Kitties!
Mommy Trish here. I KNOW! Two weeks in a row. Will wonders never cease.
Well, I tried to do two blogs for a while, one just for myself, and that was a colossal FAIL on my part to keep it up. But that doesn't mean I don't have really important stuff to say! So I empowered myself to make an "Executive Decision" (since I have the thumbs) to take over Sunday posts as I see fit.
Take that.
February's been a fraught kind of month for me, I felt like I've been spinning my wheels, not getting anything done that I consider important. I'm sick and tired of the cold weather and last week was cloudy which irked me, as well. My back hurt, (it's slow to heal) and my allergies acted up. So I had a pity party and took an extra day off of work and didn't do anything but lay around like a slug. It was blissful. I'm still cranky, but that's pretty normal for me. If only it would warm up! I miss the HOTS. Thank you for your kind comments a couple of posts back, it does make a difference.

Johnson has turned into a GIANT super-lovebug since his shaving, sitting *almost* in my lap and soliciting luvvins from both of us. I truly think he is a lot more comfortable with all that shaggy fur gone. He enjoys being rubbed and scratched all over now, before he'd snap if we petted him on his flanks or close to his bottom. He had tons of tiny mats in there that I couldn't get out and it was time for a fur suit re-boot. I cannot get over how svelte he is--he's actually much thinner than I thought, he has a waist and everything! He weighs less too, he had a pound of fur removed, no kidding.

The Baby went to the vet. She's always had boogery eyes and nose, but her ears were getting bad too. Lots of wax. She'd sit on Scott's desk and give the drawer with the Q-tips in it the hairy eyeball until Scott would clean her ears out...every day! Afterwards, she insists on smelling the used Q-tips to make sure Dad did a good job. She checked out OK, so the vet gave her a small shot of depo-medrol in case it's allergies. By the next day the boogers were less, and she isn't making flat itchy ears anymore so hopefully that's that.

Now for some really exciting news.
**TMI ALERT**
We had a first here at the Lounge Friday night, I had the pleasure of removing not just a dingleberry, but an entire turd from a feline!
I know you want my life.
Here's the poop--Felix had assumed the wash-the-privates position in the doorway of Scott's office, licking and licking and licking. I passed by a few times, and finally noticed that he was licking at something. Now, Felix is a big time pee-pee washer; so my first inclination was to assume he was performing an extendo-clean, if you get my drift. Closer inspection proved that this was not the case--it was poop, so I went and got some toilet tissue and nabbed Felix to give him an assist--and much to my surprise it was stuck! Poor Felix, he got swooped up onto Scott's desk where he was held immobile by his Dad, and I firmly yanked gently removed the lodged log. And log it was--no wonder he yelled. I am gonna buy some petro-malt to lube up his train cars; as interesting as the whole thing was I don't know that I need a repeat performance.

So, do y'all think Sunday with Sheebie is a good idea? I think the Horde is relieved that the camera isn't out...
Happy Sunday!
