Turtle has been in complete charge of my exercise plan after this gruesome surgery. She's my coach and motivational "speaker. I can tell she knows I'm better because she's increased the level of my activity!! We went from me flat out in the bed waving her feather on a stick toy in the...

..for a change??? Well, in the middle of all the trauma of almost losing my electricity I forgot to tell everyone about my doctor's appointment on Saturday. The doc gave me straight A's in my recovery!!!! I'm doing a wonderful job on my diet and my other little lonely kidney is healthy and...

\and then let me drown in it!!    (not really) I'm getting my power shut off in a couple hours. Unfortunately I haven't been able to pay my bill in a few months and have exhausted their patience. I've had offers from my co-workers to come stay with them--"but don't bring your cat." OK, let...

thank God for that, right? I don't get to go back until January 3rd though. Then I'm not going to be serving for a while. I'm going to be hosting. That job is less physically demanding than serving. The hours are shorter as well, only 7 hours compared to 10 hours. It will help me get back into...

I've felt so much better these past few days.  Turtle has done me the favor of NOT going up under the bed. So no "awkward"moments... I started to wean myself off the pain medication and today was the first day I was totally drug-free. Turtle is still on duty and is at my side 24/7. When I sit...

I don't ever remember Turtle being scared of anything!! During our naptime this morning it started to rain very gently. I could hardly hear it, BUT Turtle sat straight up and bolted out of the bed and under it!! What's that all about???? So I got out of the bed and laid on the floor next to...

You can't really see it, but Turtle has her paw on my leg. even when she's dosing off, she's still "on call"

Turtle has been the most patient and attentive nurse EVER!! Just when I didn't think she could amaze me anymore, she does. I've been laying around a lot since I've been home. Turtle has left my side only to use the litter box. She now spends the whole night with me when we go to bed. And...

Anybody remember my neighbor's cat, Sophie? I posted about her being outside all the time and me worrying about her. Well, any who, she came over to welcome me home. Her and Turtle have met, and I love her, but she is a terrible biter and scratcher She' just plain mean. But I gotta love her when...

I'm being a pain in the butt this morning!! I'm up and ready to go...just a couple hours left. My friend is staying at my apartment. She's my ride home too. I called her and woke her up to tell her not to oversleep. No chance of that happening now. Then I called my home phone and left a...

16 hours...I'll be home snuggling with Turtle Love Dove in 16 hours. There's been a lot of activity in here today. Several "tubes" had to be removed from several "orifices". Not pretty....there should be a law..... So my nurse during the day shift was a stern, no nonsense kind of gal. Very...

I can't honestly say I could physically feel Turtle Dove on my chest, licking my chin. I could sense the essence of her spirit close to me. I could hear her purr and she was calling my name to come home. When I woke up I couldn't remember what day it was or where I was at, but I certainly...

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and vibes. (Especially YOU Laurie)!!! Still in a lot of pain. Still in the hospital. Thank God for Demerol ! My friend brought my computer up but I don't have much strength to use it. They're going to take out my catheter tomorrow and make me walk a...

Just got done watching a three-hour documentary on Winston Churchhill. It was pretty good--just too L O N G. I was really pleased to hear (during the last 34 minutes) that he was an avid animal lover. Had a dog named Rufus--a red poodle, a lot of tropical fish he would talk to AND his...

We survived the constipation crisis ( thanks to you guys) Now we have a stinky butt dilemma!!! I trimmed her fur a little in that area. I even try to dab her butt dry after she pees! But the odor smells like urine. And she leaves the smell wherever she sits!! She grooms herself pretty...

A very strong wind hit the stage just minutes before the Sugarland concert. It crumbled to the ground, killing 4 people and injuring 40. Please send vibes.... My friend went to that concert and now I can't find her. Please send vibes.... Thanks---cheryl

what kind of person would they be?? What kind of job would they have? Ever wonder? I don't (or try not to) impose human traits onto animals. I would NEVER insult the sweet creatures like that!! But when I look at Turtle my imagination goes a little kooky. If Turtle were a human she would be...

cravings? Or is there a strange food combination that you just can't live without? I was talking with a co-worker the other day and he confessed to me that the only way he could eat a Snickers candy bar was with a glass of tomato juice. After I was done gagging, I thought about my own personal...

Today has been a beautiful day--first time in over a month I got to turn off the air conditioning and open all the windows. Much to Turtle's delight!!! The winds have been extremely gusty. At times over 50 miles/hour. I came home from work, kicked off my shoes; where's Turtle? Not here to greet...
