Edward that is terrific! Good mews all around! 
All of you are in a good spot right now, this is exactly what we aim for when we try to see the future after amputation surgery. CONGRATS!!!
Super happy you found a place to live too. It will feel like a fresh start and so exciting for all of you. 
Oh that's soon! Hope you have a lot of boxes and some help. I'm not sure how to introduce cats to a new home, wish I could offer some help there!
Hello Everyone
Just checking in. Last week Mignon and Jolie weren't eating that much and it worried me a little but thankfully this their eating was robust so I'm happy. I guess I should get used to these ups and downs of senior cat care. But they are generally doing very well.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Wishing good things to you all
Hello again
I have a friend who has a dog, a Boston terrier, who has just had to start saline injections because of kidney disease just like Jolie. Perrkins had told me I think about the flat butterfly needle that is supposed be less painful. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks♡
WHEW! You're so right, it is a matter of seniors and just having those good days and not so good days. Like with people! Learning their signals takes practice and you're getting plenty of it! Super glad they are doing well.
Thanks for checking in!
Was juat thinking about Mignon and Jolie the other day and how they were doing. So glad you checked in and let us know everything is gping well.
Looks like you've settled into knowing that seniors like these two will have aome up and down days (with a few "issues".....especially Mr Jolie).
Cannot state loudly enough how much your care and devotion keep these two continuing to thrive and enjoy life by your side.
Moving date is coming up so keep is posted on how that goes.... or just for the cats but for you too!
Hugs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
PS. No insight on the flat butterfly needle. That would be a question for a Vet. Sending best wishes to your friend with the Boston Terrier (cute dogs).
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Jolie and Mignon have been posing for the camera again.....and these poses are just as cute as can be. We love seeing these two as they always make us smile.
There is noooo doubt how bonded these two are and how much they love each other.💖💖
PS....Edward, when you get a chance check out the new video Tripawds just put together to update posting pics. I know you are in the middle of packing, but take a quick photo and see if you find these new instructions an easier way to post than in the past. Thanks for testing it out!

Aww love those photos!!! Those boys just make me smile!
Yes do check out the photo video Edward, I tried to make it as easy as possible to understand even for non-techies. Let me know if you have questions.

Hello
Just a few hours away from the start of moving... its almost 2 am. Please say a little prayer that the boys adjust quickly to the new environment. They have doing so well, especially with their eating.
Thanks always for your support.

I'm sure veing with you and surrounded by their familiar beds, fur iture, etc will help them settle in. May be a lottle pit of sorts for a couple of days, hopefully not though.
Update when you can

Ohhh what a big day Edward! We are all sending Tripawd Power for a smooth transition to the new home!
Hello All♡
The move is completed and I didn't think I'd be saying this but Mignon and Jolie were settled in within 24hours, eating and drinking and finding their litter box.
As a matter of fact I've never seen them more content and happy.
Jolie goes in for follow-up tomorrow. Hoping the numbers are good.
Thanks everyone for the positive energy♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
