Due to a sinus infection running rampant at Chez-Ranger, there will be a much smaller post today. Funny how something so microscopic can make such a mockery of my place in the food chain...
Ivy seems to be flirting with 8 lbs this week. The last check-up confirms the thyroid is a *bit* high and the kidneys are holding their own, which was Dr G's plan. Success! Now to fatten the tuxie up a bit... Of course, if Ivy keeps improving, and Dr G thinks it's mostly safe to knock her out to clean the teeth and do another lion trim, Ivy will be back under 7 pounds due to loss of all that matted fur...<sigh>
Maddie has been doing well. She's been enjoying the cardboard scratch-pad refills we got her, but like every 8-year old, she likes the box better!
So glad to hear wee Ivy is doing well. Madd looks like she's defending the castle in that box - "Halt! Who goes there: Friend or foe?!!"

Be careful the lion trim and tooth cleaning doesn't stress out Ivy and make her lose weight again.
Maddie, there's nothing like a good box with crinkly paper is there???
Feel better soon, Ranger!

Flirting with 8lbs? Wonderful. If you can get the thyroid under control you might be posting about Ivy on a diet in the not too distant future!
That's great news, she's a sweetheart and so is Maddie
