Dang, girl! I just noticed you changed your screen name. LOL! Real observant, aren’t I?

Hope you had a good day.
Did Smokey show up for supper?

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Pro bags the bronze!!

[luvie]

Do you have plantar fasciitis? I had that and it was very painful and burning, especially in the arch and heel.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you were able to ride AND give some encouragement to the beleaguered police.

[luvie]

LOL! it just happened this afternoon. I felt it was time. I didn’t even lose my statistics. I wouldn’t have done it otherwise.

She did show up tonight and was sitting with the other kitties. I think they are getting used to her, and she’s very sweet so they don’t fuss at her too; much.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, luvie...and a name change, too!

God Bless them for sure!!

[luvie]

Yeah, I just felt it was the right time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[radu]

WHEW!!! I thought I was losing it. I looked back and the new name shows up as far back as Sunday. Weird.

I’m glad the others are accepting her. Maybe she’ll be comfortable enough to start showing up for EVERY meal now. I’m looking forward to seeing a pic of a fat and sassy girlie soon. :-)

[luvie]

I hope she does gain weight. I can’t see much change yet. But she’s becoming more comfortable in the yard with the others, so I hope she’ll gain some soon. She only eats a few bites at a time, probably because her little tummy is minuscule. Poor baby.

[radu]

Yup! That’s what I’ve been doing. LOL

But it’s time to turn the heating pad off and head out to load up the last little bit of the stuff for the sale. If I wait much longer I’ll be too sleepy, and I don’t want to do it in the morning. I need to get out of here as soon as I can in the morning. Too much to do.

[radu]

Too bad there are so many others around. Sneaking a little canned food to her would help her gain weight a little quicker. Being a special treat, she’d be inclined to eat a little more at a time and expand her lil tummy. But she’s eating regularly and she’ll be fine. Just takes time when they’re that skinny.

[luvie]

I’d be afraid if I did that, she’d demand canned food forever. LOL! I can’t stand to smell that stuff.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I was just out on the deck throwing out corn...the minute I said Duck, Duck as I opened the door, the family of 6 all ran towards the deck. Then I saw the family of 4 look up as well....they usually run back to the creek. Gotta get the pics uploaded.

[radu]

Demanding doesn’t mean receiving. LOL I give 5 of our older cats a little canned food each day to help them keep their weight up. The others want it, too, but they don’t get it. You can look at them and tell they aren’t skimping on dry food in rebellion. hee!

[radu]

Yay! All the little ones are still there. It sounds like the new family has figured out you aren’t going to gobble them up.

[luvie]

Right! I’ll bet you don’t have a skinny one in the bunch! LOL!

[radu]

There are several who are slender but there are a few who are a little more on the rotund size. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

The family of 6 AND the family of 4 in the yard at the same time!

[luvie]

Awwwww...how cute! Bet they’re hungry too!
