This pup is too pooped to party

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COSMO!

11 years old and still keeping up with her 3-year-old sister...when she's not recovering from knee surgery, that is.

We spent the day celebrating my mom's birthday out of town and this lucky pup got to go with us. She was all done in by the time we got home.

Food Fight

Cali is a fat cat. Pictures don't really do her justice.

There wasn't a lot we could do about it while we were trying to keep weight on Mike Wazowski without driving us all up a wall. Around the time Mike passed, we learned that PeeWee's kidney disease had progressed and he needed to start eating K/D food. Which is higher in calories. Which is exactly the opposite of what Cali needs.

Call me, maybe...

I'm not usually very thrilled when my phone rings. I just expect it to be bad news. Otherwise I'd just get a text, yeah?

Well, I was very happy to get the call when my phone rang a few minutes ago. Our 2016 Boo Buddy, Farley, was getting adopted! She said the family had just been holding and loving on him and he was going to a great home (of course!). Hooray!

The Return of the Airplane Ear

Cosmo is finally e-collar free!

She got her stitches out yesterday. Doc said the incision healed very well and that everything inside the knee feels "wonderful." I like that word. Wonderful.

Oh, and we confirmed that the shaved patch on her back was for the epidural. Mystery solved!
