Default Off on vacation, again

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and hoping that the new year brings all
kinds a great opportunities for all!

Dust had a very fun Christmas morning. He got a fancy-pants sisal, sparkly
catnip ball from his grammy and we gave him the crinkly, catnip filled, Velcro
textured firefly. He played with the stuff all morning. Got a few pics. I can
even brush him with the firefly, that's how Velcro-ee it is! LOL. He went from
normal to goobed to darn right stoned.

gecko)

We are leaving for a holiday trip tomorrow. Going where it's COLD, woo hoo!
Snow and everything. Instead of having Grammy come by and feed and pill him
once a day I decided to board Dusty at his vet. TED has 6 big, I call them
"double-wide", cages that she uses for boarding cats. He has so much room I am
bringing his blankie and favorite purple chenille pillow to put in the cage.
Even though I have never boarded him before I feel better knowing he will be at
TED's in case something happens. It's an all cat facility and it's open from
7am to 7pm. So there will always be people and noises around. They can make
sure he gets his meds and TED can check his heartbeat and see how he is doing on
a daily basis. They are so nice there. It's a free standing building and there
is only one vet. It's her practice and building. Everytime I have been there
have been at least 7 to 8 vet tech's milling around. They said I can call
everyday if I want to see how he is doing. I, and my daughter (and DH even
though he wouldn't admit it), of course will miss him to pieces. And since his
health has been funky lately I have piece of mind having him there.

I met the other office cat the last time I was in picking up Dusty's meds. His
name is Bob. He is just beautiful. TED told me that someone had left him on
her doorstep in a cage and he had a rubberband around his tail. His tail had
not had circulation to it and had to be amputated. So now he has a bobbed tail,
thus the name Bob. He owns the office just like Mavis the other office cat.
They just go everywhere and anywhere they please. I received the pleasure of
Bob's butt in my face while I tried to sign my credit card slip. Those two cats
just rule the roost over there!

Dusty's eye looks great. Just a teeny bit of cloudiness now left just at the
top of the iris. He has plumped up quite a bit and is much, much more active.
He is even sleeping with us on the bed again and we are honored. I know Dusty
will be well cared for. We will be back on New Years Day so he will only be
there 5 days. Hope everyone's kitty got just what they wanted for Catmas! Take
care everyone and I hope I don't freeze my buttocks off to badly.

TJ

Dusty looks adorable as always! I am so glad his eye is so much better. I am
too late to wish you a great trip, so I am wishing you lots of good times on
your holiday. Have fun!
Best wishes,
