabella were feeling better yesterday. Isabella played with a piece of soft fleece and even tried to bite it so her mouth must be better too! She is still stuffed up and sneezing but not near as bad as she was. She even felt well enough to notice the introoder Dooney in our yard...

Daddy and I are glad both of them are finally on the mend. Mommy is a lousy patient anyway let alone when she is up most the night listening to Isabella. Sick plus tired equals cranky! The mood did lighten considerably when Isabella played and was more alert yesterday. I'm still staying away from her and I promise to leave her alone today while Mommy is at her show too. We do want to pass along thanks for all the purrs!

How was your weekend?

Hope you're doing well today!

PeeS: Mommy here: We don't know what caused the cuts on Isabella's nose and probably never will. The dental specialist is at a different vet's office than our regular one and she pretty much said any follow up will be done with our regular vet who I talked to on Friday. I told her about Isabella's nose and she was pretty shocked and didn't know what would've caused it unless whatever was used to give Isabella the inhaler twice during the procedure had a sharp edge that cut her. She was concerned about Isabella's URI but knew the Clavamox would start working which it finally did. Isabella has been eating her wet food since the night of her dental but we hadn't seen her drink water until yesterday. The vet had said that drinking or eating closes off the only way she could breathe so we could expect to see her back off of those. Isabella certainly didn't back off from food though which was a good sign so seeing her drink was a great sign! Her daddy and I feel so bad for putting her through all this but it's a relief knowing her teeth won't hurt her any more and she'll never have to go through another dental again! Now if we can just keep Angel from catching the URI all will be great once again!

Thank Cod for the Weekend...

Because Mommy is a worry wart wanted to keep an eye on me yesterday*, she made me stay in the living room while she had a webinar. I thought, how bad could it be to lay on the comfy couch for two hours and nap. What I didn't know is that I'd have to listen to a man go on and on about tax stuff...

Hey, whatcha you two doing? Oh my Cod, another webinar? Bella, I warned you about those! Uh, I have important business to take care of anywhere but here! See ya!

Yes, she did warn me and no, I didn't listen. I sure wish I had because this is excruciating...

I am a very patient Tortie but I'm reaching my tolerance limit...

Does he ever stop Mommy?

That was the longest two hours! I know more about taxes than any Tortie should. Ever!

Hope today is the beginning of a great weekend!

*Mommy here: I kept an eye on Isabella yesterday because Wednesday night she had several asthma attacks despite receiving twice the inhaler treatment plus the cortisone shot earlier that evening. The first attack around 9pm was a high pitched squeaky wheezy sound that we've never heard before. I actually thought she was choking on a Greenies treat I had given them not long before that but she was purring and breathing fine in between this sound. Yes, I googled Heimlich maneuver for cats because I really thought she was choking! I stayed up most the night listening for her and checking on her in the dark. Thankfully she's predictable where she sleeps! She had a couple more attacks until about 3am but they were more normal sounding. I made her stay by me yesterday and she had no more attacks so hopefully this was all caused by the stress of the car ride Wednesday. Oh how I wish she didn't have to go through this. It's heart breaking to not understand what is happening and how to help her. 

Not So Wordless Wednesday

Hey everybuddy! It's me popping in to show you that my left foot is better! I have a very slight limp (just enough to keep the treats coming) so I'm way better than I was last week!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to catch me some flying leaves! Happy Wednesday to you!
