Thanks everyone, We've wanted him to lose weight, and so I'm sure his losing weight is just because we've cut back on all the food he used to get. He has no other signs of any problems. In fact, since he's lost a little weight, he's a tad bit more active. When he needed that enema awhile back, the doc said he was borderline diabetic. Well, I really believed it was the stress from the trip to the doc's. He gets absolutely hysterical......which is why I've really not wanted to take him back. I believe a couple of you told me to ask the doc if he could have a sedative before going in for a visit, but the office said "no". They said his blood sugar could have been elevated because of his condition (obstructed) the last time, and they would rather take a blood sugar under normal conditions. Well.....the stress of taking him to the vet, even under "normal" conditions, I really feel would raise his blood sugar. Does a cat with a thyroid problem seem normal except for crying for food?? The reason I have never gotten his teeth cleaned is that for a long time, I perceived that when we gave him his flea and tick medicine, he would have a very strong reaction to it......spending days being obtunded. I just have a fear of the anesthesia necessary to clean his teeth. He's an indoor cat, so we don't give him the flea and tick med anymore. I just think he's neurotic and so I'm going to give him a little bit of my zoloft. JUST KIDDING!! He does seem to like the Iams soft food the best. Is that a reputable brand? I have the feeling, though, that I'll constantly have to switch around to keep him interested. Gosh......you'd think a cat would get tired of crying so much. Oh....and when we don't feed him when he starts crying (even though he just ate), and he starts eating the dog's hard food! Do they have Weight Watcher's for cats?? (or cat psychologists??) :)

Well to be more specific, I was trying to get my granddaughter to go to sleep, so we took a drive just north of where I live which is Princeton. I turned down county road 470 in Altoga and found this little country road with trees growing overhead,leaves covering the road. It was pretty. Not a long drive but just relaxing. And yes, she did wind up going to sleep.

It probably means you weren't looking closely enough when you saved them and didn't notice what drive you were in. If you want them in only one place, move them from the drive where you don't want them to the one you do. Then, in the future, look closely at what drive and directory you are in when you want to save more. And, in any case, I hope you are backing them up to a second location so that you don''t lose them when your hard drive fails....

I like to drive out Fitzhugh/ Pedernales Falls Rd./ Robinson Rd rd to Johnson City. There are some smaller off shoots off of it that are nice too, and then one can turn north on 281 and take a right, coming back on the Cypress Mill rd (301). that joins up with Farm rd. 962 with becomes Hamilton Pool rd. Which will end on 71 in Bee Caves. I take this slowly, stopping at the low water crossings
