I've been posting this in pet-related communities, but I figured that I have enough pet lovers on my F-list that somebody can help me out.  :o)

Yeah . . . Gillw as kind of a spaz. LOL. I miss that lil guy. I got Frankie back in Feb. and he started out a lot like Bob, but now he's all hyper and shit like Gill. He's always trying to attack shadows on the wall and stuff and jumps up on my lap whenever I go to the bathroom. LOL. Poor Bob's a little wobbly and walking slower, but hopefully his new supplement stuff from the vet will help when it kicks in in a month. The vet gave him an NSAID (pain reliever), but I'm worried it's begun to affect his kidneys (see above post), so I took him off of it. Since he seems better kidney-wise today, I'll wait a few days before calling the vet. I think that I may wait a while and then look into trying it again at a much-reduced dosage (instead of 3 drops/day, 1 drop every-other day). It's just hard seeing him move around so poorly nowadays. By the way, cats live a little longer than dogs . . . sometimes into their early 20s. I wish my poor puppies had so many years left. But, small dogs tend to have longer lifespans that other dogs, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

By the way, I need to text you back! But you need to stop texting at like 5 am and stuff. LOL. If I still went to clubs I may be up at that time, but not any more. My alarm clock goes off at 6 a.m. for work and I still have to hit snooze fifty times. ;oP Anyhoo . . . glad you may be in town next week! :::hugs:::
