Good morning everyone, it’s a beautiful morning here in the Deep South, sunshine, blue sky and not too cool outside. The fur gang is doing well and ready to face another day. Mama, Hobo, Suzie, Peaches and Izzie are all very happy and content. This morning as I walked into the kitchen Izzie was in Sue’s lap getting his morning soothing massage. He will allow Sue to touch his tummy but no one else can without some objection and perhaps a slap from his paw. Anyway he was getting his morning attention and he was in hog heaven.
I have been feeding Hobo separately to keep her from eating the other girl's food. I have watched her tactics in that she will stand close to the feeding bowl waiting for her chance to step in and finish off what is left. This encourages Peaches to clean her bowl and Suzie will stand guard over hers until she gets tired and walks away and then she is dumb founded that her food is gone when she returs. Mama will allow Hobo to come and eat out of the bowl with her making sure she gets her share just like a mother would do for a child that is hungry. Since I have been feeding Hobo in a different room I am beginning to see her lose some weight.
The eye continues to improve as the vision becomes clearer and I am able to see objects that are close up. With the bubble in the eye it is like looking through jiggling Jell-O. But anyway I can see and that is great! The blood pressure is still a little elevated along with the blood sugar so an increase in the blood pressure pill was in order along with a little change in the amount of insulin I take. The Doctor wasn’t too alarmed about the situation because of the eye surgery and the healing process that is on going.
Dan is supposed to come home today from the hospital with his new hip. I hope he does well once he arrives at home and can relax in his own surroundings. Okay, Sue has plans for me this morning so I have to go and face the music, talk with you later.
