I'm Still Around






Hi all. Yeah I am still around, not as much as I should, but from time to time I drop in.

Eye operation #5 was Monday the 27th, and the followup on Tuesday. About two weeks ago on the 13th was operation #4 where he removed the silicone oil bubble in my eye, and a week later the retina detached again.

So this Monday, we went in and put in a new oil bubble. He says it will be there for some time. I remember from when he put the other one in, that the max is about 6 months. So looks like it should be in till after I am retired next spring.

So lets see, what else is going on? Well you remember Dingus the kitten my Son In Law rescued back in July. His eyes were swollen shut, and he was malnourished and was in generally bad shape. Here is what he looked like in July,,,


So three months later, about six trips to the vet, here he is the other day watching TV. He loves the little crawl text on the bottom of the screen. He also loves to watch hockey!! Lots of action.



You can see his eyes in the picture, they are nice and clear now, he has some real pretty blue eyes, but don't let that fool ya, he is tough, he love to attack feet, hands, anything that moves.

Oh yeah, about a month ago the ol computer died, so I had to get a new one. I am kind of glad I did, the old one was soooo sloooooow, this one is fast with 4gb of ram it moves right along.

Well take care, I will try to stop in more,,,

Have you checked his hearing? White cats with blue eyes tend to be deaf.

Hey Bobby Boy....... thought you might have gone off of the Buggs campaign for a while.
Dingus looks like a mighty fine cat! Y'all did a great job on him.
Good luck on your eye surg. We are here, waiting for you anytime.
PS. Did Flo dye her hair pink? It sure had a pink hue this morning when I got my muffin and coffee.
