Good News!

So, Tiger A.K.A "Grandma Stinky" has gotten very very old and has over the last couple of years lost a lot of weight. I think the vet said she is between 16-18 years old which is almost 100 in human years...she's just old. We took her to the vet last year and all he said was she had a urinary tract infection, gave us some pills and sent us on our way.

Then within the last couple of weeks she has started meowing and meowing and meowing and meowing like crazy and it's driving me crazy and I didn't know what was her frickin' problem! I almost put her on the doorstep until she stopped crying like Jane does with the kids but I changed my mind. :)

I called the vet and they actually come out to your house for those "Difficult animals" which Grandma Stinky falls into that category and do the exam there which is very convenient and worth the extra cost. So this Doc said some really scary things about Tiger and what she might have...she was saying things like colon cancer, liver cancer etc which is so sad my poor baby Tiger but she said she would have to wait till she got the results back.

She calls and says everything is great! No cancer no problems really. There are still some minor issues she has Inflammatory Bowel Disease which is very treatable so all I have to do is put her on a new prescription cat food and a pill once a day. Not bad I can handle that. Grandma Stinky should be lookin' good or as good as she can look for 100 years old here soon. To any of you who care about Tiger, Mom I know you really really miss her.

It was sort of funny the Doc also had some things to say about Snax A.K.A Fat cat. She said that she is probably on her way to being Diabetic...I had a hard day when she came over I had a cat with cancer and one with diabetes what a day. So starting next week Fat Cat has to be on a new diet. Ey ey ey ey ey cats! But to anyone who loves their animals get them checked out and on good food and as Bob Barker always says "Don't forget to spay and neuter your pets."

I guess I don't see a problem with these pictures...Diabetes, silly Doctor ;)

And as for Roxy she is just as content as can be sleeping in really uncomfortable positions and getting into the mail box drop in the wall :)

Happy Birthday Nick!

Well it was Nick's 29th birthday last week...this is where I sing "Old Man River" in my deepest voice :) I made his favorite German Chocolate Cake. Thanks to Mom I was able to get the ingredients over the phone while I was on my way home, which saved me a lot of time because I always manage to do everything last minute, that's the Turner way no? It didn't look much like the picture in the cook book but it was absolutely amazing, Nick said it was the best he's ever had and I don't think he was just telling me that because he had to, it was really really really amazing.

For a really long time I've heard Nick say that he wanted a game from his childhood, Rattle Me Bones the pirate game anyone remember it? Anyhow, I was able to track it down THANK YOU EBAY! Even though I ordered it over two weeks ago we just got it in the mail today while I was at work. Nick called and asked if he could open the "Mysterious box on the door step" and I could hear him opening it over the phone. Listening to him get all excited was the funniest thing I think I've heard in a long time and I quote "Alright that's mine!" Ah ha ha ha he was so excited, I'm glad I was able to find it for him I think it made his day.

Also, here is the picture of Nick on his first day of school in front of our door like Mom made us do, hilarious. I love it, he's got his school shirt on and his brand new backpack over the shoulder, way cool.

I got a little in the holiday spirit and put up some of the Christmas crap I have, still no tree yet I don't want to get it to early.

Happy Homemaker Monday and such

Happy Homemaker Monday, here is my latest creation this week. I purchased this chair from the company I used to work for. It was the exact chair I sat in for two years while I worked there and I have really grown to love it. That's right I said it I LOVE THIS CHAIR! So when I left the company I bought it just in time to keep my employee discount and got some awesome new fabrics to re-uhpholster it. It used to be a really bright blue which I wasn't really diggin'...but the obnoxious orange I love. It's called an Uno chair and it may not look like much but I think everyone should have one, it's quite amazing.




Here is a video of Nick takin' a bath...curious?
