Merry is not happy with us at the moment. She had a quick trip to her vet clinic for her annual wellness check. She's very popular there and they love her vintage cat case as well. It was a hand me down in 1973 from a friend of a friend. Merry is very tolerant at the vets and even let Dr. Johnson have a quick peak at her molars.We knew some were not in good shape from a previous check when we were concentrating on her skin issues.

Dr. Johnson came outside after to discuss everything. We laughed this time about the still unfound black plastic tip which brought us to the vet clinic recently. A friend told me it must have joined the missing socks that are never, ever found.
Merry's avoiding me, I might be lurking with that case or a pill(she has a huge capsule every other day, but not today). You may notice the unused fountain behind the sink, she still prefers using our skills to turn on the water, cats! She had a big drink after her traumatic morning.

I retired from public school teaching after happily spending twenty eight years playing in Kindergarten. Now I fill my days watching cat antics, taking endless...
