sunny at the beach

Sunny was born on August 5th 1993 between 10-11am.

Since I am away at the beach for his birthday – the first one I have ever missed! – I thought I’d show you this photo of Sunny “at the beach”, taken when he was about 10 months old. This was in my first apartment in Sevilla (across the street from where I live now), a very small studio apartment about the size of the living room at casa az. So I didn’t have a lot of storage space and that rascal Sunny used to love scratching open bags of cat litter, spreading it all over the floor, and then rolling around in it.

I just spoke to Chiara and she said that the boys are fine and that Sunny is taking his meds. But she didn’t know about Azar’s bendy paw and at first was worried that something had happened to him!  Anyhow, they are both doing fine and I am very happy to hear that, but I do miss them a lot. Somehow it doesn’t feel right to be missing Sunny’s birthday, but I’ll make it up to him with lots of extra snibbles when I get home.

Happy birthday, Sunny bunny!

cat grass pt 3

Caught in the act!

For all of you who have been following The Cat Grass Saga I’m sure you will all be pleased to know that at least one of them is finally eating the stuff – and I now have photo evidence. Weirdly, Azar hasn’t done any massive projectile grass pukes after the first one the other day. Will hide the grass while I’m away in Málaga next week, just in case.

Sunny remains uninterested, but then, he’s a dog.

vet

It started off as a typical morning yesterday, even when I heard Sunny horking up his breakfast (sometimes he gets piggy and eats too much too fast and it all comes right back up again). But then he came into my bedroom and looked like he was trying to poo on the floor! Without success. A few minutes later he tried this again in the livingroom and managed to squeeze out a couple of nuggets, but clearly something was wrong. When he came back onto the bed he was trying to clean his bottom but, as he can’t reach very well due to his big belly, he started madly licking the back of his tail. I went to get some moist paper towels to clean him up and saw to my horror that he was leaking from his butt and that  my sheets were stained with a rather smelly brown liquid. So it was off to the vet’s …

cat grass 2

I ask you … could he look any less interested?

A week ago today I was going on about how fabulously the new cat grass was growing and, once I was sure it had taken root properly, lowered it so that the boys could start feasting on what I’d been assured was something they would not only love but was also necessary for their health and digestive well-being. Well, huh. I even tried hand-feeding the grass to them. They took one sniff and were clearly thinking – hey, this ain’t asparagus!

So, I give up. I’ll keep watering the grass for now, but it’s looking like I’ll have to mow it soon. Goldarn ingrates …
