    Just thought I'd give you another update on my green-eyed lady Pidgelet. She's doing fabulous, dahling! I had workers here all day yesterday (they're coming back again today, ugh) and that meant I had to keep the Fur Posse confined to the basement so that they wouldn't dart out the door. The workers needed to keep the door to the garage open so that they could easily go back and forth. Pidge stays upstairs most of the time anyhow but, of course, yesterday she wanted to see what the commotion was all about, so she came downstairs. She kept getting in the way, so she went to the basement door and I thought "Why not let her down there w/everybody?" I checked on her a little later and she was able to jump up on my work table which is approximately 4 ft. off the floor. She made it w/no problem. A couple of weeks ago she was so weak that she couldn't get up on the sofa w/out help. She's just really feeling good, I can tell, and she snuggles in w/me in bed at night, too, something she never wanted to do before. She's never craved any kind of attention and always shyed away from it, actually. I'm just so happy w/how the meds are working for her and I knew that all my PT family would be, too.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Oh Mary, I'm so happy.

    I was so worried as I'm sure you were. My prays are still being sent your way for added comfort.

    I'm so glad that she is doing better. That's just so wonderful to hear.

    Actually, Boober is acting very aloof. (I call him Boober when he's being "male". LOL) He won't sleep w/us and I don't want her to sleep downstairs because I feel the need to check on her during the night and don't want to wake everyone else up. He could stop being a brat and sleep w/us but he won't. He's such a handsome boy, though, that we forgive him.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    She just scared the pie outa me! I went to vote and the workers were here doing their thing. I had all the Fur Posse in the basement except Pidge, or so I thought. I came home, went upstairs immediately to check on her and couldn't find her! I panicked because I put the baby gate up to keep her upstairs so that she wouldn't roam downstairs while I was gone. I looked everywhere, under beds, even in the third bedroom which is always closed. No Pidge. Then I turned and looked down the stairs and there she was looking up at me. That little 18 1/2 year old tortie managed to jump the baby gate! This just took a couple of years off my life. I had visions of her getting outdoors and the workers being so busy that they didn't notice. Good grief! Well, at least that tells me how well she's doing. Be still my beating heart.
    Blessings,
    Mary
