We had to take poor Chubs into the Emergency Vet over Labor Day weekend. He had a small bump on his right cheek that grew over night, to about the size of a golf ball. The vet said it was an abcess due to another cat scratching him outside. The nurse shaved him and then the vet lanced it open. We have to keep it open and let it drain...it is not pretty. We are putting warm compresses on him for as long as he will let us hold a cloth on his face. His least favorite part of the whole ordeal has to be the antibiotic pill he has to take every 12 hours.
Here he is in all his sad kitty-ness. He was so humiliated at having to where the cone he tried to go back into his carrier (which he hates) just so no one would see him.
The younger two boys are in the bathroom together getting ready for bed. I am on facebook, overhearing them...
Kaleb says, " He made our whole world."
Oliver says, " And all the other planets too."
Kaleb says, " He is so awesome!"
Oliver, "I know, I wish I could meet him!
Kaleb, " Well you will one day, after you die and then you can live with him."
Oliver, " That is so cool."

This morning at 6am we took a car ferry from Edmonds, WA across to Kingston. It was a short 30 min ride that cost $40, but it sure beat the 3 hour drive a toll booths going via land. In Kingston we stopped for gas and saw these weird carved wooden statues out front. Here are pictures of Oliver with the bear and Josef in the car. I sure missed his face the last 6 weeks while he was with his Uncle in Washington.
Waiting to tour Pikes Place with a bunch of nuts.
