Ann, that's a ferret.

Teddy update. Nothing dramatic. He went through a rough patch early this week, and his creatinine went back up. He's since had another vitamin B-12 shot and an injection of an antibiotic (Bityadril or some similar name). Plus he's getting fluids every night again. Last night, he also started injections of Epogen, which should stimulate creation of baby red blood cells and treat the anemia.

In short, we're experimenting to see what the best course of treatment is. I'm beginning to suspect it's regular fluids, periodic injections of Bityadril supplemented with Zeniquin pills, and periodic injections of vitamin B-12.

He seems fairly perky these days. His appetite slipped for a couple days but has increased again.

What is even happening?

re: hazardous bathplace: Their kitchen counter is pretty long, so those lovely stabby-man knives are well out of reach. But it sure looks wonderfully frightening in those photos.

Even when Noah's on the little pad to the right of the sink? I'm sorry, the mother tag so doesn't close, and Noah already has his share.

(It's just that you never think they can do something until they do it.)

(And then they do it.)

(And on the good days, you catch them in the act.)

(Shutting up, now.)

I do love the knife stand. Too much.

(eta "his" to "share")

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just ordered one of those knife holders as a house warming gift for a friend. She's a psychologist so I suspect she's going to love it lots.

If Grace grows up to be the Bad Haircut Avenger, I wouldn't be surprised. And she's the one with the sedate, well-behaved hair! Not like Noah's punkster hair. So not fair. They're both adorable and I'm awful to have laughed at Noah's alarmed bathing expression.

I spent 15 minutes this morning pleading with the alarm clock to be wrong. Why I think arguing with an inanimate object would work, I don't know.

I seem to be making the sound of Ultimate Suffering. Better get some coffee, I guess.

I'm not a mother, but I think the mothers have a point. Those babies will move from "ooh, cute little creature tied up with tubes and monitors" to OMGWFTStabbyElectricOutletChemicalsUndertheSink faster than you think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do they still make those Mr. Yuck stickers?
