Nicole, Polychroma and Bonfire spurges don't spread themselves around. In the 12 or more years that I have had them here, I have seen maybe a half dozen or so seedlings of the Polychroma, and none from Bonfire. Euphorbia Chameleon is a nightmare of a spreader. I have been fighting it for 15 years. It shows up in a different place in my yard every year.

murrysmom, lol! I didn't realize that I was in the pic till after I had posted it...and if you could look close enough, the granddog is in my lap. When we go outside, she always beats me to the scooter and is waiting on it when I get there. jemdandy, love the little raccoon. He is probably related to the one that keeps leaving 'handprints' in the birdbath.

Smudge went for a check-up today, and as soon as we put the carrier up on a chair, Bud went in it. None of the cats are afraid of the carrier, in fact, it's out all the time in the corner beside the couch. Smudge or Roxie spend a lot of the time in it sleeping. We put it on the floor after taking Bud out, and Smudge walked right into it, and off to the vet. He's doing really good for his age (16) bone mass is good, pulse is steady (they just love him, he's so good and calm, and doesn't flinch when they take blood out of his neck). They did blood work and a urine sample. His thyroid is noticeable though, and I'm expecting to have to increase his thyroid meds. He does need to have his molars pulled, so that's scheduled for next week. He's a good candidate for having anesthesia. Major bucks though ($1200). Maybe I'll start a go-fund me page!

Great toe cleavage, Annie! I too love furry paws! Even though we paid for a cast of Smudge's paws, they weren't able to get the fur, just his pads. I much prefer the scanned prints that the vet gave us, because I commented that I love his furry feet. I wish I saved the money on the cast. Anyway, here is Roxie as a kitten; she too has furry feet.
