Update on Flinstone Kids Annifurrsary
I posted last week, what with preparing for elections (DH & worked from
4:30am until about 9:30pm at one of our precinct polling stations - not as campaigners, but as actual poll workers), we had almost missed Bam-Bam, Barney & Betty's annifursary with us, on Nov 11! Well, we've been pretty busy since then, as they all got a special 'gift': they caught bad colds! Betty had the sniffles, Bam-Bam was all stuffed up, but that didn't deter his appetite. Barney gave us a fright, though - he didn't want to eat, just lolled around with this pathetic 'me not feel good' look. He got put on a stronger antibiotic, and has now come around. We were so scared for him - our fear was that it would turn into pneumonia! Poor li'l guy only just licked at the stinkiest tuna we could buy, occasionally getting a tiny chunk of meat. We resorted to putting tuna, powdered KMR and meat-only baby food in a blender, and using a syringe to force food into his mouth (with his stronger anti-pill ground up in it, too, at least one feeding a day). After about 24-hours of "force" feeding him every couple of hours, he started becoming more alert, and next thing we know he's gobbling the tuna we offered him! And nibbling on dry food. We knew he was on the mend when he swatted at my shoelaces on Sunday! He still has to take his meds (gobbles the tuna so fast, he doesn't know there's a pill in it! I rue the day he figures that out!), but Betty and Bam-Bam just */beg/* for tuna too! Even Weeble has to get into the act - and he's not even sick! All three are over the worst of it, with only sniffles and an occasional sneeze, but not the stuffed up snuffles (Bam-Bam & Barney both sounded like Darth Vader trying to breath under water) of last week. Those three are going to be sooooooooo mad when the tuna treats stop when they're all better - I wonder if they will walk around sneezing just to get us to give them tuna? Speaking of sneezes - Barney likes to cuddle up with us in the evenings while we watch TV - and when he sneezes on me I usually say "Bless you, Barney, may I have another?" I know that if I had posted a request for purrs, they would have graciously been offered, but I didn't feel right asking for them when there are worse off kitties (and hoomins, too) that need purrs more than we do! -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Lacey, in particular, sends special headbutts to Barney. When my group passed around a cold she was the one who was the sickest and like Barney gave up eating and had horrific sneezing fits and was ohhh, sooo, pitiful. I just felt so sorry for her. She says she totally understands how he feels. Julie, Hobbes, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus |
