She'll be feeling what we call "puny" here in the south. :0) I had no idea "puny" was a Southern thing! I said that to someone around here (MA/NH border region) and they had no clue what I was talking about. Then again, I never thought of Maryland (where I'm from) as being the South. Never knew I had an accent, either. -- I grew up in Maryland and yet never heard "puny" used for "sickly" until I moved to North Carolina--but I lived mostly in the city-- I think the rural places in MD might be more southern. I believe Cheryl is also from Maryland. None of my family is from the south, but we have used the term "puny". We read a lot though. Maybe we picked it up from books. I could be wrong! It could be one of those ASSumptions, you know? |

The vet will probably tell you to keep her quiet for a few days, but if she feels fine, this may prove difficult to do. ;-) Check on the incision now & again; it'll probably heal just fine, but you'd wasn't to know if it doesn't, in order to get her back to the vet's. Cathy Millie's back and she's lying quietly a few steps away from me as I try and type quitely. She's very groggy - scared the daylights out of me when she got out of the carrier (it appeared she'd been sitting in it for awhile which concerned me a little). She staggered around and appeared to not be able to use her hind legs. She managed to stand up about 20mins later and tried to use the litter box but couldn't get over the lip, bless her little heart. Apparently she raised hell at the vet's - she was marked with a triple caution sign and was hissing at everything. Once she was with me though she was quiet. Once again, thanks for all the advice and hand-holding through this. I have some pics of her that I'll try to post to the pics ng later. Take care, DC and Millie |

Don't post pics to the ng though. Do you have access to alt.binaries.pictures.animals? that would be a good place and let us know. Or start a free photo album like yahoo. I have one and it is easy. photos.yahoo.com/kchuplis |
