In a recent discussion, I mentioned that sleeping with Evelyn is a disaster and Jerry was musing about it, wondering what it sounds like. I have a bit of an answer, though in all honesty this is not what full volume can sometimes be.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Jerry also wanted a video of jilly snoring since the idea of a kitty snoring is pretty amusing. I've been trying but her little baby snore is nothing compared to beautiful miss Evelyn's!

Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Love love love it!  The snoring is funny, but that twitching nose and her tongue sticking out is the cutest thing ever!

 

Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11.  A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

That so sounds like Sassy sometimes.  Sometimes she will be sleeping in another room and I can hear her.  LOL.  So cute.  Go Evelyn.

Obie is packing a bag of kibble and heading for the Graydawg bus station!

I have been pretty lucky with my pugs so far, but my uncle had a pug that not only couldn't sleep in the same room with you, he really needed to be on a separate floor!

I have gone to jab and yell at the hubby when I realized it was actually Daisy doing the snoring.

I think her and Evelynn may just be soul sisters!

Does Evelynn also clear the room with her farts? 

If so they ARE!

Snoring yes, farting no. Dakota was our gas master. Evelyn is a dainty flower.

Forget the snoring, watching her sleep is the cutest thing!

Love the tongue!  She's noisy, but still pretty cute.

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12.  Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ!  No side effects.  We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments.  He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors!  Our love. Our funny little guy!

I have to agree...the tongue out and face twitching are the best part :)   Many scratches to Miss Evelyn!

Miss L was a snorer, twitcher and a complete bed hog...and definitely not always a dainty flower, gotta love when their own gas scares them or makes them leave the room :)

Diagnosed with possible synovial cell sarcoma of right front elbow 5/31/12. Amputation surgery performed 6/7/12. Final diagnosis of histiocytic cell sarcoma 6/11/12.
