Peaches is way too big to carry around, too. I have no idea how much he weighs...I’ll have to find out next time he goes in for his yearly shots....but the lady who gave him to me said he was one of the biggest she’s had.
I decided not to get up too early. Good thing, too, or I’d have been on the road and would have been caught up in the traffic jam! Ugh

All is well, Sis! (((hugs)))
Mine is just routine blood work. Last time my potassium was a bit low so the doc wanted me to re-do it before my follow-up appointment next week. I had to change doctors because mine quit and you know how they just HAVE to have you come in.
As for the angiogram....hubby woke up one morning last summer feeling hard pressure in his chest. it went away after a couple of minutes, but it happened a few more times and he told his doc who sent him to another doc...and yadda, yadda...Now he has to have this done after a stress test showed possible blockage somewhere.
We both think he’ll be fine. He is very strong and healthy otherwise...well, diabetic, but under control. But a few prayers wouldn’t hurt. :)
When making the ping list, I almost wrote my BB’s name. sigh. We thought he was healthy, too, at almost 62.

“We live with *CRASH!* What have you done NOW, you little Bas****! every day - times 42. LOL! “
Whew!
I thought you’d be upset that I called him that! LOL!
Don’t misunderstand me, I really DO love him, but he picks the most inopportune times to misbehave!
I know what you mean about not having nice things.
Too many “crashes” pretty much took care of that!
I will cajole hubby into taking another pic of him for ya!
He really is a doll!

Dexter is a little overweight but not much. He’s a huge cat all around and I felt sorry for Isis when she gave birth. She’s a small cat and reeeeeeally shouldn’t have messed around with Austin. She had BIG babies but Dexter’s by far the largest.
Peaches looks like a big boy in the pix you’ve posted. I guess Ghost is a big boy, too, since they look about the same size.
Sounds like things worked out well for you this morning, timing wise. Maybe there won’t be another reason to postpone the trip to the doctor Friday and you can get it over with.

BB and I are (were) the same age.
My Doc told me if I had not asked Mike to take me to the hospital on Sept 3rd,
I would have died at home.
Pretty sobering to hear that!
So? Get those tests done you two!
I can’t take anymore losses!!

He’ll definitely be in my prayers for good results. It sure is a bit worrisome they suspect a blockage somewhere. Let’s hope they’re wrong.

Ghost is smaller than him. His legs are shorter and so is his tail. I guess you’d call him a “cobby” body type, or would if he was better fed. I do what I can, but he leaves it and mine finish it up. LOL. Peaches is long all over...including his ears. :)

Nw why would I be upset you called him that? You should hear what I call these guys when they act up! On second thought, no you shouldn’t. LOL!!!!
Ya can’t help but love them, even though they can be monsters sometimes. :-)
Yeah, all nice things are boxed up and put away. *sigh* But it’s the choice we make to have the kittehs in our lives.
Cajole, cajole, cajole! We do love to admire that handsome young cat.

They been having a lot of fun tonight. First it was the Kleenex box and now they’re taking turns dragging the grocery store receipt through the house. One of them pulled it out of the waste basket. *sigh*
Oh well, at least none of them are spatting tonight.

I’m so thankful that you didn’t hold it in and not tell Mike. I know how proud you can be of your strength. I don’t want to lose anyone else, either.
In my mind, it seems that BB told me that he had been having some minor chest pains. But maybe I am just projecting because of what happened. He was way too young. It wasn’t supposed to happen!
The tests will be done. Like I said, mine is just routine because of a new doctor. Hubby monitors his health very well and has a doctor, who I can’t stand and who I fired because he was such a cold fish, but who has taken very good care of hubby! I needed more input, but they get along great. LOL!
