Short people are so cute/ when they get all huffy about their height...!
...or lack thereof...

Wonderful about the wolfy Mikey tribute, Roberta. And your plan sounds quite wise, dlowan.
Olga, I used to be five feet six inches tall. Then five-five. The last time I was in the hospital, they checked my height. Five feet three and a half inches.
A very nice height.
Oh I absolutely agree, Roberta!
The
best height in fact!
Hey, we're the same height! I'm certain this
means something!
But how did you lose 1 1/2 inches?
Old people tend to get shorter. Gravity. Maybe I have osteosomething or other. Doesn't matter. Maybe in another ten years I won't need my door key. I'll just walk under.
Fact is, I think the hospital measuring thingy was off. The friend who adopted the wolf for me is five-three, and I'm taller than her. Of course, she could be shrinking too.
Yes, I fured that there must be some discrepancy between the hospital's measuring equipment & the ones you'd used before, Roberta. It doesn't happen that quickly!
Jeez, some people are feisty, aren't they. Just the tiniest mention of.....................
<kapow!!!>
The last pic of Possum shows he's built just like me - long and ....ahem! not narrow!
Aw, margo .... you understand I was having a bit of fun & silliness, yes?
I am sure she does!
Miranda is sending me barmy...or barmier.
I think she is stable, then I think she is worse.....I just spent 10 minutes folowing her around, wondering if I should make the decision, and do it today (the euthanasia one) or not...or whether I should just stay home, and devote the next few days to giving her a good sendoff.
Thing is, predictably, she is very unsteady when she wakes up, and seems to gradually settle as she does stuff.
What I HATE is that her already ridiculously over the top startle reaction has gone utterly haywire......and she is startling to what I think is nothing at all, except perhaps some nasty firing of something in her brain. When this happens, she actually sometimes falls over.
This, too, seems to be worse when she wakes up, or when she is very active, and settles...especially if I do what she REALLY wants me to do, which is lie on the sofa with her in my lap.
The bed won't do, oh no...it has to be the sofa...and, if I am not there, she wanders between where I am and the sofa.
What to do.....
Well, I will go and do the stuff I need to do out in the world...then come home and do stuff here...then spend some serious sofa time with her, before going out tonight.
I will probably sleep on the sofa with her tonight, and reassess in the morning, when I am supposed to be leaving.
Oof.
I'm so sorry that such difficult decisions have to be made on a deadline. I very much hope she stabilizes enough that you feel comfortable going on your trip.
Deb querida, I'm with Soz. I can only imagine the pain and "tornness" you're feeling.
I started several sentences and deleted them. Just gonna say how much you'll be in my thoughts and how much I hope things turn out well.
Here comes a giant hug:
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Deb}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
I wish I could do more than give you a virtual hug.
Sorry to hear of this new development, Deb. I hope that it turns out that Miranda is OK and you're still able to go on your trip. Good luck!
Thanks, guys...cyber thoughts help.
Lol...well, she is still strong anyway!
I remembered I had some tablets for Oscar that were the same (steroids) as were prescribed for Miranda last time she had this.
So.......I gave her one.
She's always been a bastard to give pills to...but this time, with the whole startle thing...she was over the top.
I THINK the tablet went down, but I ended up well and truly bleeding in several places, and she ended up with a claw through her ear.
Unfortunately, with her, wrapping doesn't help a lot...but I will try it next dose.
If I can't do it with more calmth, I am not sure the drama is worth the possible gain.
Phew!
I'm sorry to hear about Miranda too. Hoping for the best and that you manage to get away without worrying as she's improving on the steroids.
It's just the worst decision to have to make and the worst timing too
We've got 2 squirrels who've moved into the area and play at the foot of our (short) garden
I just hope they are quicker than Paddy. They are a delight to watch leaping from branch to branch.
A bit after 1 am Sunday morning.
Just got back home & am checking in to see if there's any news on Miranda.
Phew indeed.
Hope she improves even more as the pill takes effect.
Hang in there.
I haven't been around for a while and am very sorry to read sad news.
Roberta, you wrote so wonderful about Mikey and it made me cry. My thoughts are with you.
Deb, I hope Miranda is better. I am sending good thoughts and energy.
Merry Christmas to you all. Take good care of yourselves and your furry friends.
A little seasonal music:
Meowy Christmas everyone!
Checking in to see if there's any news of Miranda from Deb on this Sunday morning. I'm hoping all is quiet on that front because Miranda's improved & Deb is able to leave home for her trip. Fingers crossed, anyway ......
Tai
I
love Yo Yo Ma & his cat!
Greetings, urs!
Long time no see!
You must be busy!
How are your two feline preciouses & Mr Bigdice going these days?
And you, too, of course!
~
msolga, we are all great! Getting ready to leave for Christmas at my sister's house. BigDice tried to feed the cats some nice Argentinian beef - but they thought it was disgusting :-)
Nisse has been singing some Christmas songs today - and last night, too... He is really in the spirit - crazy cat...
