Some of the hissing has diminished. Dorf and Smokey slept on the same bed last night. Don't know if Dorf knew that Smokey was on the bed. With all the problems that Dorf had when he had his teeth removed, and the many many many times that he went to see the V-E-Ts with all the problems, he probably is not at all impressed with the way that Smokey smells. Plus, Dorf can't see very well anymore and may not recognize who Smokey is either.

8 Random Things by Dorf
We got tagged for the 8 random things meme by Niko and Cloud
Dorf will fill this out:
1. I weigh 18.8 pounds. The V-E-T was unable to extract any urine from inside me when I went in for a check-up a couple of weeks ago because I have plenty of fat layers to cover up my bladder. Heh heh.
2. My most favorististist job in da werld is testing out Ham-Micks after Maw makes them.
3. I luf yogurt. Especially blueberry or strawberry yogurt. Sometimes I like orange and sometimes I like banana yogurt too.
4. I have no teeth. They were all taken out of my mouth by a mean old V-E-T dentist.
5. I luf sharp cheddar cheese flakes fur brekfest.
6. I like to sit wid my Paw while he eets his brekfest.
7. Sometimes I pick on Obi or Reno.
8. I am losing my eyesight. It is easier for me to see when I can go out in the enclosure because it is sunny out there. I like to go out there and look at Orinch 1 and Orinch 2.
We tag efurrybuddy that would like to play, ok?

Efer since G.T. gotted so sik after his allergy injection in January, he hast to haf Benadryl afor his allergy injection. Well, G.T. is not a poodin who takes to pillin.

Saturday Wrapups
Grey Update: So Maw took a care package over to Grey this afternoon. It had Chick-Hen Pill Pockets in it, syringes for feeding and water, baby food, and a couple of cans of our stinky goodness since he has different stinky goodness. He recognized Maw and was sniffing her and he ate 2 Pill Pockets and would have eaten more if allowed. So that is good. Hopefully, he will eat them when his pills are in them! He also ate half a jar of lamb baby food. He didn't want to drink, so Maw showed his Mom how to give him water with the syringe. His Mom & Dad tried to give him an enema earlier, and he fought them and howled, so this might be good news. The V-E-T had said that if he gave resistance, then he was likely regaining feeling. His hind legs are also quivering now when he is getting his physical therapy. So let's hope the clot is dissolving! Keep purring and sending those Pawsitive Thoughts!
Today is the last day for the raffle to benefit Churchill. Then tomorrow we kick off a raffle to benefit The Meezers & their new baby brother Bill. Maw picked up the KYOOOOTEST fabric yesterday when she went to JoAnn's, and y'all are just gonna luf it. We'll post a picture of Dorf QAing that bed tomorrow. For now, here is a picture of Dorf QAing the bed that is presently being raffled.
In udder noos, we ist changing V-E-Ts to a more conservative approach V-E-T. We will explain in further deetale mebbe Munday or Toosday.

Eric and Flynn, our bestest furriends from the Yookay, awarded owr furry own Dorfington Fish Stanley this wondermous Extraordinary Gold Star Award.

Eric and Flynn said they nominated Dorf because "he has had so many health problems in his life, but he has the sweetest look on his face, and is a brave poodin."
The Extraordinary Gold Star Award was created by - Storm, The Furry Fighter - and is for Bloggers who have achieved or done something special. The award celebrates beyond what is ordinary or usual.
1) Post the explanation and rules of the award and link back to the blogger who presented you with the award and repeat the reason why you received it.
2) Pass the Award on to two other Bloggers who you think deserve it and explain why.
Dorf would like to pass this award on to:
1) Diva Kitty Mom for organizing the entire Secret Paws project this year. It was huge, with over 100 kitties participating, some woofies, buns, birds, a tarantula, and a horse! From looking at the Secret Paws blog, it appears that DKM sent out around 225 emails to organize this huge effort!!! And, from reading all the blogs of very excited poodins receiving their Secret Paws prezzies, we have to say that is was a rousing success! Thanks DKM!!!!
2) Miles of The Meezer Tails because he is my almost toofless brudder frum anudder mudder. He has the same disease that I had: Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions and he keeps having to get more teeth extracted. One day he'll be just like me, toofless. But he remains SO FREAKING FUNNY in spite of the enormous pain that FORLs cause. He cracks us up with every post and that is impawtant.
Thanks Eric and Flynn for thinking of me. Youse guys is the bestest long distance Yookay brudders a guy could ask for.

