Month In Review

November - overall - a fairly quiet month for the critters which is just fine with us as October was so stressful.  We are about a month out from Zoey's major illness.  So far so good.  I worry about her every day - not sure we are doing the right things by sparing her the surgery - most days I think we are but sometimes I question.  She seems very happy, active and all in all pretty stable.  She has adjusted well to her dietary changes and to her supplement that she gets every day that is supposed to help in slowing the growth of tumors.

Phoebe is doing well.  She is so stressed when we have the pet sitter come - she hides.  Luckily I was able to find her on the cameras.  Oliver is his regular ornery self - a lovely sweet boy who likes to cause trouble.  Aggie got over whatever made her ill right before we left for the lake and she seems to be doing great.

Emma had fun at the lake.  She struggles with the new canned dog food - she absolutely loves it but it really does not agree with her at all.  She is more tolerant of the camera these days.  I will say her new naughty thing of putting her front feet on the table and getting the wet cat food from the table is something I could do without.

The little boys are well - trip to the lake seemed to make them closer to friends.  Nigel is still just a go with the flow critter.  Clooney seems to be doing well and is full of his regular antics.

I am thankful for my babies - worried that Zoey is not okay and may not be with me for as long as I would like (forever) so I am trying to enjoy every day with her and my other furries.  You just never know.  I am hopeful she will be one of those who beats the odds - surprises us all with her spunk.  Seems like you can't be bitchy kitty for so many years without having a major fighter inside....
