The topic: Saw Bart in the hallway this morning

----------------------------------------------

and, oh joy, there are no cats on the bed!  I can quickly make it.  Easier without cats, you know.

When I’m done, I go into the kitchen and get some paper towels to clean up the pee by the front door.  I throw them away, then go back into the office.  I glance into the bedroom. Bart isn’t on the bed.  Hmm.  I start looking around for him.  Look in the living room, not in the litter boxes.  Look in the dining room, not at the feeder. Look out by the fountain on the patio (he likes to drink that water), he’s not there.  Okay, where is he?  I go back into the bedroom and look at the feeder in there. Nope, not there.

Panic sets in.  I go into the office, pulling off my socks as I go.  I told Brian “I can’t find Bart” and I’m out the door.  Once outside, I look down by the pool.  He’s sitting at the edge of the pool, by the steps.  Crap, crap, crap.

I walk down to the pool area and Bart stands up and walks over to the steps that go up into the yard from the pool.  “Bart! Bart! What are you doing?”  He’s been watching me and he stands up and before I can go down to the steps, he’s walked over to them. And he pretty much ran right up them!  Wow!

I was amazed at how much better he’s walking.  I got this stuff for him last month, but only started giving it to him on a daily basis last week when his cold was so bad and I was shoving amoxi down his throat (he had yellow/green goopy snot).  I’m supposed to put it over his wet food, but he doesn’t eat that much at a time (only needs a quarter of a level teaspoon).  I started packing #00 gel caps (beef flavored) and it takes two of those to get close to the correct dose.  I’ve been giving him one in the morning and one at night. 

And it looks like it’s working!  The vet told me that it will just keep getting better for him.  If he does this well in a week, how good will he be a month from now?  It will be so nice to see him walking pain free, you now? And this stuff doesn’t have any bad side effects, either and it’s not extremely expensive.

Oh, the stuff is Synovi-MSM, if any of you want to discuss this with your vets.
