My wife does an amazing job getting our animals to pose for photos, especially with her books. Here is Pippin and Darwin posing with her 3rd book.
That must be one delicious treat she's holding by the camera!
The only thing better would be if she managed to get the dog posed with his snoot on the cat's forehead. But then you'd need to get the cat to wear a green dress
Nova is doing so much better than last week (new diagnosis of diabetes plus acute pancreatitis). She's home, getting insulin - yet one more skill I have - refusing to take her oral meds (fine, it's your lack of pain pill I guess.) and otherwise doing so much better.
We're very glad to have her around, and not suffering, for a while longer. I'll add a pic once she poses.
I'm glad your Nova is doing better this week. Years ago I had to learn to give our cat insulin. We both got used to it pretty quickly. Please post a pic. My Nova is here sitting on my lap for morning coffee time.
Finally got a decent pic. Despite her flower she's very sweet. Trying to help her put some weight back on while also having to give her insulin for it. But she looks so much better than when she ended up in the hospital.
My cat hasn't been holding food down for a while. He's a long hair, I'm worried he may have a blockage. I'm trying a new diet first to see if it helps. Otherwise, time to visit the vet.
Here is our newest friend Ami with banana not for scale. He's just over 8 weeks old and is doing great so far for just a little guy! He's using his pad 8 or 9 times out of 10, sleeps most of the way through the night in his enclosure, and is easily redirected when he's chewing something he shouldn't. He's such a cutie and has been a champ with everyone he's met in the few days since we got him. The older cats are doing well too and they haven't hissed or grumbled at all - they are just keeping their wary but curious distance for now.
