Pets, scritches and purrs deserved for Daisy-chan!
All give a bow (or a bow wow with a wag) to Daisy-chan. Here's why.
I hurt my neck again (long story made short, DDD with 4 herniations, 2 in neck). I've been in pain the last 6 days. Daisy-chan, my once high semi-feral has gone totally lap kitty. It helps alot. She loves to sleep right between my legs perched up on my belly and purr. (Ontop of the blanket, not getting kinky here! Grin!). Anyways, 24 hours ago we took in our second rescue dog. (Those in RPD.Behavior will have the fuller story on Sammy). Now as amazing as I think dogs and cats are, especially when they get along, this one is unique. With her long standing buddy Cash-pup in the bedroom, and me in the livingroom (sofa best for my back/neck), and Sammy on his blanki (not crated) in the livingroom, I expected to be cat free for the night. Nope. NOTHING, not even a new dog in the house was gonna stop her from her self appointed care of her Meowmie! In she sailed with tail high, sniffing at the new dog's general direction then hopped right up and settled in for the night. It was a sort of 'love my meowmie, love me' moment. I'm proud of her. |

Aw, what a brave, GOOD girl to be there for her meow-my. She certainly does
deserve some reward for both her bravery and dedication to you (shrimpies, maybe?). Mega healing purrs on the way for your neck to get better really quickly and give you no trouble in the future. *FOUR* herniations? My gawd Carol, why are you not in traction???! I'm sure I don't have to tell *you* this, but don't let anyone with a scalpel anywhere near you unless you can get rid of the pain no other way on earth. If you do *have* to resort to surgery, I would suggest getting the surgeon to give you a list of people who would be willing to contact you to let you know how they were treated and if they got any relief or any extra pain after the surgery. Anyway, as good a researcher as you are I'm sure you'll dig up every fact that can be found before making that decision. -- Hugs, CatNipped See our clowder at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "cshenk" wrote in message ...

He's enjoying the 'pet sofa' right now behind me. Cash climbed up (there's a box as a step to make it easier) then Sammy came over and sniffed so Cash moved over. They are laying there snoring with heads on opposite ends, feets and tails tangled in the middle. Sammy's as calm as a Georgia pond at midnight. I'm thinking he's enyoying Cash's calm friendlyness and being away from the rambunctious lab at the fosters. |

Aw, that's absolutely amazing that *any* new pet could so effortlessly blend
in to an established clowder - much less a d*g! Purrs coming for continued calm in the household. -- Hugs, CatNipped See our clowder at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "cshenk" wrote in message ...

God gawds, he really *is* a good doc - most surgeons whip out their scalpels
before you're out of the door on your first visit!! Mine was supposedly really good - he has pictures of himself working with NASA scientists on the effects of microgravity on the human body. But he still didn't know the difference between C6 - C7 and C4 - C5 (or possibly C5 - C6, I can't remember just now and I'm too lazy to go look it up). The latter are the ones that radiate pain down to the ring finger which is where my pain is. So not only did I get unnecessary surgery, sugary that a magnified my RSD pain by about 1,000, but he did it on the totally wrong spot!!! Now that I know where the pain is coming from, it's too late to do anything except make it worse - I won't have another spinal surgery no matter how tempted I am or how low I get from the pain. Like the pain pills, I handed that to Ben to keep from me ;!! Mega healing purrs still coming - I hope it really is an early recovery for you. -- Hugs, CatNipped See our clowder at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "cshenk" wrote in message ...

ARGH! I need to get either a new spell-checker or new glasses so I can see
the "suggestions" for typos - that should have been surgery, *not* sugary.
