Health Update II

 Well, all in all I'm not doing too bad for a 17 year old gal.  Bloodwork looks good, got my teeth cleaned, kidneys are doing okay and ears just needed a little housekeeping.  I do have some arthritis, but hey, at my age, you know?  About the worst thing was having to have 3 chompers extracted.  This, of course, besides the one canine I lost a while ago. One of the two pain meds they prescribed tasted like butt, and I just couldn't stomach it.  The other is much more tolerable, but makes me a little spacey.  The good thing about all this is that I get canned stinky goodness ALL the time now, though I know it won't last.  I received a sweet package from the Tooth Fairy aka Ellen Pilch, and I now have a new favorite lounging place. 


I've always enjoyed our welcome mat by the front door,

but among the treats was a fabulous 'nip-filled blanket, and I spend countless hours on that, rubbing my face, bunching it up in my paws and, well, sleeping. 

Thank you, Ellen Tooth Fairy from the bottom of my, mom's and dad's hearts for your thoughtfulness. 

A big shout out as well to Dr. Wagner and all the wonderful ladies at Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital right down the road in Asheville.  I couldn't have been in better hands, and they let mom and dad know how I did just as soon as I woke up.  They kept me til the end of the day, just to make sure all was good before letting me go home.

Oh, and so y'all know, I didn't get to chew on those toys but for a second before mom and dad put them out of reach until my mouth heals.

Cleo, you'll feel better soon, and it's good to read that you are doing well in all of those other areas.
Hope you get stinky wet food forever!

Well, Cleo, you certainly went through a lot. Sorry to hear so many
teeth came out and of course the yucky meds. But you get some food
you like and a wonderful get well gift. Glad to see you on the new
nippy mat and the toys will be a welcome bit of fun in a week or 2
when all is healed properly.

Oh, sweetie Cleo, you ARE doing well and we're happy for you, so keep up the good work ...
we think we're purr-ably the same age (you, the kitty and me the human) with toofs issue
and arthritis and all the stuff that comes with bein' seniors ... but we just keep putting one paw in front of t'other and swishing our tails and doing our best each day! OK? OK!
(and Ms Ellen is such a dear lady to send you comfy gifts ... rest and relax now)
