She is coming from Laughing Mountain Chinooks.

Stampy

With our month away (http://wademcdade.com/) from Stampy, we noticed some oddities when we returned, that I am suspicious are one of these:

Stampy's vet visit

Although Stampy's eye was considerably less swollen this morning (and the proud flesh had also gotten smaller) we took him to the vet, where he got Cephalexin for about 2 weeks (antibiotics) which will be an incredible 12 pills a day because he's so big, and one week of ointment on the gross part and in his eye 3x a day.
The vet said it could either be a puncture, a cyst, or an abscess; the cyst will come back but the other two won't. So we'll see.

One shot of left eye and one of right, for comparison

Stamps' right eye got really big last night

There is something under the top eyelid that looks like proud flesh. The other eye looks like it is swelling now too.

Stamps' right eye

Has a tiny bit of swelling in his upper eyelid.

Collective Cat Amnesia

At 4 am, it appears that all cats appear to forgot everything they know, except for the drive to go outside. With the cat door installed, and two cats successfully using it (Kappa is on the short bus), they still come in, meow, wake me up, and then walk over so I can shove them through. It is really, really, really obnoxious.

Yard - during

This was 2 yards. We have 2 more to do, we think, to finish the front.

Yard - before

The new cat tower

As I suspected, Kappa loves it (he likes being up high - and high, on catnip).
Stampy and I jogged past it at a yard sale this morning, and I set in my head $20, and Tom got it for $15.

This was hilarious.

We're squirrely

Wet Stampy at Burfoot Park

It was hot again (about 90) so we went to the "beach" at one of the local parks. (The real beach, the ocean, was only about 53 degrees.)
