My trip to my doc

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

So here’s what happened last week. I had’ta go to my doc ‘cuz I keep having these painful urinary tract infections. UGH! I absolutely do not enjoy riding in that car with those road bumps and curves  to deal with.

My doc is a good man. I trust him and he is very kind with me. He is helping Mom L and Dad P keep me comfortable in my senior years. I have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and Mom L and Dad P give me fluids every other day. That helps lots! I also have irritable bowel disease (IBD), and have had this for about eight years now. I get prednisolone gel in my ear every other day. Over the last four years, I have lost most of my ear furs but my gut track is doing OK. I have had a probiotic in my wet food for years now and even Sage is getting that along with me as she has developed IBD. We both get weekly vitamin B12 injections from Mom L too and I get a once a month Solensia injection from Mom L for my severe arty-right-us.

So you can see I am being well taken care of. I get so stressed going to the vet that Mom L now rides in the back seat with me and she opens the front door of my carrier so’s she can give me chin scritches to keep me from stressing. I always try to peek out and catch a glimpse of the passing scenery.

You can see that even as a senior gal at eighteen years old, I still have my bright green eye color! I hope that all my senior blogging pals are doing good and that you are comfortable as you age. Do any of you have challenges like mine? What do your humans do to keep you comfy?

Secrets shared on my stairs

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

As you all know, if you have followed me from the beginning, I OWN any stairs in my castle. These steps are my personal domain and anything said or done on these stairs must be made known to me!

WELL! I caught  Domino, the new youngling, saying something to my trusted lady in waiting, sweet Katie. You can see he is directing his words to her—not having cleared his message with me!

*SHOCK* I see Katie responding!! And I have no idea what thoughts they have just shared. Will I ever be informed?? Should I fret about what they may be keeping secret from me???

Nawwwww!!! At eighteen years of age, there ain’t nuttin’ I haven’t seen or heard that’s gonna ruffle my furs!!

Nothing unusual in my castle

HIYA !!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Nutt’in much new around my castle. Except you can see my furrs are gett’in a bit ungroomed. At eighteen, it’s tuff to get my cleansing “tongue sponge” to all my furrs to keep them in order. But, I am still trying.

So Katie and Domino, the younger castle residents are doing what they always do. Domino cannot ever let an unused box get past him. And goodness knows that Mom L does love her “River Road Double Oaked” California chardonnay!

And darling Katie has decided that my favorite late afternoon sun puddle, at the end of the new couch, is pretty nice for her little body. How can I object when she looks so darn cute!

And Katie has also taken over my love of lounging on our carpeted stairs. I no longer do that, but thank goodness Katie has found my beloved stairs and call them her own!

How are things going at your castle??
