Kitty’s Place

It has really been months since I have updated. Life has gone along, I finished first term at uni, had a lovely summer and started second term. The short version. *laugh*

Ibo had 5 weeks vacation and we enjoyed every day of it. Llywellyn shot up a couple inches over the summer and really enjoyed his summer. Susan is plugging along, getting deafer and more arthritic but she persists in believing she is a puppy even if she is 11. Rusty had a tough summer. He was sick from May on. We saw 4 different vets between May and July. He just got less and less active, stopped eating properly and finally had a crisis with vomiting and bloody diarrhea. We still don’t know for sure what his trouble was from, but after the crisis he began to improve, started gaining back the weight he lost and is back to running and playing like before, although he still is not 100%. The final conclusion is that he needs his tonsils removed. They are quite large and a resevoir for any infection he might pick up. First we need to have him seen by a specialist to check his heart and lungs …. a good idea before any anesthetic. Majong is grown up, he loves to be out all day, but he has to be in to sleep with us at night.

LL is still busy, he has violin twice a week, scouts, streetdance and craft club. We haven’t heard yet when stamp club will start and if we can fit it into his schedule. He is a little Ibo. *laugh*

Ibo is busy as well with work and politics, he thrives on it but I have to keep a close eye on him so he doesn’t overdo it. At the moment he is ill (I think I infected him, have been ill for a week myself) so he is taking it easy at home.

Today is LL’s 10th birthday. Imagine that, 10! This time 10 years ago I was sorting laundry and barbecuing shish kebabs, with no idea that the sore back I had all day was actually labour, after all it was 6 weeks before he was due. *laugh* We had a party at a barnensdjungel, where they jumped in a big air filled crocodile, climbed through tubes, climbed ropes. It was fun for all. The nicest part was I had no preparation to do and no clean up after.
