Goodbye Oreo...R.I.P.

 

We did our best for you, we know Who's hands you are in. Look for MorMor, she loves cats, and say 'Hi' to Tess.

A Sunday Blessing!

 

We were so blessed to have PaTha and his family, most of them anyway, come for a bar-b-que after church today. We had a great visit and great food,thanks to Andy's bar-b-quing,.
What a blessing and challenge this family is to us. They are immigrants from Burma, first spending many many years in a refugee camp in Thailand.

Look what's become of me!

 

 

 

Evidently, I got an eye infection from my dad! After one week with three visits to the vet it has gone from bad to worse, including a respiratory problem. So now I can't see and I can't smell; but I hear (yes I can still hear...so far)that I will get better. I am getting so much attention! My owner puts hot compresses on my eyes and two different kinds of meds on them every 6 hours...yes even at night! Then there's two oral meds I get at different times too. I am relegated to the bathroom where I stay in my kennel even though the door is open,(remember I can't see or smell too good) and many times a day steam is created from the shower running to help my breathing. I'll never doubt my owner's love cause I hear (remember I can still hear)she's mortgaged the farm to care for me AND I heard her praying for me in the middle of the night! My last vet loves me and even called today (SUN) to see how I was doing. (I did not like whatever she did at my tail end to take my temp though! YIKES what kind of world do I live in!) Remember, please,though I look like 'Devil Cat' now, hopefully I'll return to my 'cute' self soon.
BTW I'm only infectious to other cats!

Aren't I cute?

 

 

 

 

This cat has had a ton of loving in one week!

Who's this taking on a lion?

 

Meet 'Oreo'!

 

OK, the last thing the Paterson's need is another animal...but Heather had these barn kittens needing homes....the rest is, as they say, history....I did say no at first though!
He weighs 1 pound! Is only as tall as a blade of grass! Is VERY noisey! But Oh so cute and Sierra is doing a great job of transitioning him from barn cat to well behaved house kitten! Right now he is admiring himself in my mirror.

A day in the life of....

 

 

 

 

He spent the day exploring.....

..constantly wandering away

 

...following Sierra everywhere

 

and sharing blankets and food

 

Uncle Peter

 

 

Uncle Peter stepped up to babysit all three of Sara & John's kids, including 5 month old Cassendra, while the parents went to the Stampede. When Andy and I got home, this is what we saw! he is GREAT with kids.

Shoe Day

 

 

 

Just had to put up another picture of Silky ... she had her feet done for the last time today. She always has such good feet!

Our morning

 

 

 

 

Either we walk/ or cram into a car..this morning it was Amy's..to get the horses.
Sierra ran down the field to chase them up to us. Then of course she is stuck there!

Silky's 'happy' face!

 

Happiness is people who love me! OK I can not tell a lie....she is making the face over a ginger snap cookies Manda fed her....(what a waste of a good cookie!)

What's Up? ... Sara!

 

 

 

Sara has been training Caballer. He is 9 but has only been worked with a little bit. So basically Sara is training from the ground up. Today (maybe a tad ahead of schedule) she got up on Cabby...barefoot and all!

Bath Day while Caballer just looks on!

 

 

"Up as far as possible...down as far as possible...

 

 

 

 

Bath day in the back yard. The horses weren't too crazy about the noise the hose made....but they did well. We did not wash Caballero as he is still getting used to...well...everything!"
