The Final Friday of 2017

This year is about to come to a close but we're ending it on a good note with doublewide scratchers...

Yeah, okay, so it's only until the recycle bin is emptied so the old one will fit in it but that won't be until next year! Hee hee. We're also ending the year in good health. Isabella gave Mommy a scare a week ago and was rushed off to the emergency vet. They couldn't find anything wrong with her but she came back home smelling like the vet's office! I hissed at her for two days but all is better now...

Our regular vet was already scheduled to come to our house this past Wednesday and she said we both are soft, beautiful and looked healthy. Paws crossed our blood work comes back with the same conclusion. Anyway, we'll be spending the last days of 2017 helping Mommy clean out closets for last minute charitable donations. We'll also be sure to rest up for the start of tax season. How much longer until spring?

How will you be spending the final weekend of 2017?
We appreciate you spending time with us today and always! 

Happy New Year to all of you for all of us!

Weekend Wrap Up

We're glad it's a holiday week because our weekend was too short. We didn't even have Friday night movie night until Saturday night...

Yesterday we got our blood test results from the home vet visit last Wednesday. She said our chemistry panels, thyroid and blood cell count results are all normal. She said we look great and are healthy! Of course we knew everything would be perfect but somemommy is a worry wart so she's relieved. 

That was pretty much all our weekend excitement. Anything exciting happen in your neck of the woods?

Happy Monday!

House Call Vet. Who Knew!

We knew something was up when Mommy was stressed out all day long and then Daddy came home early from work. They're pretty easy to read. Anyway, sure enough a vet came to our house yesterday afternoon for our check ups and senior blood panel work. Daddy took me upstairs until Mommy said everything was ready. I certainly wasn't ready!

I found myself on our own kitchen counter with the vet and her tech! They tried buttering me up by telling me how beautiful my eyes and furs are and how soft I am. I kinda fell for it and didn't try to escape too much. Then I found myself on my side with the vet whispering in my ear while the tech stole my furs and then my bloods from my back leg...

I finally was released and ran downstairs to my safe spot while it was Isabella's turn. Of course she loved the attention...

I heard she squirmed and squeaked more than I did though. She's had more experience with vets than me so she knew what to expect. She's the reason we had a vet come to our house - she gets very car sick. Our old vet moved to a practice in a neighboring town and even though it's 10 miles away, that's 9.95 miles more than Isabella can handle. Anyway, we both checked out to be very healthy although one of us is a little too, uh, not svelte. Hopefully our bloods are healthy too. We'll find that out in a couple of days. *paws crossed*

Hope you have a good day!

Mommy here: I was worried that having a vet in the house would traumatize the cats, especially Angel. She did very well during the exam and came out from hiding just as soon as the vet was gone. Isabella is always fine although she really didn't like to be held down to have her leg shaved and blood taken. It's probably because she's had that done quite a bit because of all her dental work due to stomatitis.  The house call fee was just $26 which is totally worth it not to have Isabella get car sick. The exam and lab fees were similar to a traditional vet fee so we're glad to have this option. If it's an option in your area, I would recommend it! Much less stress on the cats and on us!
