I had taken it on myself to try to reduce the dosage of Flovent (steroids) that he's taking and that combined with nasty thunderstorms last night apparently was just too much for his fragile lungs. I gave him a couple of puffs of Albuterol and he seems to be doing better tonight. I've gone back to two puffs of the Flovent twice daily at least until he sees the vet at the end of March. Purrs and gentle headbutts for Sabra as well as you. Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus Thank you, Julie. Hope Sam starts doing better soon, too.

Good luck Marina and if I can be of any help let me know. Send me your address (or do I have it from the holiday card list?) and I'll be happy to send you the infant mask/chamber to see if Nikki will accept it. If you have the holiday card list, you have my address. If you're absolutely sure you don't need the mask, and it isn't too expensive to send, I'd love to try it out. I suspect very much that Nikki won't accept it. She is *not* a laidback kind of cat. ;o) -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

I still can't drink a plain glass of milk. As a teenager and as an adult, I greatly enjoy milk. Apparently, I went through a phase at age 7 or 8 when I didn't. That period coincided with a visit to family who had a hotel and restaurant in Havana. As I keep having to remind the security clearance people, Castro was off in the mountains at the time. Anyway, La Rue 19 was a very nice restaurant, with excellent food and service. When the waiters realized that we were the family of the owners, we got especially good treatment. One of my mother's rules was that I had to finish my milk before I could have dessert. (cue Twilight Zone music) I kept thinking I'd finished my milk, look back, and it had refilled. "Drink your milk!" "I _did_!" WHOMP! "Stop lying!" But whatever I did, the enchanted milk glass wouldn't empty. I sloshed whenever I walked, and the slaps I got made me sound like a milkshake. Eventually, I hunched over the milk glass, protecting it with both hands and my face, ignoring the food. With the gentlest of touches, a waiter, trained never to let a guest's glance go empty, reached down and tried to pry my fingers loose. It was at least a moral victory when my mother realized what had happened. I suspect, however, I had drunk a quantity that would be respectable for a hungry calf. |

I still can't drink a plain glass of milk. I used to hate milk with a passion when I was a kid too. Luckily my mom also hated it so I wasn't forced to drink it. I think in the first 30 years of my life I might have consumed less than 2 liters of milk straight. For some reason I have lately started to love it! It has to be straight out of the carton from the fridge though. Unfortunately it does a number on my tummy and I can't have too much of it. Probably because my system isn't used to it from not having it for so long. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
