First: I hope that everyone is having a great New Year so far and may this year be even better than ever before.

Second: *Big sad worrisome SIGH* Good news and bad news here. The good news is that Moosh went to the vet on 12-29-11 to be neutered,have a lump removed from his throat,and to be vaccinated. Poor boy. That was a really traumatic experience for him and we all felt bad for him as he was quite depressed for about 5 days. His throat lump turned out to be some sort of cyst,so all is well with that. He had some big problems with the anaesthesia and he went totally ballistic on the clinic staff....so much so that when Mom returned later to pick him up,NONE of the staff wanted anything to do with him and they made Mom go back into the hospital room to get him. AND....since Moosh had two staples closing the incision on his throat,they sent Mom home with a staple remover so that she could remove the staples herself a week later.(which she did and Moosh was totally fine with it. He was really relaxed and didn't have any pain.)

As an added bonus,some of the rest of us are sick. The "Earmageddon" has returned with a nasty vengeance!! So now we all have to go through that whole routine of ear meds. and extra antibiotics. BLAH!

THEN...Mom discovered just exactly which ones of us had suddenly developed some nasty poo issues. Misky,Cole,Ethan,and I are now on meds. for that. All was well for three days or so and now poor lil Ethan started vomiting tonight like you wouldn't believe!!! Mom is pretty concerned and just downright sad about it. Ethan turns 17 yrs old on April 14th and as you can imagine...Ethan may have something very bad going on in her tummy. Mom probably won't get much sleep tonight so that she can stay close to Ethan and she will call the vet. first thing in the morning to get her checked over. It is really hard to watch one of our beloved friends be feeling so sick. I just might cry.( aw heck..I'm already leaking tears.) :(

Mom's also pretty sick still. She went to the Dr. this morning and had to do that whole I.V. therapy stuff AGAIN and get some new meds. herself too. However,she's so dedicated to us fur babies that she always puts her illness aside and provides for us so very well.

So...my friends...I ask you all to once again pray for those of us that are ill. We sure could use all of the help that we can get and we appreciate and love you all.

Lovingly,
Jack
