I just noticed I have three girls in the house! (Well 4 if you count Minette locked in her own tower)
Boy, Abby has matured a lot lately. I had to weigh her today to determine how much Albon to give her... and was SHOCKED - she's 10 pounds! I weighed her 5 more times just to make sure. Her new name is officialy pudge.

The lady from the rescue dropped off the Albon today and saw Flutter and noticed the same thing I've been noticing lately: the leg is throwing her weight off and making her hip swing out at weird angles. She's having a bit more difficulty walking now than she did before. Not that she's having problems getting around Just that its a lot more awkward looking. She's also starting to enter that long & leggy stage which only accentuates the problem. I'm thinking the vets were right when they said "no surgery yet, but lets see what happens when she gets bigger. Lets see what the weight does to her balance."
Here she is with Angeleyes in the background (don't know why, but I LOVE this pic!)

Here's a bright-eyed Angeleyes. Gosh she looks so alert -- I never thought I'd be this amazed to see her looking like this! :D