Photo Hunt #27
Here is a "Classic" picture of Dorf, before he had all of his teeth extracted and before he started going blind.

Photo Hunt #25
This week's photo hunter's theme is "practical". We decided to show you the practical tip that the book "Living With Blind Dogs" by Caroline D. Levin, RN, suggests. To help cats and dogs with failing eyesight, she suggests putting black electrical tape on steps or on wall corners to help the dog delineate that object from the surrounding areas. Since Dorf is having trouble with the garden tub step, the tub itself, and the bathroom counter, Maw put painter's tape on the edges of those surfaces. Now all the cats are a little freaked out about these lines, but they'll get used to it.

Updates, Spinning Webs, Cold
We're slowly working our way around to efurrybody's bloggies who left us kind purrs and purrayers and headbutts last week to purrsonally fank you frum da bottom of owr liddle hearts.
Update on Reno: He was very vocal after coming home from the V-E-T on Saturday. Poor guy would even wake up meowing. He was also hoarse, leading us to believe he did a lot of howling while at the V-E-T. He has also been kinda clingy with Maw, following her efurrywhere and even lying on her lap. But he also puts the HARD bitey on her fingers, which is another reason why he was never adopted.
As for the C/D, although the V-E-T said he needed to be on it the rest of his life, he doesn't like the canned stuff, and Maw doesn't want to switch the whole gang over to C/D, primarily because of Obi's penile urethrostomy. The surgeon who performed Obi's operation told Maw at the time that Obi should not be on any of the URI diets because they could end up causing the opposite crystals, although he never exhibited any crystals when he was blocked. He was blocked with sediment and had a severe bladder infection. He has had several bladder infections since, and he has to go on steroids to bring the inflammation down. The V-E-T believes these bladder infections are due to Obi's "sensitive" nature and stress. And Obi & Reno are siblings. So Maw might mix dry C/D with the rest of our dry foods (except for Gatsbi's R/D that stays on the floor) so that Reno gets some C/D, but she doesn't want to switch our entire diet to C/D. And Reno drinks plenty of water from the fountains and the bathroom sinks. He did NOT like drinking water from that tiny little ceramic bowl in his cage at the V-E-T. So Maw isn't going to hold Keno & Bunco in the same months from now on, and isn't going to bring a toddler over to see us. Since Obi & Reno are both so susceptible to stress and bladder infections. Oy!
As for Dorfie, the book about blind dogs hasn't arrived yet. But knowing that Dorfie is going blind helps Maw to understand his behaviors better now. Such as; he walks with his nose very close to the ground much of the time. He also startles very easily when he is closely inspecting something and another poodin comes up and sniffs him. He likes to walk right into the pantry when Maw pulls out the food containers and closely inspect it. He does the same with the cabinets.
Several of you suggested ramps and steps. We already have steps leading up to the bed because it is one of those super tall Shaker beds. Dorfie uses those steps. He also uses the step next to the garden tub, then climbs on the tub, then jumps onto the bathroom counter to get to the food and water up there.
Last night was the first "cool" night of the season. It actually dropped into the 50s in the 'burbs. There were so many poodins huddled up against Maw that she couldn't move. We had her pinned down. At one time when she got too hot from too many poodins, she had to wake up, sit on the pillow and pull her legs out from under the covers and the poodins.
Finally, several of you asked about Maw spinning spider webs. Well, it is Halloween time, but she isn't doing that. She is working on her web master certification at the local community college through their continuing ed program. She's not thinking of going out and getting a great job with it because these classes aren't that detailed and she isn't a 25 year old who grew up designing web pages and games and stuff. What she wants to do with it is to design her own web site for cat items and other stuff. Currently she is taking Intro to Javascript which she loves because the instructor is great and makes it easy to understand. Here is the local community college's web master certification program:
