Home, safe and sound

I'm doing all my catch up stuff-- the boring stuff that will cause trouble if not attended to.

Second, here is that video that Craig Ferguson likes to play. It's very funny.

Third, con report will be later, after boring stuff is done. Good con, though. I had a great time. Mostly. *g*

Forth, Reg is taking his insulin shots like the champ that he is. And since I've been gone a week, I can see a big difference in him. Gone is the cat that sleep too much, and obviously felt very vulnerable. Now he struts outside, all alert and inquisitive. And he really doesn't care about the shots; he seems to be overjoyed that it's not a pill we want to give him (he had to take fluconazole daily for nearly 2 years (well, the first four months was thru the feeding tube.) He just purrs like crazy. We show him the syringe so he knows what's coming and he nuzzles it. What a sweetie!

I've known several cats who had to get regular shots, and it really seems to be much easier. Certainly easier than pilling! The current cat had antibiotics by injection, and she was all 'yeah, whatever, where's that tuna?'. The only people who seem to mind shots are the humans administering them!

We had this other diabetic cat about 14 years ago and after having him run about with a syringe bobbing in his shoulders, we insisted he lay down before we gave him the shot. The deal was, we'd show him the syringe and a can of whipped cream (his favorite.) He'd pace for about a minute and then assume the position for the shot. Then jump to his feet and say, "give me the cream now!" They are very food oriented.

And even though I've given shots, there was still a moment before I gave Reg his first shot that I thought, "I'm stabbing Reg!" and got freaked out for a moment. Yeah, it is more of an issue for me. *g*

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear all about the con. Going to the pub on Saturday with the tribe. I'll waft fish and chip smells your way!
I thought you brought the rain back with you, but no such luck. One brief downpour, just enough to make the dust on the car all spotty, but not enough to wash it all off, damn it!

I hate that type of rain. Bleh.

It rained four days out of the seven I was up there. I *almost* got the desire for rain out of my system. *g*

And yes, save me a greasy napkin so I can appreciate the fish and chips I'm not having. When's the next meeting, anyway?
