My Isis slowly recovering
I took Isis to the vet, this is third day so nails are okay - have grown over quick so dr said no problem now. She checked Isis very thoroughly and offered to give her pain meds for two days but said that Isis didn't really show any signs of pain right now, and we didn't want to add to her distress, so no meds.
Vet was glad I had been talking ( Read more... ) -
My Isis is not well
I just called groomer - couldn't stand it anymore, Isis is not moving hardly at all and will not let me touch her.
Well I told the person answering the phone (groomer's mother) she got upset and said the stomach being shaved is a "sanitary cut" and that they groom a lot of cats and always have. I said the shaved stomach was unacceptable as I didn' ( Read more... ) -
My cat is not happy - groomed like a dog
A new groomer moved into town (Precious Pets, Winthrop MA), I went in twice to talk to them about grooming my Isis. So yesterday I took my Isis to the groomer yesterday and they groomed her like a dog!!! I am soooo angry, They did a very poor job of it. They clipped her nails down to the bed, most of them bled, so now she cannot climb up her condo ( Read more... ) -
A laid back happy birthday pose
June 27th
Just wanted to show you what Isis does so I trip over her. This way she can howl at me as if I was killing her or something! She does hate to have her photo taken, and I wanted to get this shot because it is laid back, needed it for a birthday wish for a friend to have a laid back birthday and if she couldn't Isis was doing it for her ( Read more... ) -
My cat Isis the ragdoll
June 26th
Well I have always known my cat is a little different - she tries to help me paint by tapping the canvas with her paw, grabbing the paint brush when I am holding it and "helping" me to paint - LOL. Wakes me up in the morning by turning on the radio - older model Bose that has the buttons on top so she presses them until she gets a rock ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I am posting this in my journal for two reasons - to keep track of my progress and maybe help others to think about their smoking habits. I had been a closet smoker for years and am now quitting. Had smoked for over 30 years in all. When I didn't smoke I sucked on nicotine lozenges. I don`t want my paintings to have the smell of smoke on ( Read more... ) -
Went to plein air beach session June 14th
I went, I painted and had a wonderful time! The weather was perfect and I was at the end of the beach with two other artists, the rest of the painters were in the sandy beach area with more people and it was hotter there. For my first time out in years my location was perfect with two serious painters for company.
Have been resting as my back ( Read more... ) -
