Are you up? How are your knees feeling?  Now that you've got the laundry done, dinner cooked, dishes done. Have you dusted yet? LOL I was so mad when I read your post surgical post. If that makes sense to you. Hope every day is better. Hows the potassium issue and the prednisone? My new big boy and Tazz are finally getting along better. Tazz actually chaed the cat down the hallway tonight. Really funny to watch a 3 1/2lb dog chase a 21lb cat!  I was afraid cat would eat dog, but hasn't happened yet.  Last night about 3 in morning, Cat stretched and stuck a claw into my cheek and woke me up! Wow, that was a shocker. Felt like it was stuck for 5 minutes, I think he was asleep, and didn't know he had done it. Hope I don't get cat scratch fever infection. I had it a year ago, and had to take high test antibiotics, and have the lesion surgically removed. My whole finger swelled and turned absolutly black clear to first knuckle. Got it off a transport box for medical specimens from a vets office. Not even one of my own cats.  Hope you are having a good night. Take care. Got that maid's costume ready yet?...........Maggie

Yes she is just the greatest companion. My sister-in-law is here tonight with her rottie, so Tazz's nose is bent out of shape big time! She'll be happy when they leave in am. They seem to be the best loving lap companions I have ever had. Glad other's have them on here too!  Take care, enjoy weekend.M

One of my two is a long haired chihuahua x.  She is the sweetest girl you could ever meet.  She's lick you to death if you give her half a chance...

That's a sweet death.... by warm, soft, tiny, loving dog tongue....

Chihuahuas rule!

I could not stand them up until 6 months ago, and then my daughter brought one home. My favorite little companion now. She's a daddys girl big time!

The funny thing about Tazz is she's a Chihuahua! She's 7 years old. The only growing she'll do is from overeating!  She only gets 1/4 cup of food a day.Of course she'll beg for table scraps, she's really spoiled. It is so funny, Very large cat, very small dog! To make it even funnier, my sister-in-law came to visit tonight, with her 125# Rottweiler. What a zoo! I got a mental pic of the golden lab being bowled over. I can just imagine the look on it's face!   So far my face is okay, I got up and put hydrogen peroxide on it, and some neosporin ointment on it, so think it's going to be okay. The last time I got the infection it turned black overnight, and it's been 2 days now and looks okay. The good thing about our pets is they don't care if we walk funny, talk funny, or forget things.unconditional love. I needed the cat like a needed (another) hole in the head, but made the mistake of "just looking" at our pet rescue website. Take care and God Bless........Maggie

Hi Maggie,

How's the cat scratch.  Mine do that too, inadvertently sticking me with a claw from time to time.........

Good on Taz.  What type of dog?  Will he grow?

When I was growing up, we had a cat that would not allow any dogs into our yard.  One day she (a very small cat) took on a golden lab.  She knocked it over (probably more shock than anything else) and had it running out of the yard with it's tail between it's legs. I will never forget that sight!

No wonder we love our pets.

Have a great day.
