Oh poop! I didn't even think about the possible UPS strike. Well, they say it's on its way and projected for tomorrow delivery.
You'd do better to let Betty predict that than anyone else IMHO.
*because in true fact, no one knows and anyone who says different may have a nice heater to sell you right about now.*
Hopefully not the hairballs too.
I had sympathetic zoomies and came away from the desk to zip her around a few laps with the laser pointer.
Betty's looking quite smug and self-assured there. Is that before or after the, uh, deposit?Betty at her grooming bar. She has four, five (one not pictured) tools and she’s still shedding up a cloud. The obvious conclusion I’ve come to is that she is growing them and shedding them in the same action. Timesaver!

I think she grew her winter coat in the last few weeks, just to shed it. I don’t remember her being this fluffy during the winter months. Or maybe the pred was thinning her coat and the pred reduction is bringing it back?
She had a very spirited midday zoomies. When I checked the box, I understood why. She passed a fifth leg or a second tail. That must have felt so good!
I think the beauty bar was after the release party. But I’m not sure. I went back for a second round and got an even larger hairball off her.Betty's looking quite smug and self-assured there. Is that before or after the, uh, deposit?
I love that third brush (the yellow-orange one with the green handle) -- where did you get it, may I ask?
Elvis was coughing this morning. He doesn't cough, so I'm thinking he's thinking about surprising me with a nice furball. He leaves "furzles" around; I thought he was done with this for a few, but apparently not.
He's decided to hold back on the "gift" for now.
Look how proud she is! *Dad. DAD!!! Look what you GOT!!!*
She looks positively exultant. *I guess I would be, too. That's a GARGANTUAN one!*
To be honest, the Zoom Groom and the Love Glove are the two best for pulling hair off her. A squeegee is the best for pulling cat hair off the carpet and the cat trees. The Zoom Groom and the Love Glove are the safer ways to squeegee your cat.Look how proud she is! *Dad. DAD!!! Look what you GOT!!!*
Elvis had his awhile ago, right inside the front door. He didn't announce it, though. Fortunately, I found it before my roomie returned from golf.
Looks like a great brush!
Elvis is a grooming fan, too. All I have to do is say, "Elvis, BRUSHIES!" or "Elvis, COMBIES!" (Silly, I know. But he humors me. After all, I'm the one who pops the can tops.) and he's THERE. I run his slicker brush gently over surfaces to pick up the loose fur. It works!To be honest, the Zoom Groom and the Love Glove are the two best for pulling hair off her.

She's such a glutton for brushing that I don't mind going through the whole selection for her.
Agree 100%. Any lightening of her weight will also lighten her step.
There’s a wildcard factor of the towel. But if the towel wasn’t there, she would not stick around to finish her treats. The towel could probably be trimmed as part of it folds over. I switched which end folds over and that’s possibly the large difference between last week and this week. I don’t think she actually gained THAT much weight. I have a week to trim that towel and then we can probably throw away next week’s weight until we have scored a few with the “new” towel.
Well, or you could just fold it into the shape that exactly fits the scale and then you wouldn't have to cut it. Just a thought.
Well that’s what I thought I was doing. But clearly there’s a large variance in the way it’s folded and the results recorded. I’d rather take folds out of the picture. Or maybe find the perfect folds and then affix them to the scale with tape or Velcro strips to take out the variance.

I have not used the liquid version with Betty. She doesn't really like liquid meds. And she's famously easy to "pill" because she'll scoop and swallow whatever I can pack into capsules and dip and drop onto the carpet for her. I only used it twice for vet visits. The first time was the first time she took gabapentin and 100 mg was enough to make her a comically docile Betty bag of jello. The dose she is on today was "calculated" through trial and error for the dose that kept her eating to and through her dental appointment without knocking her on her butt. Then I just kept giving it because I was told it would be what she would take for arthritis anyway. Now it's not a high enough dose for that. But I don't want to change that on her until she's done with pred next month. I would like to take her off gabapentin and try CBD with her. But none of this is what you asked. My advice would be to practice dose him on a Saturday or Sunday when you two have nowhere to go and nothing to do. If you have a hard time cutting his nails, this would be a great time to do it. The second time I gave Betty a pre-vet dose, she had already been taking it for awhile and built up something of a tolerance. The 100 mg dosage that turned her into a bag of jello wasn't high enough anymore. She still made a feisty fuss of herself at the vet. She came back with two bruised arms from a failed catheter attempt, and I guess the second one was from a successful catheter. But since you're only using it for vet trips, I don't think he'll build a tolerance off a practice run or two. Better to find out at home that the recommended dose isn't enough (or too much!)
that really has me

Well, a girl doesn't like having her pic going viral when it's like that. So your private enjoyment is a good thing.Ugh! I forgot that this is how jury duty works. I'm on standby and have to check in every morning between 11am and noon to see if I'm reporting to a courtroom. Here's the
" During the standby process, if necessary, you will be expected to be available on a one-hour notice to report to a courthouse for jury service."
So not only do I not know until I'm already into my work day. But then I'm expected to drop everything if they want me in that day. C'mon. Can't you tell me between 7 and 8 am? I feel like I'm a standby hostage this week.
Betty had bed face this morning. It was hilarious and I'm sad I didn't get a photo. Half her face fur was still squished from her former sleeping position despite having already got up and crossed the room. She was sitting at the edge of the kitchen looking at me with half her face squished flat.
Betty thanks you. 
Hoping you get rejected for jury duty.
Did not have to report today. Next instructions come after 5:00 today. I am hoping it was just an administrative quirk that the first day's instructions weren't handed out until 11am. I am hoping 5:00 pm will be the instructions time for the rest of the week rather than keeping my schedule hostage to theirs.Well, a girl doesn't like having her pic going viral when it's like that.

That sux bigtime. It shouldn't be possible. But of course, we all know about too many things that shouldn't be possible, being done.
