Yeay for Fiz!
She rested while I showered, and when I came out, let me give her a bit more valerian and then even let me lay the heating pad across her hip without getting mad at me for messing with her! Then- I just looked back over to see her get up, climb the end table carefully as if to test her nerve endings, then back down, to curl up on the heater. So it does feel good to her. Excellent. I thought it might. Hopefully it doesn't get too warm for that today. Wish there was some food that would adequately hide the taste of Miloxicam...
