Thomas’s Alice
My dear blogging friend, Thomas, at Living Next Door to Alice, has just lost his long-time feline friend,
Tiffany
If you’re a long time reader of Nick’s Bytes, I’m sure you’ll remember Tiffany, my long time cyber-buddy and one time housekeeper who I introduced to blogging. She’s recently returned to blogging and has made some major changes in her blog (and her life). For exampled, she has uploaded photos of her new home in Florida. If you have the chance, please drop by her blog and say hello.
Alex
Alex is very teed off at me. Administering his twice-a-day medication is becoming more difficult each day. The furball recognized the medicine bottle and dropper that I have had to force into his clenched jaw twice a day ever since his last visit to the vet. Of course, his weakness is his favorite kitty food; thus far he has ignored the medicine bottle when he sees a packet of food in my hand. Until this morning, I have been able to snatch him up and administer his medicine before giving him his food. Today, however, he dodged me even though I had the food packet in my hand; I had to ambush him to capture and medicate the silly cat.
Awards
Recently Nick’s Bytes has received a new blog award from Daffy for which I offer my thanks:
I realize that I have been sadly negligent in passing blog awards on to others. So… I have the goal of passing a lot of them on in next Sunday’s post!
Muffin Saga
Speaking of plans, I intend to publish the next installment of The Muffin Saga next Saturday.
All Creatures Great and Small
If you were as delighted by the books of James Herriot about the practice of a young veterinarian on the English countryside, I believe you’ll also enjoy the real life adventures of Brooksie, a current day veterinarian practicing in
Man, that's sad. Rest in Peace Alice, here's to Tiffany, and continued improvement to Alex. Cheers Nick!!
ReplyDeleteI got choked up reading the post about Alice. Our time together always seems too short.
ReplyDeleteAw, losing a dear friend is always sad.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences.
Thomas' post about Alice was heart wrenching.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your well-wisher, Nick. They really do help.
ReplyDeleteWOW THAT WAS A SAD STORY ABOUT THOMAS CAT! thanks for your suport Nick! wow you did a good post posting all of this info in one i think i will start doing some of mine like that!
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to lose a friend.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award Nick.
I remember trying to administer medicine to our dog - not easy!
I'm indeed very sad for Thomas' loss. I've been over with virtual hugs which I'm sure help. :o)
ReplyDelete.
You deserve your award for being a wonderful human bean. ;o)

This is indeed a good newsy post... I feel as though I am all caught up now! Hugs to you and Alex! x
Very sweet of you to gather support for Thomas, Nick (she says as she bangs her head on the wall, wishing that she would have thought of that!)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with poking the pills down Alex. If there is a guaranteed successful way to do such things with cats, I've never heard of them.
And ewe DO rock!
Nick it is nice that you care about you friend and the loss that he suffered,I went over and left a message for him.
ReplyDeleteI hope Alex is not expressing opion all ove the place like one of my cats did after comming home from the vets.It got so bad that he would be abanisned to the powder room with a box untill he got over being made at us.
oh, nick, you ARE truly a saint for giving alex his medicine...however, i'm sure alex would disagree! truman says hi, and gives his sympathies about alice!
ReplyDeleteThis is an informative article, Nick. Now I’m off to visit the blogs of Thomas, Tiffany, and Brooksie. Hang in there with giving your fur ball meds.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your friends pet. I will check out those blogs.. Alex is a cutie.. Take care and have a great week..
ReplyDeleteI'm playing catch up again. Love the Monday jokes, I'm sorry to see Alex is troubled by allergies again and I hope your efforts to medicate him produce positive results soon. I hope you are well too. Take care Nick.
ReplyDeleteReally very good!

I wrote a nice condolence I thought on your friends blog- went back today to see response blog gone??Did this upset him that we all wrote??3 blog friends have lost animals this week. sad.please tell him we meant only love through cyberspace
ReplyDeleteI'm still there. Maybe blogger is having some troubles this morning.
ReplyDeleteI did temporarily take down the posts about Alice. I do appreciate all the kind things people have said to me, but seeing little summaries of the worst days of my life every time I logged on was starting to bother me. (They'll show up again in the archives, after a little time has passed.)
