Been out of the loop just a bit with family issues....my mom has dementia & has been in & out of the hospital, her mother passed away & last week we had her funeral. While we were waiting for the service to start, my mom asked my sister & I if my grandmother was coming! Been a tough month! Thank heaven for the boys.....Just a quick update on Cooper and Oliver. Took Cooper in for his shots on Saturday and they kicked his butt....I felt awful...all he did was sleep all day..into the evening. Oliver just stayed close by and made sure he was safe...surprisingly enough...Oliver didn't make one move to attack or play...That evening the three of us curled up on the couch together...Ollie laying a paw on Cooper. Cooper weighed in at 4 lbs 13oz. & Oliver weighed 11 lbs 7oz. (Oliver dropped a little as he has a major fetish for EATING toilet paper...not playing with it.) All is back to normal now with stampeding throughout the house. Cooper also makes the leap from floor to countertops now. Attachments:

Sorry to hear about your Mom, that's a cruel disease...
Every time we take our cats in for a shot, it knocks them down too. We have decided to not do the rabies shots anymore as that seems to be the one that is the toughest on them. Neither cat ever goes outside anyway, and rabies is not very common in the Southwest...
It's cool how they seem to know when their buddy doesn't feel well, and cut them some slack.
Great picture, too!

I've been out of it too for a while.. sorry. Having computer problems as well as a few health issues .. I have a friend of over 35 years who also has Alzheimer's.. both frontal and temporal lobe.. her mom and dad both had it but she refused to believe she had it.. well they had to take her away and it is so sad.. just a horrid decease for us left behind.. but nothing we can do but to keep loving them for as long as we can.
Yes, they do know when one of them is not feeling very good, they just seam to know.. usually when one isn't feeling so great the other gather to comfort them.. as for the shots.. I now do only the first 3 sets and forget the rest. It knocks them for a loop usually for a day or so but since they don't go out, I just have stooped doing the boosters as well.. Now if you do take them somewhere or for walks on harness then they need their yearly boosters..
