Smoky actually wanted to eat this morning. That’s a huge improvement. For a cat who usually inhales his food, the fact that he didn’t want to eat last night was discouraging. He showed up for his pill pockets but didn’t want to eat them either. We had to drop them down his throat. He’s a creature of habit all right.

A strange but (so far) good turn of events
Tonight Kelly and I expected to go visit Smoky at Angell, and we were concerned after the conversations that Kelly had earlier today with his doctor. But by the time we got to see him early this evening, apparently he had turned a corner and was doing considerably well. So well, in fact, that the doctor said we could actually take him home tonight. Needless to say this was a great surprise, and we were not prepared to bring him home. We did not even have a carrier with us. But we borrowed one from Angell and we managed to get the little guy home.

The Perfect Storm
Yesterday was Smoky’s drop off day for his I-131 treatment. Per the instructions for his admission, he’d been off of his methimazole for a week. Over the last week we’d been monitoring him carefully. He’d been more heat sensitive than usual, he’d been breathing a bit heavier than normal, and his skin was getting drier and itchier. On Sunday night I had to clean his ears and treat the driest of his skin with petroleum jelly because it was just so itchy and flaky that he was scratching it until it bled.
Kelly’s shower is over and it went well
We had a long but productive weekend. Of course Kelly and her mom were busy with all of the bridal shower stuff, but they also managed to get a lot of other things done, like reorganizing the guest room so we would have more storage space for wedding stuff. I helped out where I could, and I also managed to complete a little kitchen project I had wanted to do that will give us a little more storage space. All in all, it was a pretty good weekend. I was only there for the early part when things were being set up, and then I left after I made sure they did not need me to run any more errands. So I did not get any pictures or anything, obviously, but it is my understanding that a lot of pictures were taken by Liza and so hopefully at some point we will be able to see some of those.

Yep, this is us
This is just precious, precious I tell you.
Those of you who know us know that Geoff and I HATE to fly. I’m generally not a fan of traveling, but I specifically hate to fly. It isn’t that I dislike planes or have a problem with a fear of flying or anything like that. It’s the TSA. I hate the TSA with the fiery passion of a 1,000 suns.

Midwestern through Western PA/NY Eastern OH folks!
This little one needs your help. He needs a home, either forever or foster ASAP. Check him out.
Are you taken yet. No? Well then, I present you with TUMMY FLOOF!
Jet is, as you will see at the link above, fully vaccinated, snipped, and ready to go to his new forever or foster home. If you’re interested, know someone who might be, or just want to look at more picture, please click through to the website above (linked again here because I’m evil) and contact the blog owner. She’ll get right back to you.

You know you need him in your life
Seriously, you do. How can you ignore this face?
Shopping on Amazon
Geoff and I just tweaked our registries a bit. There’s a sale on Amazon going on. To quote Amazon, “It’s a 4-for-3 promotion. Eligible products include select Books, Single Copy Magazines, and Home & Garden items. Buy any 4 eligible items and get the lowest-priced item free. Here’s how (restrictions apply).”
Basically, we moved all of our stemware over from Bloomingdales because each glass was $5.00 cheaper at Amazon and the 4-for-3 deal plus free shipping makes it an even better deal yet.
Ok, that’s enough wedding stuff for today.
