Well, the boss left for the day so I thought I'd post a quick update. Everything is much calmer around our house these days, and Peanut's hair is growing back on her tummy and her legs. We have a pet sitter come in while we're away, and she made sure to give Peanut her allergy pills everyday as prescribed, and I would say that it seems to be working! The pet sitter also brushes them more than I do to give them attention, and between the allergy pills working, and the brushing, Peanut is so nice and soft and fluffy, and still the little sweetheart she's always been. Tubby has, for the most part, stopped sniffing at her, but I did notice him up on the top of the couch with her last night, real near to her, and he had that guilty look on his face so I don't know if he was sniffing her or licking her. Either way she didn't seem to mind so I let Tubby be.

Terry has also seen a strange black and white cat in the back yard since we've been back, so maybe that's who was coming around and causing some of the stress. I put paper over the windows at night so my two can't see out, and I take some of it down during the day so they don't get too bored.

So I'm glad to report that life in Tubby and Peanut land is getting back to normal and it would be nice if life in Debbie land would get that way too. To make a long story short, we are a small electrical contractor with 6 guys, my boss and me. Our lead foreman was on vacation last week, I was on vacation for most of the week, our second foreman found out he has cancer and has to go for chemo and radiation so he only works when he's feeling ok, and to top it all off, my boss ran over his foot and is hobbling around on crutches! All this while our two biggest jobs are really ramping up and everything would be hectic without the added vacations, illnesses and injuries.

So I want to say thanks to everyone for all your suggestions and support on the Tubby and Peanut situation, and I might be a bit scarce for awhile, but I'll pop in as often as possible. I'll give Tubby and Peanut extra hugs, smoochies and scritchies from you all tonight, just because it's good to be back!
