The topic: You know we went to Disneyland last week

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

Rode Star Tours 3D (glad we did, no way is it worth an hour’s wait or longer).  It was a passholder preview.

Well, Ariel’s Adventure Under the Sea opens to the public on Friday, June 3rd. We got emails last week letting us know that today and tomorrow, if you’re an annual passholder, all you need is your pass, you don’t need anything else to check it out. So, we’re going tomorrow.  *lol*

Last year, the year I rolled the car, Brian had wanted to go up at least once a month. Didn’t happen. Wanted to do that again this year, but we missed out on March and April.  Not sure why, work?  Me not feeling good? Whatev. Anyway, we’re back on track.

With our choice being May 31 or June 1, we went with June, giving us that month to put on our fun resumes.

I’ll take pictures.

The topic: You may recall

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

the ongoing loose stool problem of Jackie’s.  So bad that even the petsitter remarked on it the first year she was here.  That was back in 2009.  Well, it’s not gotten any better. 

I’ve seen him eat the Kirkland kibble, which are just little pieces of food, but I thought maybe he just didn’t like the Felidae.  I’ve also seen him eat what other cats puked up.  Thinking back to Lonee, I boiled up some chicken breasts last week and gave him some. He loved it.  But on the third day, he was having a tough time eating them.  Then it dawned on me.

His teeth.  He’s not been eating because of his teeth.  He badly needs a dental, but he also needs to be neutered and shaved.  I can’t imagine that his blood values are all that good, so the vet probably wouldn’t do anything at this time.  Antibiotics would probably help, but I’m not going to risk my eyesight or face. 

So, I got a ceramic bowl, put some Felidae dry in it and added water.  As the kibble softened, he ate.   It’s been four days now and even though his stool is still soft, it is firming up.  Last week I could hear him outside, passing gas when he pooped his splat (was like runny gravy).  I’d go looking for it and just shake my head.  He did this several times a day.  On the runners in the office, on the cover over the printer, and the last straw was on the bed.  (That’s when I tried the chicken.)

I wasn’t sure I found his poo yesterday, it had some soft stuff and some nice looking, normal stuff.  This morning, I saw him going.  When he was done, I checked it out.  It’s way better than it was.

So, all this time it wasn’t his intestines, it was his teeth. I’m hoping he starts putting on some weight and taking better care of himself.
