He has a wide dark line running down his back with the markings on his sides. Both sides are identical. And the he has the amber and gray peaking through. All slick and shiny because he allows me to brush him every day.

81. I will post a picture of Pixie with her new lion cut
Mon Jun 22, 2020, 07:44 PM
Jun 2020

when she recovers from the sedative she got at the vet so they could shave her. She has long, very fine, soft fur that mats extremely easily, and she hates being groomed. I mean she really, really hates it. If she sees me approaching with a comb or a brush she runs off; if I catch her and try to groom her she turns into a hairy chainsaw. I think this attitude is the result of an unpleasant experience she had with a groomer - not that the groomer did anything wrong, but Pixie just doesn't like strangers or being messed with. But ever since, she's hated brushes and combs.

So anyhow, over the winter she developed some mats that I couldn't do anything about, and realized that she'd have to go to a vet because she'd have to be sedated. I made an appointment for mid-March but because of the lockdown the vet wasn't taking appointments for pets that weren't actually sick. Finally, though, today she got her haircut. She did not want to go to the vet, though; I had to wear elbow-length leather rose gloves to protect my hide while I got her into the carrier.

But, we made it. Now she's buck naked except for her head, her limbs below the elbows and knees, and a lion-like tuft on her tail. I thought she'd look kind of rat-like and pathetic but she doesn't; I think she's cute, and she feels like warm suede. I also discovered that under the fur she's a bit chubby. She's still a little discombobulated from the sedative, but when she's back to herself I'll try to get a photo to post.

She's not very happy about it. The vet said that for some cats it could take as much as 48 hours for the sedative to wear off completely, and she still seems a bit uncoordinated though she's better than yesterday. Also, I think she feels kind of weird, though I told her I think she's cute. Right now she's hiding inside her cat tree. I hope she's back to herself tomorrow.

Cleopatra Marie, my Catahoula, is getting on now at 13. My cat, Kokopelli, is three, and has CH, aka wobbly cat syndrome. Her cerebellum wasn't fully developed, and she has no sense of balance. Other than that, she should have a normal life.

Koko came to me from the ferals in the haybarn next door barely with her eyes open, so it's been fun watching her develop. And a little challenging, to be honest. She's a good object lesson in playing with the cards your dealt.

This is from back in 2012 when we were in Boston.



Here we are retired at the age of about 15 back in South Florida. I have to help him on his feet sometimes now. We no longer use a leash either since his top speed is about 0.5 MPH.

He's waiting for a treat in this shot. He doesn't play much anymore because it is really hard for him to keep on his feet. We like to go for walks in the morning before it gets too hot. Sometimes his kitties follow along too. We don't normally go to far as he gets tired and I don't want to have to carry him back home. He's still over 60 pounds. Thank you for the compliments.

Have you ever given him Glucosamine? It makes a huge difference in the quality of life for dogs. They act and feel like they’re years younger.

He gets Duralactin and a joint enhancer that has glucosamine in it. I crush it up and mix it into the gravy in his food. I also keep carprofen handy. I think it's like Advil for dogs. I don't give him that too much because he gets agitated on it. He's just way older than I thought he would ever get. He was a strong positive for heartworm when we adopted him. He's also had a large tumor that had to be removed a couple of years ago. He likes getting out and meeting other dogs. We used to have 3 including him, but the other two passed away from bone cancer. They were larger than he ever was.

Here's Nikki on the left, Samson of course in the middle, and Eightball is on the right. They used to have great fun at the dog park and all 3 loved the snow up in New England too.
