Here is Bear...



My new kitten. He is adorable. I got him on Saturday. He and Teddy are getting along great. Teddy insisted on meeting him face to face yesterday and that was it. They are friends. So now I have the Teddy Bear gang. :P

I am operating on a kitten induced lack of sleep but already love this little guy. Woot.

So here I am. I have not been posting much because well, I don't know. I thought I would post an update. I am here and have been working away. Doing pretty well at that. The end of the month is very busy as we have a new lecture series, a board meeting, a staff meeting and a bunch of other things going on. Busy busy. I would rather be busy than not.

It seems like time is flying by though and soon it will be holiday time. I have been making my holiday plans and this is what I am doing. I will spend Thanksgiving with friends here in the Bay Area and I am taking the whole week off (yay). We will cook prime rib and all the usual sides and do fun stuff around here. I hope we go to the Tiki Lounge for one of those fruity drinks etc. My friend R from Vegas is coming in and then time will be spend with J. Good times.

Then for Christmas, I am heading East to New Hampshire. I am travelling on Christmas Day as that was the best fare I could get and then I come back on New Year's Eve. I though I should spend some time with my family. My folks are in their 70s and 80s and time with them is precious. I am just really conscious of wanting to spend time with them. Also, it is my brother Dave's 50th birthday. Woot. So we will do something for that. Good times. We also want to have some kind of talk with my folks about how they will manage info their elder years. They are doing well now but what to do when they are not doing so well. I am all about planning.

So Sir Theodore is doing well and accumulating nicknames - his given name is Teddy but I call him Bubba and the latest nickname is Baboo. I keep ordering him cat toys online so he is totally spoiled. Crinkle balls, fuzzy mice -- he gets it all! I really love him. I still have not been able to pick up Boo's ashes but have paid for them (over the phone). I guess I will do that when I can. It just makes me sad. My vet totally understands.

This weekend I am going to see the remake of Stephen King's "Carrie". I cannot remember ever seeing the original with Sissy Spacek so I will need to do that to compare. I do like Stephen King stories so I don't know why I missed that one. Anyways. Looking forward to this one. I like the actress playing Carrie.

That is all I have. Hope all is well with you there. Have a great weekend. We are having glorious weather here. Cheers!

So you think you are over something and then you make a call. I called the vet to make a payment on Boo's ashes. Just talking about picking up her ashes got me teary eyed. I know, I know. It is ok. I have not been ready to go get her from the vet yet. I know I am not ready. My plan is to pick her up sometime in June. I did make a payment to the vet since they sent me an invoice for her ashes.

This is so sad. I miss Little Miss Thing. The Little Boo. Such a special cat. :(

Here are some pics taken of Teddy recently. Conclusion...he is pretty relaxed and likes his cat bed given to him by my neighbor. I will put the pics behind a cut to save the list. Boo, these are for you!

( Teddy this way... )

Cheers to you!

But I cannot take a picture of him. He is in hiding in some place I cannot find him. He stayed in the carrier for a while and then disappeared. But he will adjust. I am sure he will get more comfortable over the next few days.

That is the update. Things are good here. Just hanging. I still miss Boo but I will always miss her, I think. That is just how that is. A new cat makes a new space etc.

Cheers to you all.

My Boo cat has passed away. She started having seizures due to acute renal failure last night. The vet and I agreed that this was best as it was only going to get worse for her. Here is a picture of her from her younger days. She was my beautiful Ms Thing - spoiled and happy and I loved her a lot. May she rest in peace. I don't think I can answer comments on this but I will surely read them.

khylea shared this video with me today. I find watching this cat play very zen and relaxing. There are a whole series of videos of this cat on youtube. I know there are cat people on the flist. Sharing!



Enjoy!

Here is Boo sitting in the sun. She really likes the bedroom window.



Here is an update on her. She is doing well and eating great. She seems to be steady on this CRF stuff. Holding on like a trooper.

Cheers.
