First off - I want to thank every one for such heartfelt and compassionate posts. They are very comforting - even if some are making me a little leaky!
Tuscany - I gave her a brand new nanner today and took some video with her and nanner. The funniest one was the sparring that ensued when Josie felt she deserved the new nanner - but Tuscany held her ground. Tuscany also had some yogurt this am, some cream cheese at her +4 and some liver pate left over from a party last weekend. She is saying yummy!
I had a girlfriend come over tonight to test/shoot. She is going to fill in one night when DPS can't shoot due to a wedding. DF has shot before and tested but it has been awhile. Frankly, she didn't do that great. She is going to try to come over tomorrow night for at least another test - but it will not be shot time. Makes me a bit nervous but gotta do the best we can. Tuscany did give small yelp with shot - I think it was little higher on flank than usual. I am half wishing I had told her to just do a scruff shot - probably could get into less trouble there.
OK, it is very hard coming up with many Tuscany stories. So many of them get jumbled in with Merlot stories. Sort of sad really. But I have started a list as I start to think of some. Some are more stupid bean stories vs cute cat, but whatever.
SO, today's story is the "Death by Q-tip" story. Somehow or other it was discovered that Tuscany has an ear wax fetish. Not going in to those details. Suffice it to say that she likes q- tips after you have cleaned the ears. So one day when she was young she got a used q-tip out of the garbage. I came upon her choking /gagging/swallowing really funny. This was early on when I didn't realize that cats can't regurgitate or spit something out of their mouths. After giving chase - I was able to finally take a look at what was going on - and pulled a q tip out from the far back of her throat! It was mostly swallowed and I shudder to think if she had finally got it fully swallowed what would have happened. To this day - q-tips are never allowed around Tuscany. I think that was one of her first lives to be used up!
