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!
Thanks for checking in! I'll try to do better next week.
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
