Where I'll Be Tomorrow Morning

Though Olivia is doing quite well with her chronic kidney disease and, most days, is the same happy, playful girl she's always been, she still needs to have a checkup from time to time.

And today? Is one of those times.

I'll cart her off to the vet, get her blood drawn and blood pressure checked, and, even though I know she's doing well, be nervous until the test results confirm what I already know: Olivia is one tough little kitty.

In any case, please wish us luck for continued good news.

Shocktober Song

The locust trees in Seward Park
are mostly golden now.
Sharp, small leaves are spinning down
from nearly every bough.
Shadows stretch and often catch
a passer-by in fear.
The sun slides down. The dark swirls 'round.
Beware! Shocktober's here.

Shocktober 10/2/13

Welcome to Shocktober 2013

It's finally here--my favorite month of the year. It's time for ghosts and goblins, skeletons and scares, mysteries and monsters. Oh...and cute li'l with kitties like the one above.
