barney and opal went thursday to be neutered and spayed. they both did great! opal had a slight reaction to the anesthesia as she was coming out from under it and acted a little crazy. i hate to say it, but it was absolutely hysterical watching her try to walk while she was drunk and hallucinating. apparently, some cats experience that with anesthesia so i didn't worry too much. but i did laugh.

barney left lifeline in an e-collar. as soon as we got out the door, his head fell forward and the collar was on the pavement. he stopped and just stood there, not able to see and not knowing to pick up his head. it was just so sad and funny at the same time!! poor little barney!!!

barney

ed and i have been busy with home renovations. we've painted the living room and dining room, ripped up the carpet and are getting ready to install laminate flooring. because of all of this, we had decided to wait until october to talk about getting another rescue dog. sometimes, fate has other plans.

barney is a stray i found, starving and just pathetic. i brought him home and asked ed if we could keep him over the weekend and take him to the shelter the next week. after talking about it, we decided to keep him and get him healthy. so, into the middle of all the chaos that is our house came barney.

update on opal and kittens

well, the kittens didn't make it. opal was too young and didn't have enough milk for them. we tried feeding them by hand, but they wouldn't eat from us.

opal, however, is doing great! she has put on weight and is healthy and happy.
