Scooby update

This is an update on Scooby for those who are interested.
In short his blood glucose was good and he is now off of his insulin injections. He is still on his diabetic diet. Hopefully we will not have a relapse. He is under the care of a new group of veterinarians. Today I post a photo of him before he was ill with Zeke and Marigold, and an after illness photo with Zeke. He was a 14 pound cat and now he is a 10 pound cat soaking wet.

Checking my photographs I see I have taken only a few of Opie all this year! Where has she been hiding? Here she is ready to celebrate Spring by getting out to do the yard work.

Opie ready for Spring

Easter holiday is here, and I want to remind people those white Easter lilies are deadly to cats if they eat them!!! Otherwise, have a great celebration.

The Magician’s apprentices / Medusa

Becoming a magician and absorbing all these spells makes us sleepy. We need lighter reading!

Medusa

I plucked this Medusa post of mine out of a parallel universe. If you have seen it before, you must have travelled in time and space. Some of you familiar with the Classics, know of the Greek hero Perseus who has many perilous encounters with gods and mythical creatures. One of these creatures is Medusa. She was a woman who had an indiscretion with Poseidon in the temple of Athena. The goddess was angry about that, and turned Medusa’s hair into snakes! Other sources say that she was one of three sisters, known as Gorgons, born of ancient marine gods, who had wings, and snakes for hair.

The important thing to know is that looking upon her face would turn one to stone. The classic 1983 film “Clash of the Titans” graphically shows the story of her death. A little known fact is that Perseus brought cats along with him on his adventures . . .
