Hello, everyone. Happy Friday!
Closing out a bit of a hectic week here, but hoping that this photo poem that Kevin and I worked on together can bring about some peace and tranquility.


We could always use those kind of vibes, right?
Hope you all are doing well, and I look forward to reading your posts soon.
Took the cat to the vet today, heโs on antibiotics for 10 days and then we have a follow-up, so wish me luck and fingers crossed ๐ค all ends up well. ๐
What do you have planned for the weekend?
P.S. – I havenโt been on for about a week, so of course I need some time to catch up with everyone. Your patience with that is always greatly appreciated! ๐


the lovely color palette really compliments the words and images. as always great job, you two. Happy Friday! Mike

I think this is the first Iโve mentioned it. Seems like something going on with the teeth. Hopefully this is all he needs. Heโs still got a pretty big appetite, just feel bad if itโs painful. Thank you! ๐ ๐

Yeah. That’s no fun. We had to do a few with extractions on one of our kitties to get him relatively pain free. Good luck. ๐

Omg yeah thatโs what Iโm afraid of. Was it expensive? She didnโt even mention that, but Iโm sure it could be a possibility if the antibiotics donโt help. ๐ฉ
Appreciated much! ๐ I hate autocorrect too lol ๐

The expensive part is the anesthetic. The extraction for four teeth, including knocking him out was something on the order of $400 plus the followup exam to make sure it was healing properly. But I had (at the time) 7 cats visiting this vet and he might have cut me a volume discount.

Yeah that doesnโt seem like the most horrible price either. Anesthetic is always the most expensive ugh ๐ฉ weโll see what happens. Thanks for the info! Heโs up and lively today, fighting taking his meds somewhat ๐
