I got two delicious surprises today: puddles of cat puke AND a steaming heap of dog shit on my library carpet! Is it my birthday already?

And what the hell do they put in Meow Mix to make it stain the carpet that badly? Seriously, folks, my cats do NOT care if their food is a delightful shade of orange, but I DO care that my carpet ISN'T.

I wish I had joined the germanshepherds community earlier. I cannot get enough of the photos people post there. Such amazingly gorgeous dogs!

Not as pretty as Frieda, mind you, but still quite gorgeous.

The vet called and said that Baby cat also has an infection of some sort (high white blood cell count). He's on antibiotics now and seems to be doing better. I'm wondering if that was the cause of his symptoms, and the heart thing was just a fluke they discovered because they happened to be looking.

And now the puppy is sick too. She's very warm and lethargic and she hasn't touched a bite of food all day. Bear in mind that this is a dog that thinks cat litter is a tasty treat. If she's not eating, something is dreadfully wrong.

I'm inclined to wait and see if she gets over this without going to the vet, but she has to eat *something* soon. She even spat out a Pupperoni! At least she is still drinking.

I'd really like all my pets to be healthy now. Although Frieda is the calmest she's ever been. I have to admit I'm kind of enjoying that.
