Grace at the dr's ofc

Today, I took Grace to her doctor because of all the coughing and heaving and hairballs. I had no idea what the dr would say, but she did surprise me. Here I was all focused on hairballs, and the dr was interested in HOW Grace was coughing ... and it could be asthma or maybe even an irritated bowel. Oh, my! I sure don't want a whole lot of experimenting done on my li'l girl. Anyway, the dr gave her a shot of cortisone, and we'll continue with the Laxitone and see what happens in the next two weeks.

Cutie at the doc's office!!

L-O-N-G time!!

We have become so used to checking Facebook every day -- and we post there just about every day, too -- that we have forgotten to post on our blog! Are others seeing the same thing happen, with themselves and with others, too?

Here are some of the latest photos we have posted of Grace & Company!

 Ruse ... in control!!

Audace ... not feeling so good for about a week earlier in Sept. 

Grace ... checking out Audace when he got back from the v-e-t!

Audace is back to normal again. I still don't know what the deal was, but I'm just happy to have my boy back to his normal, playful, talkative self!

Ruse's trip to the v-e-t!

Last Thursday, Ruse had his two-month-overdue visit to the v-e-t. It was just for his annual check-up, and he is absolutely fine and healthy!

He sure didn't like that ride in the car, though! All of about 8 miles, but he clearly was upset! Thankfully, he is very healthy and is only a teeny bit overweight. He even let one technician give him a mani and pedi! One!! It's always taken two people before this!!

Today is Audace's turn!

Today was Audace's turn at the v-e-t! Here he is in his carrier in the car. He wasn't nearly as loud as Ruse was yesterday, but he still was an unhappy kitteh!

Claw clipping!

For some reason, Grace, Audace, and Ruse aren't able to keep their claws worn off by means of all the scratchers and tile floors in this house, so I have to take them to the v-e-t for their pedicures! The photo below is of Ruse when we got to the v-e-t's office yesterday. He was NOT amused!!

Once one of the nice ladies took him out of his carrier, though, he became amazingly well behaved. Why doesn't he do that for me when I'm trying to get him into that carrier in the first place?? =)

Today is Audace's turn, and tomorrow is Grace's. They both are usually better behaved, but I'm not making any predictions. They all seem to like to make a liar out of me!
