Yellow this morning.
It looks like a winter wonderland out there. I won't know if I am staying home until 6 am...another 45 minutes. I am going to check back later!

 

Snow day
1 more day at home with my boys!
Thanks Mother Nature

 

Beautiful cycles yesterday!

 

Hooray! Tell me about your other beautiful cat that I see in the background of Blaze’s photo.

 

Yes he had nice ones!!
I hope this continues

 

He is my other love Ash. Siamese mix and Blaze's brother.
He is my guard cat, he is Blaze's personal bouncer and security guard as well.
He has a health issue...he was diagnosed with policythemia about 5 years ago. Policythemia is a type of cancer of the bone marrow. It is very rare and more "common" in dogs...but my boy is my special little man and has it. He takes chemo drugs for that and so far, he has responded amazing to the treatment.
Ash has an attitudes, doesn't like anyone that isn't me or his bro. But he is the sweetest boy...to me only lol
He tolerates my bf though which is a bonus! My bf was worried about it because he knows how protective (and aggressive unfortunately) Ash can be but Ash seems to be ok with him.
I am happy about it obviously...my bf is also allergic to cats so I thought this whole thing wouldn't work out at first but it is lol

 

....and we are bouncing in the snow

 

Wow. What a great cat! What chemo drugs does he take? I am so happy to hear that he’s being helped by this. What an odyssey you must have gone through to get that diagnosis!

 

Yes it was a nightmare and took 3 months...he was having seizures. It was so scary I thought I was gonna lose him. Then after useless vet trips I took him to the ER one night where they figured out the cause. He was there 2 days, he received a full phlebotomy and was put on hydroxiurea. It is a human chemo drug. 3500$ dollars later we came home

 

Wow! I’m glad you still have your boy!

 

Of course a bounce day since you got to work from home.

 

I came to the conclusion he just does everything on purpose...that's it! Tomorrow morning when I have to go back to work, his AMPS will be 70. Mark my words

 

Update: tonight at 9:25 pm (lots of notice ) our great YRDSB let us know that we are working remotely again from home tomorrow due to the snow cleanup that is still happening.
Don't get me wrong, I am super happy I get to monitor Blaze for 1 more day, but I had everything planned for in person learning...i was just about to go to bed and if a friend didn't text me, I would have not known about this. I am at the laptop again to replan for my day
Serenity now!
Rant over.

 

Teach them a snow shovelling song.

This video has the lyrics.

 

This is brilliant!
So gonna teach this!
Thank you so much, the kids will love it!!
