Hi, Hello, I'm Still Here!

 I know, it's been a minute or several.
 I'm sorry. Life has been lifing and the world as we know it is unrecognizable.

Bitter, my now 14 year old cat, was diagnosed with diabetes in February.
Shortly after we started her on insulin, she spiked her glucose to well over 600.
She scared the shit out of me/us. But after two days of vigilant care at home and 
all day treatment at our vet for those two days, she bounced back and is holding her own now.
*knock on wood*.  Her ears are still troublesome. She developed another abscess from
the recurring infection. So that required yet another visit and antibiotics.

Jack decided to escape and was not pleased with his impromptu adventure. It took us close to 
three hours to find him and wrangle him to get him back in the house. My Beloved was injured
in the process, bites and scratches. He went to urgent care immediately afterwards and go his own
round of antibiotics to take.  He has healed nicely and uneventfully. They were worried that he could
have developed cellulitis. But thankfully that didn't happen.

One of the ducks is nesting. She has hatched two, one survived, and she is sitting on one more egg.

Now, we're just trying to survive the heat. High 90s and maybe some triple digits this week.

Hope all is well in your corner of the Universe.
