Oh my, lol... I can visualize the toaster oven pan and you that and the getting it into a cup without spilling, oh I am laughing! At the animal hospital we had a "contraption" that we used with an "arm" that allowed us to lean over unsuspiciously and grab that sample. David and I took a Swiffer duster arm and put a zip tie at the end of it to put a cup in... it is really funny but it works pretty well. I like the grabber thing though... at 5'2" I could use that for a lot of things and put my husband out of business ( he's 6'2") 

Right now it is dark in the morning so not only do we have to coordinate all three of us going out with Mitch, but I will need a flashlight to get it in the cup. Mitch is stubborn about getting up in the morning and when he does get up it always seems to be when I am trying to get ready for work... like just in or out of the shower, lol. I just have to be quicker than him for a moment so I can go help David do the deed. I am not always the most coordinated first thing in the morning, lol. 

I can't believe how much of a difference this harness is making. Where the handle lies on his back makes it so easy to assist him. He has only needed help getting up from a laying position a couple of times, and if I didn't have it he would have gotten it with a bit of difficulty, but he sees me coming to help and I get a big wag like "thanks ma". Same thing with the stairs. It seems the very top and the very bottom is when his back end starts to get tired and his back legs have been kinda weak. This stops that little bit of a trip that he has been having and it's helping all of our confidence with the stairs. 

I love that picture, so sweet. Off to get ready for work, thank goodness it' s Wednesday. No accidents yesterday!

Oh my, lol... On your lap 🤯🤯    Well, i can add another hitch on to our parodies too...*breathe..* In the middle of all of this, i made a nice big comfy bed for Mitchell up in our room because he's spending so much time up there due to..err.. puppy. I even went as far as to add an additional cat box in our room because Bo had them all hibernating in our room for a while. One of the cats decided to show their displeasure by christening all three layers of Mitchell's bed with nothing less than cat urine. 🤯🤯🤯

I had to wash each bed three times, and i swear on one of them i still smell a hint of it. That's how/why i found that enzyme cleaner. The one i still smell it on inadvertantly got tossed into the dryer before my husband smelled it...ughh.. 

The cat box that was in the bedroom i removed. They weren't really using it anyways. Oscar has been hell on wheels with Huck.. Even worse since we adopted Bo. Oscar and Bo are actually making friends now... to an extent. Oscar knows i will discipline Bo if he gets too excited with him. So now he taunts him and looks at us to lay down the law 😶

Huck has finally come out of the bedroom and gives Bo a run for his money too, lol. Remember, if Huck is 8 pounds he's doing something, lol. He's finally perched himself in the cat tree box and watches everything around him. If Bo OR Oscar come too close he pulls out the talons 😮

Sometimes i think of our life as the Fur Brady Bunch 😂🤣 Other times i wonder if i was totally crazy to take on this adventure. 

As Bo is maturing life is getting calmer. Andy was the first one to come and greet the pups, and he is totally horrified still of Le Puppy. He will come down and poke his head around the stairs if it's meal time, and when Bo crashes for the night sometimes he comes to visit. Otherwise, he waits for me to come to bed to muckle me, lol. 

I love them all, and I'm actually thankful now that David is retired. You know that saying..."no rest for the wicked"... Yeah... That's my life, lmao 🤣🤣

I don't mean to sound overly repetitive, but i really appreciate sharing stories. It has brought me down a ton of notches and helped me find humor in all this chaos.

I got everything I ordered and it all looks good! Mitchell has not had an accident in a few days now, since he started the antibiotics... coincidence?

We did have a wet place on one of the puppy pads a couple of days ago, but I don't think it was Mitchell's doing. It just didn't smell like his. It didn't smell strong of cat either so I am a little in the dark with that one.

Was a busy weekend, we just celebrated my husband's 65th birthday  I will get pictures of Mitch in his formal attire soon! I have not used them yet as he has been dry (thank goodness!)

I am really interested to see how long this dry spell lasts... especially since his urinalysis came back negative. Nothing is ever cut, dry, and easy, is it?
