Stella ate most of her wet food today AND even some of the dry food I gave her this morning. Happy dance! That’s most of a serving of Wellness and half of the dry food. HUGE improvement for her. She spent most of the evening curled up on my desk in front of the monitor. Every time I try to put her down she insists upon getting back up, knocking things over… so...

Fun day at work
Today was a lot of fun at work. I spent most of the afternoon working with my fellow tech writer on a user guide. We walked through edits and made updates. I am probably strange but I had a ball doing it. Even when we have our own strange head-banging sessions, I enjoy working with him. We finished up the user guide towards the end of the day. Nice way to head into...

Apparently NC is recalling several thousand license plates with the letters “WTF” in the plate. Heh. That would have been an awesome license plate. I wonder if I could get one that says “RTM” (read the manual)? The information was on Slashdot this morning. Related Images:
Continue reading...Finally some progress with Stella
Stella hates the wet food from the vet (NF kidney prescription diet). Ambush (aka “the Vacuum”) won’t eat it. Stella still didn’t like the Merrick’s Turduken or Granny’s Pot Pie wet food, which both smell marvelous. Ambush and Kiesha were in love with these flavors. Stella couldn’t care less. The good news? Stella likes one dry food I found: Blue Buffalo Spa Selects. It’s a Lite formula, which she doesn’t need, but the...
Continue reading...Stella. Again. Sigh.
Last night, Stella did not look good. When we were going to bed, she tried to stand up to position her self next to me. Her rear end didn’t cooperate and she flopped over. She hadn’t eaten much that night and it was definitely showing. Poor kitten. The vet said that ideally Stella should be on an all wet food diet. That might happen if I could find a wet food she would...
Continue reading...Wet-food Wonderland
I love my kitty. I love my kitty. I love my kitty. Cats are notorious for being finicky critters. I’ve been blessed with two cats who are not. Put almost anything in front of Ambush or Kiesha and they will eat it. They might even meow for seconds. Stella, on the other hand, more than makes up for the others’ indiscretionary diet. Stella must have her wet food heated to body temperature. It...
Continue reading...I can has wet food?
Stella, bless her heart, is not eating most of the food I leave out for her. She prefers dry food over wet food. With her kidney issues, wet food is much better for her. So far, I’ve tried cans and flavors from four or five differnet brands. Stella ate the Wellness wet food pertty well for three days. Until I found a dry food she would eat… and then she quite eating the...

“Turn Left” (written by Russell T. Davies) shows just how important Doctor Who has been in Earth’s time line. We get to see just what would have happened if Donna never met the Doctor in Runaway Bride. This episode also has the much anticipated return of Billie Piper as Rose. If you haven’t seen the episode, fair warning: here be spoilers. (Episode recap over on io9.com.) Bad Wolf hasn’t been present that much...

Continue reading...Stella’s vet check
Week before last, Ambush had his vet checkup. We upped his insulin dose to three units twice per day and decided to change the kitty food to something with lower carbs and lower protein (for Stella). My vet suggested that I bring Stella in, especially after mentioning how hard the last few months had been on the itty-bitty-cuteness-kitty(tm). Stella is now 19. Up until these past few months, she never looked her age....

The itty-bitty-cuteness-kitty turns 19 today. She has a vet checkup She can vote! Maybe she should write up her political commentary… Related Images:

I might have two offers to ride horses for other people. I never thought about doing that, until I realized how out of shape I’ve become from not riding. SO… I’m going to take up the ladies on their offer. I’ll have to bring some fo my gear back from Tennessee, but hey better to be used than not. Yay! Riding! I wish it was on my girl but at least this will...

…without having fits. There is a nice walking track around a lake across the street from my apartment complex. I decided I should walk for 30 minutes 2-3 times per week. A lady from work has also been doing belly dance work outs with me during lunch. We’re also goign to walk after work at my house. Between that and changing my diet to exclude more carbs and sodium, it should make a...

Tonight was a Horse Masters meeting tonight at the Occoneechee Steakhouse in Hillsborough, NC. The last meeting was also held there. Good food, pretty reasonable prices. One of the ladies in Horse Masters had called ahead and confirmed that the restaurant could handle a group of 20-25. Meeting started at 7:00. Nice chatting with everyone. Everyone trickled in by about 7:15 or 7:30. There are some interesting upcoming seminars and a neat show...
