Kappa's wound





Which apparently leads to barfing. He's got goopy eyes too.
And Stampy (hearts) Tom.

Mr. Odie - pee machine

Turns out Odie's big swollen belly was indeed fluid in his abdominal cavity. Without good circulation, his liver couldn't process all the fluids going through it, so it was like a sponge that was totally saturated and the fluids had to go somewhere.
Dr. W doubled his salix for the weekend, and said he would have to pee a whole lot (multiple times a night) until he gets all the fluids out. She said some other stuff looks like poor circulation too (his cold feet and belly, the color of his gums), but overall, he is still in excellent health for his condition.
Dr. W says his breathing shouldn't be so labored once he gets all the fluid (pee?) out and it isn't pressing on him so much.
Kappa has had something that looks like an eye infection for the past few days. I have been keeping him in, and at first I put ointment in, and yesterday I started some leftover antibiotics he had when he had that abscess on his head. His eyes are all squinty, but I think they're getting better.

Odie's not doing so hot




He is walking shorter and shorter distances, his breathing is more labored, and most distressingly to me, his belly is really big and tight. Last week it was squishy, like a water bed, and this week it is tight like a drum.

T's pictures of our trip

http://gallery.me.com/thomasjohnson#100054

Top of Mt. Constitution




These were taken on our second trip to the top. The first we BIKED all the way up. A 20 mile round trip, 3000' elevation gain bike ride. It took over an hour to go up, but less than 10 minutes to go down.

The big waterfall



Our room at the 'Roo




These don't do it justice. Note to my family: T's shirt.

Saturday on Orcas Island




Small waterfall, woods, and lake in Moran State Park.

Friday (Anacortes)




But I am cheating (3 per subject) by making up tons of subjects. This is two of Washington Park, and one of Mt. Baker from the other park in Anacortes.

Tulip Festival




I am limiting myself to three photos per subject, since there are too many good ones.
