Art Sunday & Bilbo

Bilbo & I made it to Birmingham & back! It was a long trip....about 2½ hours one way. Bilbo wasn't too happy on the way down there, but he was fine on the way back. We found out his heart is enlarged on one side (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), but not severely. His heart rate is fast, but his blood pressure is fine. So that news is as good as I could hope for, I think! It is progressive but he is on medication (beta blockers) and we'll go back in 9 months to see how he is doing and adjust his medicine if needed. Rigth now I am not noticing any symptoms so I guess we have caught it early! Another of my kitties is sick--Rusty lives outside and had been missing for almost a week. He came back skinny, dehydrated and had sores and hair missing from scratching. Then, just as he seemed to be getting better, he got a uti. He is on antibiotics now and on his way to getting better. He is living in the back of my studio now--I'm not sure if he'll go back outside or continue living in my studio after its finished. Sweet Pea has been getting medicine for his eyes too so maybe everyone will be well soon!!

This Sunday is Art Sunday so I'm busy getting some jewelry done for that. I only have today left--then will start getting stuff together tomorrow and set up my tent. I'll have pics to share from the show next week.

Here's a Frazier update--he's still as happy as can be! He now comes over to our front porch too. Before he just hung out in the back yard of my studio, but he's much braver now! Someone dropped off a little black kitten that he loves to play with. I haven't petted the kitten and I'm trying not to get too attached so I can find it a home!! But Frazier surely is enjoying running around with him/her. I saw a baby 'possum in the yard the other night too. Too bad I couldn't have gotten a picture of that to share--it was pretty cute, for a possum!! lol!
