Roxy the Grand Cat



This was taken on a hot summer day!

This is Roxy.  She was a rescue cat that Cheryl's had for 11 years.  She was two years old when she arrived at their house.  She's gorgeous but she hates everyone but Cheryl and Dave.  Last year she got very sick.  Cheryl took her to the vet and she almost died.  The vet was actually surprised she managed to recover.   She spent a couple of nights at the hospital and Cheryl gave her intravenous for over a week at home.  She needs medication twice a day to live!  At least it's a cream you put in her ear so no pills to pop in her throat.  

Cheryl, Dave and Lexie went on a 4 day cruise on the Majestic Princess.  I've always looked after the cats.  It was no problem, once a day, clean the kitty litter and fill the dishes.  Cheryl asked if I would make sure Roxy has her meds!  Roxy sleeps under the king bed.  At 6 AM, you get the vacuum cleaner, catch the cat when she runs from under the bed, wrap her like a burrito and get the medication in her ear.  Repeat at 6 PM.  This takes two people.  She growls and hisses is upset mom has gone and hates us!  But, we managed to get her meds in her ear.  No stress for me!!! 

We celebrated Mother's Day last weekend.  Today I picked them up at Pier 91 in Seattle.  What wonderful weather and they had a nice cruise!   We stopped at Costco for some groceries and Bellis Fair for some Taylor vinyl's!

Starting to plan next year's vacation

With the Canadian Dollar/US Dollar exchange rate at 1.40 before the credit card surcharge, we've decided to stay in Canada next year.  W...
