As for Chicory and Ken, they're both doing great. Ken's getting used to the idea that even on his days off, he's got to get up and get Chicory fed and then give him his shot. Even Jackie has been learning to give the injection! I haven't made it over to Ken's house to see for myself but Kenny said that Chicory is walking much better and can now make it from the kitchen, down the hall and to the bedroom without stopping to rest. He's even been playing with Endo (one of their other cats), which is something he hasn't done for several years. Chicory's water consumption is also down and they're watching the size of his "pee puddles" to make sure they're going down in size. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "We had a *wonderful* night last night and even made it home by 1:30 a.m. We had dinner at Terry's and immediately got involved in the scotch doubles tournament. The pairing is done by blind draw, so most likely, you can't play with your spouse or a friend. Two of our teammates showed up to play also (Sheryl and Rick) but when it came down to it, I won the lottery in my draw. The guy I drew as my partner had a handicap of 7 in the APA (American Poolplayers Assoc.), which is the highest you can get. Wow! What luck for me. Gerry, Rick and Sheryl all got eliminated fairly quickly from both the winners and losers brackets but Jim and I played until just after one. What a fantastic shot this guy is!! We ended up winning $40 for our time, which was nice. Of course, after paying our tab, plus the quarters for the table, we're out some money but we still had a great time." on 12:43:41 pm, Tue, 01/01/08

We all know that when you're dealing with a 17 =/- year old cat, any good, quality time is precious so Ken said that it so great to see ReRe feeling so good. At some point in the next couple of weeks, Chicory goes back to the vet for an all day stay so they can monitor his glucose levels and see if he needs some adjusting on the insulin. But for now, we're all doing the Happy Dance!! As long as Ken can get up in the morning, and Mom can pay the bill, all is well in the Sweet households. Cricket's doing very well too. He almost immediately developed a lump from his latest depo shot but it's a small one and the vet is giving the shot in a different place each time so we can keep an eye on those lumps. They do eventually go down and away so we're not too worried. (NT) -- Sandy, 12:53:21 pm, Tue, 01/01/08
And now, I've got to get moving and get something/anything done around here. Resolutions be dammed, I slept in today because I'm not used to being up and running around all evening and into the wee hours of the morn. Since I was up before 6 yesterday morning, it was a long day and by the time 9 p.m. rolled around, I was already one hurting puppy. So Gerry let me sleep while he got up to feed the monsters. It's almost indecent but he came in and woke me at noon!!! But it's a beautiful day, sunny and windy, and very, very cold. I've got to work on my calendar for 2008, adding all of the birthdays, etc. and then just do a quick cleaning to get the fur up. I hope everybody's having a wonderful day and enjoying the start of 2008. (NT) -- Sandy, 12:59:35 pm, Tue, 01/01/08
