Well I have to reschedule Bandit and Princess's surgeries because they both vomited. (sigh) I'll reschedule for next week and hopefully they will be fully recovered by that time. Princess did eat about 6 pieces of food this morning after 15 cc's of our recipe. Guess she thought I'd leave her alone if she ate something. When I got home last evening, Pumkin and Rusty were NOT in the cage. The top was still latched though. Throughout the night Rusty would be pestering someone so I'd shoo him away and he'd dance and dook so happily. He thought that was pretty neat. At 2:30, 3:00, and 4:00 a.m. I was not in the same frame of mind, although his happiness did bring forth a slight smile. The final straw at 4 did get him a short time in the cage. After about 20 minutes of listening to his shaking the cage bars, I let him out and he went off to bed. What an unruly critter! Hugs to all. tle [Posted in FML issue 2209]
