Boots, the Kat, Visits the Vet...

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that you're doing much better Boots. Now if you can only get the cone taken off your head. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted.

[Rachel]

I probably should address this to our girl, Cinders, since she is home Kat sitting with Boots while Smokey The Dog and Dad are off to see the G-Mom. Cinders you really started something way back when you used to get on the computer. Now all the furkids are getting quite puter literate . I'm so happy your little Booter Buddy is feeling good enough to do all that cone manuevering. Sounds as if he wants to be involved in all his normal activities. I too hope he gets the cone off soon so he can do his appointed rounds. Poor Booter has had a hard time of it lately. Here's wishing the whole fam damily has some good luck for a change.

Bootz! You're headin' in the right direction now - just need to get that thingy off your sweet little head, so you can give your dad a big headbumpie!! Hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell of the kliner chair!

Thanks for pawing us an update, Smokey! We're so happy that the worst is over!! You're bound to have some good luck from now on - all of you!!

Boots, you are doing such a good job of getting better! And that cone thing, well here's a pic of Miley, a friend in the same cone headed situation. She has a skin problem and not a plumbing problem. Her cone allows her to go just about anywhere. Maybe she just has a higher level of spacial abilities!

Great news Boots. I hope you are all better soon. I love reading your stories each day!

Love,

From Gabe, Miley and Graemer


Aren't I cute in my Ecollar?

Thanks for the uppeydate Smokey. Sounds to me like Boots is trying to get caught up on everything that he's missed since he's been locked in that darn baffroom. And it sounds like he's doin' real good so hopefully that dern kone thingy will come off real soon.

And tell Boots we're sorry for laughin' at all his trouble with that kone, but we know he wasn't hurt at all in his falls and misses, and the mental image of him landing on his poor little head then doing that backwards summersault was just too much. Good thing your dad wasn't takn' a nap at the time or he would've wondered what all the todo was about.

Boots, boy. I'm just wonderin' how ya donin'? Still drinking tuna water? Still a cone head? Hope you didn't get a headache from your adventures the other day. Plumbing still working? Hope you are feeling lots better now.

Hi Ebberbuddie ~ Cinnerz & SmudgePot here ~

Checkin in fur Boots, the Kat...

He'z doin purdy OK rite now - mostly peein inna sandy box (Dad gibed it back to him Friday nite kuz he dint like doin #2 onna papurz). He'z still gotz papurs inna old skratch box inna tubby, too - kase he feels like a papur job .

All us FurKidz is a lil ~ Seemz Dad's Fire beeper went Beep, beep, BEEP!! Munday mornin an he jumped outta bed an dashed off to a BIG fire in Towne... Nunbuddie gotz an *outie*, Kat dint get no Mornin Medz, WE dint get no brunch... Day kinda sukk'd.

Dad kum'd home bout 4 a-klok ta feed an wadder us - then went rite back to da fire... Gone agin till mid-nite. Stunk like fire when he finally gotz home. Kicked Kat outta the fallin wadder klozet an played inna kleen wadder a long tyme - still wuz a lil *stinkey* when he got dun.

Tuday wuz more a the same - up urlie ta meet da Fire Guy frumma "State" an do sum Vestigatin. We jest took a load a fire pix to Wally's Place an are waitin fur the quickie photoz ta getz dun.

Tumorrow gonna be s-l-o-w, too - Dad anna State Guy gotta do sum Innerviewz inna afternoon. Check in then - IF - we get outta the Ranch at all...

Boots tell'd us ~ frum unner the baffroom door ~
that he missez the dailey ridez to da Shop wiff us...

Walley jest called - pix are dun - gotta run...

[Freckles]

Figured your Dad has to work once in a while, or the kar went on the fritz again.
Anyway, Phred, how about an update on Bootz? Sounds like maybe the kone might be gone soon? Does Bootz still need spiked water? Which flavor?

Hope your fire season is more controlable than that in Oregon now.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey guys

Thanks for the uppeydate. Sounds like Boots is doing ok if he is getting particular about which box he uses. I'm just glad Boots is to the point he's at now 'cause had your dad been busy with the fire a few weeks ago the Boots Man might have had a different tale to tell. I'm sure your dad will be back on his regular schedule once all the fire stuff dies down a bit, be sure and give him some....(whatever you doggiez call it when you stick your noses into hands looking for pets, in kittyland head bumpies are a close equivalent). Hopefully he'll be back soon and Boots will get his kone off and be paroled from the baffroom again.

[KittenCloudSprinkles]

Boots sorry it took so long for your Daddy to notice something was wrong. Hope you are feeling MUCH better

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just wonderin' how Boots is doin'? Still a cone-head? Still drinkin' tuna water? Still peein? and poopin'? Still in the bathroom? Has his zipper healed up? Don't you wish I would stop with the questions?

Hi, Ebberbuddie ~ Boots, da Kat sayin Howdee ~

Woe is me... Dad sez I'z havin a lil set-back ~
Wuz doin great - outta jail whenebber the guyz wuz home - loose inna howze all nite - peein purdy gud in wunna the boxes (I'z been alternatin tween the sandy wun anna papur wun) -an aktin kinda *chipper*.

An ketch THIS!
Last nite I wuz grabbin sum Zzzzz's onna fireplace hearth; so Dad openz the big frunt door fur more air. Dawgs gotz fed anna outie. Dad karashez inna kliner an noddz off. I wakez up an wanderz ober towardz the door ~ HEY! Door'z open - an Dad'z not sittin in it blockin the way... Wunder whut'z out there?

*OUT* I goez!

SmudgePot jumpz up an runz ober to Dad -
Hey Dad! Kat'z lookin out the DOOR! Better grab em!

