Happy 888 Everyone!!

Holy moly it's been eons since my last post!
I've been enjoying my summer here in Cowtown.
Sunning myself, chasing butterflies, eating grass.
Generally loving life. How about you?

Look at all this room for me to run around and be silly!!
And all for me too, I don't have to share.

That's because Kunou spent the last 3 days in the hospital.
A few months ago, Auntie Ang was making guacamole
and accidentally dropped the avocado pit on the floor.
Kunou, with his ninja-like reflexes was on that pit in a flash,
and he swallowed it whole!!! Well it's been festering
in his belly for all this time now and his stomach finally
wore it down small enough for it to pass into his
small intestine. And then it got stuck there. He was
vomiting and dehydrated. And that was last Saturday.

He had to go to emergency twice because
it was misdiagnosed the first time. Monday was the
second time we took him, his little body was
already in shock and he was vomiting up brown liquid
that smelled like it should be coming out the other end.
We thought he was a goner.
But then he had an ultrasound and surgery last Tuesday.
And today he came home! I'm so happy!!

Here's Kunou with a shaved belly and a nasty incision
from the surgery. The purple bandage was where the IV was.
He's also wearing tea towel socks on his hind legs to
prevent him from scratching the incision.

I'm glad Kunou is better now. I was getting
depressed for a little while and had trouble eating
my food. Today after he came home, I was
so happy I ate ALL of my dinner!!
Indeed today is a lucky day for everyone!
Oh and happy start to the Olympics too!!
Go Canada!
