Meowlingual

Do you remember the dog translator that was all the rage for about 10 minutes a few years ago? The Nut House does! Well, now we can understand our cats with the new Meowlingual Cat Translation Device!!! It is $75 and I can't wait to get one! I will finally be able to understand what Billy Bob is saying to me! I am thinking he is always saying "Foods! Give me foods!!" I guess now I will find out! Btw, if anyone is in doubt about what to get me (John) for Christmas this year...Meowlingual, please.

Jealousy

Early this morning Lizzie was rather mean to Billy Bob.

Ever since we adopted Lizzie, Billy Bob and Joey's relationship has been really weak. Joey spends most of his time with Lizzie (she gives him baths) and when Billy Bob tries to be affectionate to Joey he usually walks away.

This morning was rare because Joey did not walk away. He was laying down on the floor and Billy Bob came over, laid down with joey at an angle, and was being really nice to Joey and was giving him some love. Then, Lizzie spotted them and quickly came over and got in between them. Billy Bob then walked away. At The Nut House, we feel really bad for Billy Bob. All he wants is to love Joey and be friends with him like old times.

Joey Update #3

Joey is back home! He came home Thursday after a full day at the animal clinic. They did a bunch of x-rays and the nurses said he slept the whole time. It turns out that he has a bunch of torn ligaments around his knees. So there is not much holding his legs together. He also has lost a ton of muscle mass in his legs. They think that the leg problems led to the arthritis. I am not sure where we go from here with him, but I will continue to update the blog with info about Joey's health. Please send your good thoughts in his direction.

Turtle in the Driveway

There was a turtle in the driveway this morning! We thought he was cool so we went out to take a closer look. When we go out Dave gets a stock and starts touching the head of the turtle with it. I said, "Dad! That turtle did nothing to you! Why are you doing that?!" By this time the turtle is completely hidden inside his shell out of fear. Dad says, "I wanted to see what it would do."...oy.

Joey Update #2

Joey was taken to the animal clinic this morning. He will be getting an x-ray today. According to Sue he walked off "very happy" with the nurses.

It does not make sense to me (John) why an x-ray takes all day. Sue will be picking him up later this afternoon. The rumors and rumblings around The Nut House are pointing to some lies from Sue. The rumor here is that there is no x-ray, but that Sue has taken Joey to the big backyard in the sky. Only time will tell. We shall see if she picks him up this afternoon.

A Frog Outside the Window

There was a frog that stayed outside my (this is John btw) window all day long. He or she did not move a muscle literally all day from the time I woke up about 7:30 thanks to Billy Bob till about 10 pm when I went to bed. Click on the picture to enlarge it.
