Cats are the best therapy

"T" (not "T" for Taz) on Robert and Angie's front porch
Summerville, SC (July '09)

Things are starting to feel so normal around here. We almost forget that Taz is on chemo and that if not for surgery, we might have lost him just a month ago. He's running around the house, going outside to his patio chair, investigating everything, taking charge...just being himself again.

We have to give Taz Prednisolone pills every day and he always knows when we are preparing to do that. I put the pills in the "pill popper" and when Charlie goes to get Taz, he has disappeared or is getting ready to hide. After the pills go down, Taz forgets about it in just a few seconds. He's easily distracted when we run our hands under the blanket or get a string for him to chase. People should be so easy to forgive and forget!

Our Labor Day weekend has been nice. We will have warm days and we'll spend some time on our patio.

Next week Taz won't be able to be out on his patio. We are having a new patio cover installed! The old one will be torn down on Tuesday and we should have the new one up by Thursday.

More later..........
