The Dude Feels Better Today Thankfully

The Dude was not feeling good all weekend. Throwing up and, well, I will just say, numerous trips to the litter box. Was prepared to take him to the vet today. But he seems much better. He is eating and drinking. No throwing up and the litter box visits are normal. We were sitting in the screen room earlier, soaking in the sunshine. Brendel is asleep in one of her favorite spots in front of a window. Hopefully it was like a 24 hour virus he had. So far Brendel seems fine as well. And today has been a gorgeous day. Woke up to 51 degrees this morning. And a slight breeze all day filled with sunshine. Suppose to be like this all week. Actually took a walk around the block this morning. I talked to a few neighbors I haven't seen in awhile, and their dogs as well. I hope for any of you in the storm paths, have survived all the storms I have been reading about. Photo is mine. The Dude says hello. Brendel will do the same when she wakes up.

Thankful the Dude is feeling better today. It is hard when our fur babies aren't well. It was beautiful here today too. We will probably receive some of the rain from Ian over the weekend into next week the way the models are looking. Here's a picture of a butterfly I saw Friday in our yard. Thought you would appreciate it

I almost missed this post, I am glad that I checked what I missed. I am sorry the Dude was not well. I hope it was nothing serious and he is fine today. He is such a beauty.

I hope Dude is now feeling his best today. Morning walks and talking to neighbors (if they're out) is what I should be doing, as well. I used to with my two younger children. But, they've grown into young teenagers. It's hard to get a hold of them :-( It's been raining here most days and nights. But today was sunny so I cleaned up the back yard. Now, my lower back is aching. :-)

@CarolDM I'm so happy to know that you live in Florida. I've heard about your State and your bad*** Governor. My brother-in-law and his wife have moved to Florida from New Jersey sometime this month. They have found good jobs there. Yey!!!

The Dude is in the screen room sunshine now, sleeping peacefully. He is great. Thanks for the kind words my friend. My cats are my babies. Both are rescues. The strong hurricane in Florida is bringing rain to us in a few days. But other than that we have had beautiful weather this week. Finally a break in the heat. That has helped my headaches so much. Take care and don't over do it.

I'm glad that he is feeling better today. Maybe a little chicken broth would help Brendel in case the bug comes her way, at least she won't be too ill.

Mr H was looking none too well yesterday morning, very wheezy and slow moving. He didn't eat much. This afternoon he was waiting for his tea and chasing young Tommy Cat about! Very good to hear that both cats are feeling better.

@CarolDM I worry about Mr H. I think he has spent many years living rough, but he has settled now. He won't be enticed indoors, not even yesterday morning when he was a bit rough. He is a total rascal!

@Ronrybs Many cats live their entire lives outdoors. I am glad my two are safe inside. Rascal is a cute name for him actually.

Thanks my cats don’t drink milk. They have a certain dry food they eat. Vets will tell you not to give cats milk.
