Two on Tuesday

Today for Two on Tuesday we have two photos each of two cats and two topics to cover :)

 Cousin Sophie and Tanner laying in Aunties bed...we have seen a shift in which cats are hanging out together since Devon's passing.  Cousin Sophie took things the hardest, as Devon was her best friend.  She has finally gotten back into running around the house like a mad woman!  I'm glad to see Tanner trying to fill the hole that Devon left for Sophie.

Smokey and Cousin Pirate in my bed...yes, that is where Smokey sleeps at night, and I have but the tiniest bit of pillow for myself :)  Pirate is a bit crazy...he acts like he is afraid of me, and will run when I walk near him...but I find him in my room a lot during the day.  So strange. 

Smokey update:  Yesterday's visit went very well.  The vet was pleased with how he looked.  We have our game plan for the year and we are to return in one year. 

Mancat Monday

Smokey doesn't know it yet, but he'll be a victim of the snag and stuff later this afternoon!  He has his annual visit to the vet school dermatology department today at 2pm.  He is looking very nice and his allergens seems to be pretty well under control these days.  This appointment helps us make a game plan for dealing with his allergies for the rest of the year...such things like when should we move to every 10 days on the shots, instead of every 2 weeks? 

I have my notes and paperwork ready to discuss his history with the new vet student and our favorite Dr Murphy!  She is the best dermatology vet we know and did miracles with Mojo when he was seeing her.  We are so thankful to have met her!

Wordless Wednesday

Black Cat Friday

Smokey likes to drink from the bird bath when he is allowed outside (under supervision).  We haven't been out in a few weeks because he is still receiving emails from the Pollen.com people regarding high pollen counts in our area, for his specific allergens...right now the predominant allergen is grass.  It's a balancing act between letting him enjoy life (window whiffies, etc...) and keeping his eyes itch free and not swollen.

I is for...

I was about to say we'll skip the vowels, but I challenged myself and came up with the following...
INTERESTING! This is another shot from the Red Wing Parade...here are students from a cosmotology school dancing down the street with huge scissors! This was interesting, to say the least!

IMMUNOTHERAPY INJECTIONS - This is the box that Mojo's allergy (immunotherapy) serum comes in. This is the list of the various allergens that are included in his serum to help reduce he reactions. These shots worked wonders for him. Smokey also has a box of serum in the fridge, and he gets 1cc every two weeks.

ICE and snow...Tanner playing in, standing in, looking in awe at the snow we had this past winter. We had a lot of sleet (ice) that fell on top of the snow and really condensed it. The boys would not venture out until the patio was cleared :)

That's the last post this week...we'll take Sunday off and resume on Monday with the letter J...stay tuned!
