Seamus and the Coke can

A bit of frivolity ... !

Since coming out of hospital, I've developed a constant thirst - I guess from the medication - so I've had cans of Coke chilling in the fridge so that I can gulp them down whenever I feel the need.

Seamus has decided that he, too, likes the cans of Coke so here he is, taking my empty can and stashing it behind the sofa.

Excuse the mess in the sitting room! I've been a lady of leisure for the past 6 weeks so need to get off my tush and start cleaning the house :D

Another scare with Kahlua

It was a week ago today and I really thought I was going to lose Kahlua!

I was taking her to see the vet in the afternoon so around mid-morning, I went to get her as I'd prepared the smoothy for her to drink. She was lying under the cover of the hammock and when I pulled it back, I saw her doing the same as she did on Christmas Eve. She had her lips back in a grimace and was breathing rapidly and it was very shallow.

Now Kahlua has insulinoma :(

Oh phoo - double phoo! I really didn't think that my sweet old silvermitt would get insulinoma so soon after Muis but she has. Cr@p!

Before Christmas she had some funny "turns" - she'd walk around and suddenly look like she was lost. Nothing like the dazed look I've come to know with insulinoma. Oh no. I honestly thought she had Alzheimers! She'd stand there and look left then right as if to say "Which way I am supposed to go!"
