For All The Ladies Of The Canteen. Especially Esmeralda, her sister and Kidlett


Therapy




When the sun goes down and it gets dark
I go about on my nightly lark
Easily checking the house's every room
For my eyes see clearly in the shadowy gloom
Determining who and what with a single smell
Counting heads and knowing All is Well

When it gets warmer and darker later
My Humans travel from the refrigerator
To the Den and The Big Long Chair
Sometimes alone. Sometimes in pairs
To unwind and talk about this and that
It's one of the Best Times to be a Cat

Leaping up from the floor to cushions and laps
Fingertips swirling my fur makes for the best of naps
Or I can opt to climb way up The Big Chair's spine
My claws gently brushing The Pretty One's hair so fine
Then slink out slowly, or sometimes bolder
My head upon my paws atop The Big One's shoulder

Later, when My Humans go up the stairs
I'll wait awhile on the cushions of The Big Chair
Then go up and see them under shiny silky covers
Sometimes as friends. Sometimes as lovers
To wait for a spot between them narrow and deep
Where I can slide close. Close my eyes and sleep

Thank you, Jack.

I think you must have been a cat in a former life! (If I believed in such things!) I want a cat just like that one...it's beautiful.

[Jack Deth]

You're welcome, Es:

Prayers Up for your sister.

I'll make sure to tell her you said so. She is at church tonight.

Hugs!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, freema. Thanks to all your Marines for their service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cool pictures of your kiddos shooting and learning to shoot, along with learning about all the safety issues.

[Allegra]

Welcome back to the weird side of the world!

I wonder if you'll make it back into Iraq today.

'Tis mighty dust-stormy in Baghdad today. Visibility's not great.

Stay safe!

[freema]

Well now, and didn't that just take my breath away!
Thank you!

[Lady Jag]

Spend last evening in the er. Still have stone; they say it looks small enough to pass. They may or may not be right as the entire composition of my stones don't completely show on CAT scan. On dilaudid and water.

[TASMANIANRED]

Sorry the pain is so bad.

Are you up to 2mg of Dilaudid yet?

[Lady Jag]

Just 1 mg so far, up from 1/2. Does seem to do the trick better as long as I put something in my stomach first.

Taz, strangely, the edema in my legs has completely vanished this morning, even though I've been inert for a few days. Only thing was I didn't take all my meds last night; didn't take Calan, Urocit-k (K citrate), calcium & Nexium.

[TASMANIANRED]

You want to take this private?

[Lady Jag]

You want to take this private?

You want to take it outside?

[TASMANIANRED]

Are you calling me out to a cat fight? LOL
