It wasn’t intentional, but Mom got really scared when she came home from work today. Normally my little brother, Shakespeare, and I always greet her at the door and ask to go outside to play in the back yard. Well, Shakespeare was at the door but I wasn’t. Mom came looking for me and I was lying on her bed. She looked at my eyes and they were at “half-mast” (her words). I didn’t move and she knew something was wrong. She called the doctor’s house right away and they told her to bring me over. I got to see a new Doctor Man and he was really nice to me. He talked quietly and he petted me. He took me in back and Mom doesn’t know what all they did and I’m not telling. (I’m especially not telling anyone about shaving me by my “pooper popper”!!! That was more humiliating than having my temperature taken!!) Anyway, they took blood and ran some tests and everything was normal, but I did have a temperature. When the Doctor Man came out to talk to Mom he told her about some options. She and the Doctor Man decided to give me an antibiotic shot to see if that will help me feel better. Did I get a vote in that decision??? No way!!!
I’m home now and I’m resting. Mom will be watching me and of course Shakespeare will be trying to figure out what’s going on. What I didn’t tell Shakespeare is that the Doctor Man and Mom talked about putting both of us on a diet. Even with all the summer exercise, I’ve put on weight and that’s not good. Mom said we’re going to be getting different food now so I hope we like it.
Just don’t tell Shakespeare. Let’s just surprise him!!
Say a few words of prayer for Mom ‘cuz she gets really nervous if we get sick. I’m going to try my best to get well really soon.

Good Moms always worry. I will be praying for you to feel better soon.
Oh, that is so sweet. We appreciate the prayers. It’s so nice to have wonderful friends all over the world!
Hemingway, we sure hope you’re feeling better soon.
Oh…and we’re glad they didn’t shave your pooper popper.
Thanks! At least they just trimmed my pooper popper! No shaving!!!
Hope you are feeling better soon! ❤
Thanks so much!
We hope you are feeling better Hemingway although that terrible word diet is like the angel of doom.
I know! At least Shakespeare has to do it too. MOL!
I’m sending lots and lots of purrs your way, Hemingway! I hope the shot helps and that’s all you need.
Thanks for the purrs and good thoughts!!
Oh my, that is really scary. I understand your mom very well.
Hoping you getting better immediately!

Thanks, Kosmo! Mom said she didn’t sleep much last night and I feel bad about that.
You scared us, too, H. Mom and I said prayers for you to be well soon. And for your family to be brave and for your doctor to be wise and compassionate. We know that you will do fine. Hang in there, buddy. xoxo
Love and licks,

Cupcake, you and your Mom are so wonderful. Mom and I appreciate the prayers. I’m doing better today and Mom hopes I’ll be back to my normal feisty self soon.
Hemingway I hope you’re feeling better today! It’s not nice to scare our Moms…..they worry about us all the time ANYWAY but at least they keep a close eye on us and know when something is amiss. So the doc said something about THE BIG D huh (diet!)…..ick…..no fun……but if you HAVE to do it, you can. We can do ANYTHING when we put our minds to it!
Hugs, Sammy

Mom’s brother said I had too much catnip. Doesn’t he know there’s no such thing as too much catnip??? Personally, I think a bird spit in my face!
Sending you love and purrs, Hemingway.
How nice! Thank you very much!!
