Tubby is feeling soooo much better

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Just wanted to let you all know that Tubby is more than 100% recovered! I don't think he has felt this good in a long time! He is so much more alert, active, curious.....and hungry....than I have seen him in a looong time! I can't believe it and everyday I'm amazed at how much better he is. If you would have told me two weeks ago that he would make a recovery like this, I would never have believed you. I'm so happy to have my big boy back again though, and I can't even bring myself to yell at him when he starts licking on Peanut now. :rolleyes: ;) :D

So to celebrate how good he feels, I took a few pics. Here he is in the garage. When he was sick he didn't even give the garage a second glance. Now he is back to sitting by the door, just waiting for us to open it so he can go out.

Here he is being totally adorable with his little legs all curled up as he sleeps.

Here he was sitting in the sun and even though it's not the best pic of him, it's kind of weird looking because the sun is so bright, it looks like he's floating - or almost like I cut and pasted him into the pic.

And finally, here's a glamour shot for his Samantha Sweety.

And here's a little video of him bumping and getting butt pats in the garage. He just loves this and I swear he'd do it all night if I could sit there that long. Oh, and if you turn your sound up a little, you can hear the little mrrt in his throat in the beginning of the video. :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks so much everybody. Like I say, he continues to amaze me everyday with things he hasn't done in a long time.

This morning was a "fluid" day and I'm beginning to think he really doesn't need them. I put him on the table and he immediately got up and tried to jump down. I laid him back down again and tried to hold him with one hand while I put the needle on the IV thingy. Got that accomplished, and got the needle in, but he was sooo restless. Kept moving and trying to stand up. I'm trying to hold him down and keep the needle steady. Then finally he stood up and the needle fell out and fluid is going all over the place and I'm trying to hold him and turn the fluid off and he got out of my hands and jumped down and that was the end of that! :rolleyes: I had gotten 100 whatevers in him out of the 150 whatevers that he's supposed to get, so I just let him go. I didn't want to poke him again for just 50 (I don't know, are they milliliters or cc's or what?) So he is definitely feeling much, much better, and he is drinking all the time so I know he's getting plenty of fluids. Guess I'm going to have to make sure to have Terry help me from now on. Between the two of us we should be able to keep Tubby down, and if two of us can't do it, I guess he doesn't need them that bad. ;) :rolleyes: :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oops, and forgot to say, QSA, I've always wondered if he had some meezer in him because he's such a talker. I call him a complainer. ;)

And yes, Gary, he loves your toy! He has never looked more than once at any type of catnip mouse or toy - except for the infamous Canadian Catnip mouse. He doesn't bat it around and play with it like Peanut does, but he always has to go over to it and start rubbing his face on it and lay on it. :D

[slick]

So glad to hear the the Tubster continues to improve.:) Please give him some kisses from me.

YAY!! So great to see Tubby up and about. :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Way to go, Tubster!!!!!!

The cats are doing a happy dance in your honor.
Heck, I may even shake my old bum too! YIPEEEEE!!!!
:D

[catfamily]

My 16 year old BooBoo has part meezer in him and he talk talks talks too.:D
I think they resemble each other too.

Oh Tubby, this is wonderful news! :D Alert, curious and hungry .... what could we want more! Aren't you a lucky boy, with your mommy's good care. :)

Debbie, I can't tell you how happy I am for Tubby - and for you and Terry - you have your old boy back! :)

Tubby, I had to wait to show the video until Fister sat in front of the screen, and I tell you, he was giving you headbumpies. :p

We're sending kisses and scritchies, and hope you keep improving!

They do look alike! Even down to the way they sit! Tubby always sits with his back legs stretched out like that. :D

Randi, that is soooo sweet that Fister gave Tubby head bumpies! Awww.... :D :D

I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this thread.
Now I know why Samantha has been whining at me constantly.;)
She said I had to take a look at how wonderful Tubby is feeling and looking as good as, or even better than ever before!:D
I love the video too, he is just so cute.
I guess I'd better post a couple of photos of Samantha now for her sweet, handsome and healthy Tubby love.;)
