Life in the slow lane

A lot has happened

Well, since the last time I wrote anything, a lot has happened in our lives. Mom got us a stroller, and it is a lot of fun to be in it in the park. I hate the ride to and from the park, but once we are in the park, I like it a lot. There are a lot of interesting smells and sites to see. Mom hasn't taken us for a ride in a while - since the southern California fires. She said there was too much smoke in the air then, and hasn't had a chance since.

She left my brothers and I for a long time. We didn't even have our dog with us. She took her away too. Usually when she leaves us, at least our Papa is at home, but Papa was gone too. When she got back from deserting us, she hauled my brother and I off to see the V-E-T. She said I had lost too much weight recently (from 11 lbs to 8). I am not sure what they said, but I now get poked twice a day when I am eating (mom here, he was diagnosed on Friday with diabetes). I don't really feel the pokes too much - It just makes my skin twitch a little. I do seem to be feeling better tho. I think that is all that has happened recently. Chat again soon.

Hello Again

Wow did I get a good treat tonight - mom will often share dinner with me if she has little bits that I can eat. Tonight she had Yoshinoya and I got a couple of tiny pieces of the beef - yummy!!!! She offered some to my brother, but he doesn't like people food all that much. My sister (the dog) got to finish the rest of the rice. I got ham the other day too - Tavi only ate a couple of small pieces, so I got the rest of his share too. Cody doesn't usually eat people food - mostly because he is too afraid to come up to mom to get his share. When he does get brave enough, he loves it, it just takes a lot more coaxing than mom is usually willing to give (she says her arm gives out before he gets brave).

Mom will be home with us from work for another 3 weeks and I plan on doing a lot of cuddling with her.

Hopefully it won't be as long the next time.

Outside!

Well, if you read my brother's diary too, you would see that mom got us a harness and a leash so we can safely go outside. Mom tells me I am more adventurous than my brother. I actually decided to do a bit of exploring. In our yard, I pretty much just sat in the grass looking around, but she took me down the street a bit, and I decided I really liked sniffing around down there. It was a lot of fun to explore.

In other news, mom feels like I have lost some weight, so I am getting a special treat. I get a whole jar of chicken or turkey babyfood. It is so yummy. I must confess, I tend to be a little bit of a piggy because I drip food onto her bed, her hand, the remote control, whatever happens to be in my way when I am getting my treat. Mom feeds me in bed so that my brothers don't hog it all. It is my special treat. She will let the others have a couple of licks too, but it mostly all mine.

Cheers, Tiki
