The most important news first: I HAD TO GO TO THE VET AGAIN! I haven’t been eating very much lately, and I’ve been sneezing so hard I break blood vessels inside my nose and sneeze blood — HA HA, you should see MA duck and cover! But then she wipes my face, and I don’t like that. Hmph!
I was trying to keep it from MA, but the sneaky vet made me go to sleep and took sekrit pitchurs of the inside of my face, and he told MA about the hurty toofs in my mouf. So I have to take medicine for a week and then MA takes me back to get my toofs OUT.
And I don’t even bite her! Ami did!
It’s all shiny because MA slathered it with antibacterial ointment. MA says it was her own fault; she says she was petting Ami wrong and not paying attention to Ami’s signals. I said I know how she feels, because Ami doesn’t really SEND signals. She kind of goes, “Don’t really much like that.” KABOOM! Ami has a very short fuse. Like, none. Like, hair-trigger — or I should say fur-trigger.
Sweetie Pie went out again, this time because MA allowed it. Granny had a tooth pulled, and MA has been spending the nights up there so she can give Granny an antibiotic (lots of that going around back here in Allen’s Alley) during the night. One morning, it was so cool and sunny and nice, she let Sweetie Pie out for a few minutes.
Later, Sweetie Pie decided she wanted to crawl into a den and curl up. The only trouble is, only her head would fit in! LOL!
MA doesn’t have to stay at Granny’s all the time, though; she comes home during the day, and she’ll be able to come home full-time Saturday, when Granny takes the last of her night pills. Yay! Then she’ll be giving me my medicine. Boo!

Did the Munchkin x-ray find his brains??
Ha ha.
Maybe I should x-ray Goober to search for HIS.
Even chance, not there!
I learned a word on Rachel Maddow last week:
cwtch
It’s Welsh (I know, the ‘w’ gave it away) and is pronounced kootch.
And that’s Goober’s special talent: cwtching. It means super cuddle relax feel good. He gives the best cwtches. Boy just goes limp, leans on ya, purrs, and then later, lets you just set him down like a sack of groceries, no wiggling (or claws). YUM YUM!

June 27, 2015 at 10:25amOh, plenty of brains; no teeth!
Nice word, rotten spelling. I’ll never understand why we even have the same alphabet, if any given letter can stand for any given sound. A different tone within the same range, I get, but W stands for OO? Or, looking at it from the other direction, OO stands for W? They don’t like writing vowels in Wales? How do you even pronounces “Wales” in Welsh? ~going off to have a bit of a lie-down~