Dad'z makin a lotta raket wiffa noze an dont hear the lil TattelTail.

Kinda *SPOOKIE* an *dark* out there! Made it offa porch an thru the weed gardun out to the weedz they kall grass... Nunbuddie knowez how long I wuz out there when Dad woked up bout sun-up. Dawgz are sleepin on hiz feetz hangin down offa kliner chair.

Dad axkz "Where'za KAT?" Slam'za frunt door an duz a howze search = NO Kat! OMG! Panik!

He ripz open frunt door an hollerz "Hay KoneHed - ya out here?"

I gibz him a reel friendlie *ChiIIRRp* frumma weed gardun an turnz so the yard lite shinez onna kone... Whudda HOOT!

Dad'z wearin his not much shortiez an NUFFIN else!
Tries to cum downna steps but members he gotz nuffin onna feetz. Getz his fuzzy slipperz on an jumpz inna gardun patch - but by then I wuz strollin downna bank towardz the drive. Ebberbuddie'z out lookin - durn Dawgz gibed me away - spotted me onna driveway.

Dad hotfootz it cross the yard in hiz not much shortiez an slipperz an makez da *GRAB*.
NUTZ! Furst time onna outie an it'z ober alreddy! Back inna howze...

They all jump'd onna BigBed an I *pouted* onna bunkroom floor... Till Dad herd me doin sum SEER-euz skratchin inna sandy box. He getz up an checkz on me - skratchin, squattin, an GRrrrrin inna box ~ Nuffin happenin - AGIN!

I wuz runnin back-n-forth tween the sandy anna papur boxes - jest a kupla lil *dribbelz* anna lotta *GROWlin* = Uhhh-Oohhhh...

Off we all goez to the Fire Station (Dad hadda pick up sum Big Fire papurz). I'z pantin lika dawggie when he cumz out in a kupla minitz. IN we all goze fur sum wadder (he had that durn sqwirt gun syringe in hiz poket!) anna gulp a kold air inna offis - it'z got a kold air box...
He brinz in my papur box - I jumpz in an duz a reeley HuMUNgus *PEE* onna papurz - but it'z got a lil red stuff mixed in... Dad grabz a baggie an pourz the pee in da baggie an stuffz it inna fridge. Callz Doc Lisa's Place an I hear em plottin ta drag me in fur a check-out...

Dash to da Shop to dump the Dawgz an anudder 3 sqwitz a wadder inta me. Onna road fur 5 minitz an I duz a pee an dumpz a load a *stinkey*, too!

Made the mistake of doin a lil *pantin* onna way ober... In we go wiffa sampelz an whut'z he do? Wuntz a kuppa wadder! Rite inna waitin room I getz tossed onna chair an anudder 4 sqwirtz a wadder!
GOTTA stop wiffa pantin!

Gotta phizikal frumma nudder White Coat (bladdur tank wuz nice an em-tee!) when Doc Lisa showz up - seemz they lost a kupla offis stafferz an she'z in on vacation helpin out! BOFF of em are talkin bout me an lookin at my zipper. Docz say the zipp'z healin so gud they dont wanna pull the zip stringz - they'z the dizolvin kind ennieway.
Pee an poop testz looked GUD! No kristallz but a lil hi onna pH anna blud ... "Normal" wiffa bladdur infekshun, sez Doc Lisa.

Why the big no-pee krisis??
Figger they shudint otta have quit wiffa biotik pillz eben tho I'z been on em fur bout 3 weekz. Wound up wiffa nudder 10 dayz a biotikz (lil lower dose this tyme) an ANUDDER pill - *steeroidz* they sed. Gotta take FOUR differunt pillz ebery day fur a while! (Dad LUVz shootin pillz wiffa pill popper gun! )

Doc Lisa sed sum katz - an ebberbuddie'z lookin at ME! - jest have a hard tyme gettin rid of bladdur infekshunz. I must be wunna the Sum Kat krowd...

Gotta gib Dad a pee sampul in 9 dayz (that'll be a phunn event!) to take to Doc Mike fur a test - if my pH is gud an ther'z nuffin else swimmin inna pee - I getz an extree 10 dayz onna biotik pills to make sure I stayz kleen. Then they'll start takin away the Dopey pillz anna *steeriodz*, too.

Meentime Dad sez I gotta enroll inna drug programme...

Lookz like I'z gonna keep the kone thingy fur a while - Guy Doc sez it'll keep me frum playin wiffa plummin... An Dad got ordurz ta keep sqwirtin wadder inta me till *I* start gulpin a lot by muself an get back to a regelur pee cycle. NUTZ!

An I s'ppoze I'll be spendin summore tyme inna baffroom jail ... Dad'z gonna gimmie a *kushun* sumwhere inna baffroom to uze fur a lay-me-down pad so'z I don't get ennie papur sorez or pee-burnz frum layin inna papur pee box.

Gotta run ~ Dad'z loadin up hiz durn wadder gun agin!

TANKz SOOOO MUCH fur allua letterz an get-well wishuz an Prayerz all you FurKidz an Hoominz been sendin my way! They're a Big Help to Dad an me while we fight my *problemz*. Meenz a LOT to us!

NEWS FLASH!!!!

SHORTAGE OF MACARONI AND CHEESE AND TUNA IN WATER REPORTED IN OHIO. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN, BUT BEING INVESTIGATED!!

Boots, we are still pulling for you with prayers. I am really sorry to hear that you have more pillz to take - but since you turned out to be one of the Sum Katz - guess we need to keep up the meds.

One of you guys (Cinder? Smoke?) are going to have to learn how to use a video camera so we can catch Dad running around lookin for the Bootz guy.
