Skeezix, (from a classic comic strip character) aka Cuchulain, aka Bob, gets to go to the vet tomorrow. Hopefully not a big deal, but one eye is runny and kind of irritated looking. We have made a point of handling him a lot and monkeying about with his eyes as he has had serious eye problems before and mightily resented treatment. He ain't that

Cheers to Bob! He'll be fine, I'll bet... probably just an allergy, or possibly he "just needs therapy," as I hear a lot from white coats. It sounds like it'll be a good time rounding him up for this chance to see a vet and get prodded. Personally, a lot of people would probably by for that opportunity, especially on someone else's dime.

The Lash speaks the truth... don't mess with your body. It's not a temple so much as a carefully constructed and semi glued Jenga game.

He has a minor (so far) infection that might well be allergy related. He did pretty well, though after a few minutes of waiting he was growling and hissing. He didn't get violent, though. The new vet is good with him, she's very gentle and patient.

The damn pollen is everywhere down here. Two straight days of record high temperatures. I think we are going to be very glad that we replaced the climate control system.

I should have used more glue when I was younger.

Best of luck with the Bobster. I hope he'll be all right.

I'm sorry to hear about the back problems. You certainly are right about not messing up one's body.

He did pretty well, thanks, and it looks like we caught it early.

I really cringe whenever an Alpine skier goes down. I hate to imagine what they will have to deal with at my age.

Skeezix! I used to read Gasoline Alley in the paper when I was growing up. Healing wishes to him and Echo (and, I suppose, Ginny!)!

And special healing wishes toward your own self! I like your "leaky old boat" expression. Still bailing!

I don't read the paper anymore, but when I did I wondered why on earth Mark Trail was still running.

Echo went into hiding when I got the cat carrier out this morning. The girl can smell a rat from a mile away. Looks like Skeez will be okay too. Me? We'll just have to see. Just now I feel like I'm bailing with a colander.

Young and strong?

Phew, "can't" & I been eyeing each other. The doctor was surprised I'm still driving as much as I do; the doctor can go fuck himself.

Ahem. I'm sending you much love! ♥♥♥
